I was playing Spanish, I declared independence and the first wave landed, they were polished off easily and I awaited the second wave, building dragoons as we waited... and waited... and waited...
My only eastern coastal city was Isabella, on the leeward (westerly) side of a small island of natives... As I wondered what they heck was going on with the King of Spain... I notice his MOW's sailing in circles, between my Fortress of Isabella and the Isle of the Tupi... around and around they went, unable to find their way home...
This was a major problem, there was 30 turns left, and I had NO NAVY! I was going to get BUGGED out of a victory.
Isabella was quickly retooled for ship production and build 1 SOL, and 1 FRIGATE, when a MOW came into range the FRIGATE was sacrificed and the MOW went to the bottom, my SOL retreated to Isabella to heal... quickly discovered that a privateer was a cheaper sacrificial lamb....
2 turns left not enough time for another privateer, but, the last naval battle gives rise to a great general... I removal ALL troops from Isabella (about 30 dragoons/ artys) and pair up the general and the SOL, promote it to Vet 5, and sink the MOW when she comes into my boarders with 1 turn left I WIN....
