In colonization, I´m not too happy about beeing attacked unprovokedly since to me this is supposed to be a game about resources, and what you can do with your resources in order to prevent war in the first place! If you use your resources wiesly and get nice relations with a native tribe - and the tribe still attacks you - then the entire game seems somewhat pointless.
I'd have to disagree. The point of the whole game is to be able to win a war for independence (or to keep the AI from winning a war for independence while you wait for the clock to run out - cheesy, but it is one of the victory conditions). While I'm not happy with Native wars in the early game, I want them in the mid-game. How else am I going to get units that can fight the REF and win?
The REF units come with pretty good bonuses versus settlements and my forces have squat except for a couple of Founding Fathers that one of the other power might get to first. So the alternatives are to get into wars with the other European powers or to get into wars with the Natives, or both. While I won't go out of my way to DoW the Natives (OK, I would if I were Spanish), I kind of hope for a mid-game war for the promos.
