I just took up playing Colonization and I'm doing okay but I feel like I definitely need to improve. In the last game I played I was expanding very slowly, by the late 1600's I had only five towns - a two around size 9, a size 5, a size 3 and a size 1 I had just settled. After doing some exploring I discovered that the Dutch already had close to 10 cities and most of them were good size. Not sure where I'm going wrong there. Maybe not specializing my cities enough to have some for growth and some for production of goods?
Secondly, the AI was absolutely crushing me in attaining founding fathers. I had only two while the Dutch and English racked up tons of them. Not sure where I'm going wrong here either - I usually don't bother with liberty bell production because for the early game I concentrate on expansion and improving my cities.
Any thoughts on how to improve my play?
