We have updated our Community Code of Conduct. Please read through the new rules for the forum that are an integral part of Paradox Interactive’s User Agreement.
In general, or for the War of 1812? In general, WWM, SRI, or MMP might be what you want, if it is for the war, probably not.
well generally is fine, as it should also cover the war of 1812.
afterall, it's generally considered apart of the Napoleonic wars.
has events and stuff that aren't random but happen when they are suppose to, and the computer doesn't go wild and start doing things like Japan attacking Africa.
Then you want either EU2 (different game), For the Glory (different game), or MMP (mod for EU3).
This game is made to simulate over 400 years of world-wide history. As such, the game rules are very generic by necessity.
Therefore, the game cannot and does not simulate every war in a way that does that particular war justice when it comes to specific strategy and tactics.
If you are very interested in a specific battle, you are better off finding a game where that battle is the specific focus.
If you want to play a general, all-encompassing strategy game, with economics, trade, conquest, politics, tactics and strategy all bundled in one, EU 3 is the game for you. Just don't expect every single part to be well-developed and detailed because it isn`t.

EU2 I have looked at, but are the graphics and stuff just as good as EU3?
the game is on it's way, I think first I will play it out as is, and then see what happens.
I'm gonna also look into cheats to help me get the USA convicted into a British dominion or vessel faster.
I;m also gonna conquer other lands for Britain, like the French Caribbean.
Wish me luck...

unfortunately, this seems to be the closed to a game that has war of 1812 in it, so I'll have to make due with what I got.
I just hope it's realistic enough to be close to historical reality, and the game play can take w/e what if scenario it does, giving me ideas for what if essays on the war.

FTG doesnt go up to 1820 or 1822, trying to win the war bu 1819 seems impossible.
is it a game that I can buy? or download?
EU2 might be too old for me, but I might download it.
MMP, where is that at?
Some like the new graphics better, some don't. But the graphics of a strategy game really shouldn't be your priority.
IIRC, you can buy it on GamersGate.
It is in the EU3 mods sub-forum.
You can find the Whole World Mod in the Mod section of this forum.
There aren't puppets in EU3, there are vassals instead - in the latest expansion, Heir to the Throne, it's almost impossible to vassalise a country with more than a few provinces. But if you do a good enough job taking their provinces in the War of 1812, you can vassalise them in the War of 1817.

From all your posts it looks like you are expecting a completely different game than this actually is. Try the demo first.
ok, i got the game, its different than i expected, but still cool and useful.
what are some cheats i could use, like one that will make the AI agree with me no matter what i demand like in HOI2, or creating troops and putting them in a province under my control w/o moving them from ocean to ocean.

you can still win with ENG by massing your armies in America while your ships defend against the REV FRA invasion. FRA dont really have good ships in the first few months keep chasing the main US army till they got destroyed. after you do that, bring in armies 2k of infantry each and mass seige the providences. Make an army of calvary ONLY and run around killing watever resistance left of the congress. Then you can end the war in 1813-14. You dont want to move your armies out yet, disband all the merc you have in America. Declare war and take stability hit then invest your money into stability making WHILE your armies still stay in America do the job again. Use the Calvary to kill the mercs. if there are any with high morale. Continue like that until USA is completely destroy. the year is gonna be 1820 and you get back your USA but might lost Cannada or Ireland. Unless you buy alot of armies and do a good job killing REB then your fine. Use the last one year to stable your country. Dont care about aything else since in 1821 the game wil lend anyway, you dont have to deal with the massive war exhauste and inflation.
