IMHO one should always consider the post-war period aswell.. and a time when ones cities span the whole of the americas.. Then, a +25% rawmaterial is worth a lot more than ~30 ind servants as a once upon a time bonus.

too bad one cannot build walls and do as i liked to in age of kings, battle of lepanto... wall in the whole coast and leave those turkish troops unable to land... while towers were sinking the transports :D

would be a really nice option

Yes, the colonial money was a big reason... and then it was banned, turning everyone destitute, forcing them to get english pounds. Pounds they had to pay intrest on.. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-515319560256183936

i suppose a massive trading strategy might work.. get the indians hooked on tools, glass pearls and such.. buy silver from them. Set up several merchant men that do nothing but service "their" village :P All the while the one colony remains somewhat modest. Then import 3 elder statesmen and a...

:lol: Just might work.. i mean, maybe even those english could set up 13 colonies... making about a quarter of frances haiti.. and still win? Nah, that would be awfully ahistorical :D

Nah, its called integration.. instead of trying to go for special favors the indian wont act out and instead behaves like everyone else.. and everyone else threats them like anyone else.. and thus an end to racism ;)

more of a funny feature.. they want to be white, and since the english are now gone, guess they chose to be your kind instead :D

Silverminers mine silver from mountains Oreminers mine ore from hills To state that oreminers get more ore from hills than silverminers can get ore.. well, duh.. you could put in a lumberjack or elder statesman mining ore and it would be no more or less than the silverminer can mine ore. Duh.

heh, well.. there was the burgundian dukes or city councils probly more exact also the holy roman emperors then the spanish kings finally a republic of their own ..but then replaced by a monarchy yet again Wouldnt that be funny, just after the 80 years war.. rebelling against the republic in...
