That might be your goal but it is certainly not mine. I play this game (and any game) for enjoyment. Creating an 'independent and successful nation' is exactly what I like most about Col2. Exploring, trading, colony management and combat make for varied and engrossing gameplay. If you prefer to use exploits to win, well you are entitled to - it is your game so you can play it any way you like. But don't assume that yours is the only way to play.
I agree. I remember sometimes when I used to play the orginial one, that I would just play to take out the other European powers and the native americans in the new world. Those few times I never declared independence. Maybe that is what made the orginial so great. There was not as much of a push to getting ready for independence. So during the game, you could attack others, and really not have to worry about that hurting your chances to win the game by independence in the end or not.
