Played about 40+ turns so far. I got one size 5 city and a couple other cities (one is a silver mining town although I'm not very happy with its location). Natives to the north and south, no other European colonies in contact. No warfare yet.
So far it reminds me a lot of the original. Still working on getting a trade network going (the silver mine should help a lot for that).
The weird part is that I seem to be passing up a bunch of founding fathers. Don't know if that's the right idea or not.
Yea, me too. I just started grabbing a couple of FF. I started out on a not so large island and it's split 50/50 with the Dutch and me (England).
I may have to try that graphics mod....I actually had intended to but I'm kinda cought up in the one more turn syndrom.
