So many hours of my life gone trying to build the 50 city states of the union before declaring independence in Colonization. Such an amazingly fun game, though it encouraged slaughtering the natives so not likely to get much good press in the modern era.
- ekianjo 6y agoIf you played as the French, you actually benefited from working with the natives (additional bonuses) if I remember correctly, which was to mimic the French approach in the New World (also well depicted in the Last of the Mohicans).
- skocznymroczny 6y agoFrench had a lower threat level generation amongst natives (you can encroach into their territories more without generating hostilities). But as far as I remember, when you declared independence, the natives always ally themselves with the royal forces, so it makes sense to get rid of them before (especially if you've been supplying them with horses and muskets).
- ekianjo 6y ago> the natives always ally themselves with the royal forces Did they? I don't remember that part in details anymore (even though I played Colonization again just 4-5 years ago).
- the_lonely_road 6y agoI always played as the Spanish (who gain twice the gold from slaughtering a native village) because in order to fit 50 colonies on the map of the US you had to take up all of the land, and most of it was already occupied by native villages. It was impossible to defend most of the inner villages so the only available option was removal, hence picking the Spanish to gain double gold since I was clearing the land anyway. I never was able to get all 50 cities built in time and still try from time to time.
