FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions:
Is this mod compatible with BPM/Ultra Historical/Gilded Age/VTM/Divergences/etc.
Read the Compatibility section of the mod description.

How do I remove the Effective Native Resistance and Comanche Domain modifiers?
Research the Repeaters technology in the Military tech tree.

How do I increase Manifest Destiny?
Read the Journal Entry. The words pro-expansion and anti-expansion have tooltips with information.

How do I unlock the American Superculture/Claim Canada/Claim Cuba/etc.

Here is the full breakdown of what Manifest Destiny values unlock:

MD
Unlocks
1
Industrialists can gain Railroad Tycoons trait
2
3
Mexican purchase, Ostend Manifesto, homestead acts
4
PB gain Empire of Liberty ideology, AF can gain Gunboat Diplomacy trait, William Walker's expedition can spawn
5
Cuban Purchase option, take northern mexico in G-H, Demand BC button
6
puppet mexico in G-H
7
annex mexico in G-H
8
American Anti-Imperialist League can always spawn
9
10
Claim Canada button
11
12
13
American Superculture can spawn

Specifically the American Superculture has these requirements:
  • 13 Manifest Destiny points
  • Less than 20% radicals among your Dixie and Anglo-Canadian population
  • Less than 40% radicals among your Yankee population
  • Landowners do NOT have the Pro-Slavery ideology
  • Has researched the Pan-Nationalism technology
  • Is not currently at war

Can I avoid the Civil War?
The Civil War is not railroaded to occur in the mod, it's just very difficult to avoid due to the already existing historical conditions of the USA. If an Abolitionist president is elected, the Pro-Slavery movement will instantly jump to 100% activism and try to launch the civil war.

My Reconstruction and Manifest Destiny JEs aren't completing!
The Manifest Destiny JE sticks around permanently unless you fail it. The Reconstruction progress bar tracks the current balance of power in the south. The JE completes when it times out, with the current state of the bar determining the outcome.

How do I get Afro-American as a primary culture now?
Complete Reconstruction with the progress bar in favor of the Freedmen. You will get the Long Reconstruction JE. Wait for the Long Reconstruction JE to complete.

Does the AI use this mod?
Yes. The AI will pursue and complete the mod content and JEs, acting in accordance with whoever is president at the time. There are even some special American AI Strategies they will adopt.

I didn't get enough events regarding reconstruction ( like 3-5? ) and was only able to get to 10/20 progress on it. Is this just incredibly bad luck or an oversight in the game, yes I've played before and finished reconstruction, games not crashing its running smoothly.

Did you pass Cultural Exclusion or Multiculturalism? There are several additional events gated behind granting Afro-Americans the right to vote.

Thanks for the reply. I'm hoping it could be added as a stand alone option after Alaska is purchased, as well as Cuba Purchase and Mexico G-H events as I think taking Rio Grande early (for its company) breaks some options for Monroe Doctrine. Including "Take all of Mexico". I'm probably just playing incorrectly/rushing things.

Adore the options given, though. Love to see more "purchase land" options open to pull European fingers off North America.

No, completing the Oregon Treaty means you're agreeing that BC is well, British. After that point its no different from the rest of Canada.

Yes the Treaty of G-H will not fire if you've rushed and taken mexican states already. The mod is broadly designed around the historical timeline and thus things will take longer than meta gameplay expectations (see also: Reconstruction takes a decade to resolve, the Plains are usually not fully colonized until the 1880s-1890s, Afro-American takes 30-50 years to become a primary culture)

How does one avoid the civil war so that you don't loose the Manifest Destiny Points?

for the american superculture, what is the best citizenship to have during it to get the most out of this option? multiculturalism or ethnostate is kinda trash, is cultural exclusion or segregation best?
