play as a Native American nation

[Chaos128]

I apologize if this has been answered already, but is it possible to play as a Native American nation (Apache, Cherokee, etc.) ? neither vanillia and VIPR_.01 list then as playable, is there a way around this via editing files? Thanks in advance.

in the .eug files for the various scenarios open them up and near the top you'll find a list of all the TAGs of nations that are playable. Add the 3 character tag for the native nation of your choice, save, and it will be selectable.

note that in VIP at least, there are no events designed for a player who is actively playing the NatAms, they really are designed more as placeholders to better model the expansion of effective US administration across the continent.

you need to go into one of the VIP.eug files (unsure which one) and in the first few lines there is a playable natiosn part. You need to add the tags (Uxx where x represents a number) into that box. Then they should be playable.

EDIT: OH .....

In Vanilla Revolutions there is Metis Confederancy , Desert, and cherokee countries. If you cannot release them via England or Usa in the Grand Campaign Go to the revolution.txt file in the victoria folder and search their date of "birth" and put 1825 or 1830. If you cannot find which is their tag name check it in the configuration folder in the file that is called World names. And i think you can play them afterwards as satellites. NOTE: Desert country is still claimed colony buildings in 1836 so you can edit the these claims of the countires, erase them and add the tag of desert in the playable countries list in the GC scenario file.
Complicated but i hope it helps.

sorry for the late question. So desert country was a mormons country? i do not know about their history at all.

It was called Deseret, not desert.

Deseret is uncivilized in Victoria terms. I guess the mistake comes from here.
