The United States originally used unique age-up rewards for each State before going to the 2-1-2 system. These can be seen for Age 2-4 in the reveal trailer.
Prior to release the United States had Louisiana, Maine, Missouri, and North Carolina as age-up options, some assets remain for them though their strings and techtree entries don’t reveal much.
Mexicans similarly have some differences from their
trailer to launch. They may have been using one age-up reward for all 5 instead of the 2-1-2. Haciendas couldn’t produce Settlers by default and had cards that could enable it. Revolutions had different immediate bonuses, such as Baja California transforming all your military buildings into Saloons.
Mexico had several
Lancers of cards that no longer exist but had icons made. Lancers of Jalisco and Lancers of Zacatecas only have icons remaining. Lancers of Texas can be seen in the trailer and still has a techtree entry and strings remaining for it. “Upgrades Chinacos to Texian Lancers, which are trained and move faster and have a powerful charged attack.”
Central America revolt had a Costa Rica Isolation card that blockaded enemy home cities for 2 minutes. I believe there’s a handful of other cut Mexican card effects though I don’t remember exactly what they were to track them down again.
The popular profile pic that we got a while back is the icon for an unused Royal Mothers card at DEHCNativeLoreEuropean which shipped a trading post wagon and made Royal House powers have 35% faster cooldowns. Italians had it at some point as a it remains as a prereq in their home city file.
Models for IGC, SPC, and a sword exist for Francisco Pizarro, possibly for a historical battle that didn’t get made.
