I've been playing long hours. It's cool game.
I have three questions:
- I chose 1764 to play as Enligshman. If it change to different date (a few years), Sweden will be removed and replaced by USA?
- If I chose 1764, can I meet HMS Surprise somewhere? I'm asking because I'm looking for it although I know it's from different decade.
- Is there any possibility to change something in some file to change the date?
Nation replacements won't occur during the game. Sweden is an optional nation that can be activated or deactivated in the settings
You'd have to check Periods.c and ships_init.c but I don't know anything more specific because I don't play NH that much. If the Surprise is a quest-only ship it should be only permanently for sale from Vanderdecken, but never appear in random encounters.
I don't think that you can easily change the date in a file during a playthrough, you can only skip time through the console. But then again, the world won't dynamically change
