Whoo Hoo... Trust me... it will work out much better... I am afraid that the US would have trouble conquering Mexico. They still may, but thats an issue for beta.

The invasion of Mexico shouldn't be a cakewalk. The US was "supposed to" lose the war, according to most 3rd party observers in Europe. Mexico had a quite decent army, actually.
I've certainly never heard that... At best it was a toss-up... but the political situation in mexico was extremely volitile... in any case, I have never heard Mexico was supposed to win... and I am a history major.
The political situation in Mexico wasn't that volatile. Santa Anna crushed basically all of the insurgents except for the Texans.
I don't have any sources with me at the moment, but of course I'm a Physics/Math major.

All the same... it doesnt change the fact that san francisco shouldnt be a CoT til the GOld rush time period
Jeez, I'd call it a toss-up if the decent Mexican soldiers could of sent an invasion force into Washington D.C. and take the city in one day, or acutally set foot in the US heartland.
It was a totally one sided war.
Majors Battles/Seiges of the War which the US won:
Battle of Monterrey
Battle of Buena Vista
Seige of Veracruz
Battle of Cerro Gordo
Battle of Contreras and Churubusco
Battle of Molino Del Rey
Battle of Mexico City (Chapultepec)
What were some of the major battles that the Mexicans won?
Suprisingly, I found only one... and that was in August of 1846 when the US Army was thrown out of Los Angeles after a month of occupation, but only to return in January of 1847.

Yaya leave these discussion for another thread. Thank you... No patriotic feelings pls. Only objective stuff
We're all americans... its not a matter of patriotism All the same, for gameplay, as well as historical reasons... I strongly suggest the manifest destiny kick in early, 1820 or 1821.

looks good for now... we shold get a better feel once we actually start beta-testing...
I thinmk Rio de Janeiro should be the South American CoT. Rio was the most important port in Brazil. Brazil had in the 19th Century more than 3 times the Argentinian population.
Perhaps Mexico City CoT should be moved to New Orleans or a new one placed there, it was (and is) an important center of trade through out time period.
we need to rework the CoTs... I got 3 new ones in the first 3 years of my last game in the following locations...
Nehalem (British Northwest)
Bourbon
Antigua
