Speaking of which, are there any mods that change the way pioneers work back to the same way they did in Colonization 1?

I've always sorta known how to play the original Colonization, but I really can't grasp how to play this one... For one, I have trouble even finding a good enough starting location, the natives seem way too dense along the coast (I've been playing as France, and just using the Play Now option...

I just started playing this game, and it seems like while the original Colonization is a largely seafarring intensive game, and there will be lots of island action, but it seems like the islands we get here are ALOT smaller, and the native villages are alot tighter together making a good start...

yeah but what are the chances of that happening =.="

Heh well I just want to get a bit more in depth into strategy... I MIGHT start an emperor game soon though, but the last monarch game, as vmxa know, took me something like 3 years (breaks in between off course) to finish off, so... PAIN. Regeant is the level where all bonuses are 0 to both...

Hm... but the AI will tech so fast that the Hoplite wont even last much... Right?

It seems like, both these civs are based on building up, which doesnt seem to fit anything above Monarch, which the only way seems to be to massively sprawl over the entire map, and hope to overwhelm your enemies with huge weaker armies. Anything useful about the traits? Is it even possible...

Well I didnt really mean the super challenging stuff either >.> I just mean, something different than a huge pangaia map >.>

Omg I want to see the NO military units game.... Arent you just a little toy for all the AI civs then? >.<

No Cavalry...?! Hows that possible T_T I mean, a LONG part of the game IS fought with Cavalry... Without, I'd have to use like, Guerillas, or rush really hard to Tanks... But its so long to tanks =.=

Somewhat small archipelago map using Vikings to see the power of the Zerks? Huge pangaea on cheiftain using Greece to try to be a score hog? Other suggestions? Try to tell me the kind of map, difficulty (The highest I've done is Monarch and that was PAIN), what nation to use, etc... Not...

and yet no one talks about that game, at all...

Oh I get it now, I was expecting the elaborate fleet combat animation when I was attacking a single ship =.="

Wow awesome advice. Though I just read on the Galciv Wikia that in Dark Avatar, the only two effective ship types are ones loaded with weapons, and ones loaded with defence designed to soak up alot of damage... True? And I was just wonder, should you like... Fleet in the manner of... Say small...

Like, how often should I design new ships... And what kind of variety should I use when it comes to fleets? Should I... Design new ship everytime a new tech comes around for a weapon? Is it really necessary to mix and match your fleets with different weapon/defense types?

Thing is, they werent... They were "defender" ships... O.o

Is that how it happens cause it just says I've destroyed something, but it doesnt even show the fleet combat screen thing...

Anyways thanks so much for your help on this game... I dont think I"ll do this again anytime soon >.<

OMGOMG its done! Took long but its done!! I didnt find out tanks had blitz until the VERY END OF THE GAME UGH!! >.< Dont know how that silly Chinese typing thing got in the way >.<

Well Rome basically has early Macemen... Or is it not really the same either? >.> Maybe I need to read up strategy in using units as well... The way I've been playing so far (on nobel) is something like, Axe rush whoever is beside me that I want dead, then go to maces and use combination of...
