I just completed a game with this mod on revolutionary normal speed. This is THE mod! It looks like a pretty damn good game after all. Those warehouse warnings are stroke of genius. The reduction of immigration and education threshold is also a nice touch.
Suggestions:
- You should raise the initial REF for the higher difficulties to make it more challenging even with Liberty bell avoidance. Maybe conbine it with decrease of REF from Liberty bells.
- You should also increase native training threshold.
- And horses you get from ranch.
Also there are a few things that IMO aren't bugs and are part of the game balance:
- Treasure dont take 6 cargo spaces. It makes galeon not worth it. When you weigh risk; time; and cost on one side, and profit on the other... just revert it back to what it was

.
- About the armed natives mixup. I think it was meant to discourage selling them horses. Its just too obvious to be a mistake. Natives get bonus when attaking on certain terains, so it was balanced with no defence bonus. Armed mounted natives get defence bonus to make up for their lower strength, compared to dragoons. But now that horses are expensive, its not that much of a problem.
- Natives don't really
give you the cities. They just give you the deed to the land and move on to somewhere else. So now you can safely build your own cities there. I think it works OK the way it is.
- Also, I dont think you should be able to cancel native training. You just "live among the natives" untill you feel like going home. Not sure about this one.
