Strategy[]
New Hampshire is a federal state that focuses on economy, artillery, and infantry. Picking this Federal state enables the United States to get three Factories, one of them in the Fortress Age, unlike any other civilization. If the player wants to perform a booming strategy, picking Massachusetts or Pennsylvania for aging to the Commerce Age, and then New Hampshire, is the way to go, Also, this combination of federal states is the best start for an Outlaw/Mercenary strategy because these two federal states offers some coin-related federal cards or technologies. The Napoleon Guns from French Canadians is a good addition if the player wants a Mercenary strategy, and this artillery may fill the role of the Falconet to a degree.
The best follow-up federal states for New Hampshire in the Industrial Age are probably California and South Carolina; with California, the player will be able to greatly boom the economy, thanks to the additional Town Center along with the California Gold Rush federal card; with South Carolina, the Napoleon Guns will be improved with the Marion's Diversions federal card. In the Imperial Age, New York is the best follow-up Federal state; New York focuses entirely on mercenaries, improving the stats of these units, and Napoleon Guns are a mercenary unit.
