The change of gameplay era would be too drastic. I think that if some part of modders wants to make such fundamental modifications, they should create addon to the Build rather than make revolutions which some other would don't like. I think that because making a switch in BuildSettings.h is impossible in this situation, this changes should be made as follows:
- 1st file - pure Build modpack with Portugal, soldiers/townguards without muskets, but with ships (like smaller frigates (with 28-32 guns) and large frigates (40-46 guns) - note that in this case corvettes should be smaller than small frigates);
- 2nd file - something like "Build USA Independence War 1814 addon", with all proposed changes and even with modified main plot in which Nathaniel is a hero fighting in the cause of freedom for USA (or he's a hero trying to help Britain conquer USA). After installing base modpack, people who want USA campaign would just extract addon over Build mod.
I'm sure that it would require more work, but on the other hand we could get two things at once (possibility of playing in Age of Piracy and/or Napoleonic/USA Indpendence era). In my opinion it would be optimal solution which would make everyone happy.
