RTI chapter 3 guide needed!

As you gain more territory, especially towards the South (or so it seemed to me), the native Americans will start disliking you. If you do nothing about it, they will declare war. Check the diplomacy screen, and find the minor powers tab - it took me ages to notice it. A few small diplomatic gifts should soften them up.

Quite what the Inuit did with all the tableware I sent them is another matter entirely.

Forget the Inuit. The Cherokee should be your real concern.

The Natives started declaring on me the first chance they got except the Cherokee. Iroquis when I took Philedelphia, Huron when I killed the Iroquis, and the Inuit came in on their side.

I took 'ole George into Maine and circled into Canada and then south. I actually lost Boston the third turn to a few British troops because I left it garrisoned by 1 Minutemen and 1 Dragoon. But I marched out of Maine to take it back the next turn. It wasn't as bad as when a random Iroquis stack took Philidephia because I thought it was safe. WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T LET THOSE NATIVE TOUCH YOUR CITIES - THEY SELL EVERYTHING. So its best to take the Andrew Jackson approach with the Natives and manifest destiny their butts to Oklahoma.

I can't quite remember which tribe it was, but they declared war on me, even after I'd bribed the rest into liking me. Their villages are to the west of montreal. I figured I'd take the less-diplomatic approach and just wipe them out to stop them from raiding my schools and farms. Learned first hand how hard they are at combat.

Figured with my "skills" I could take on a full stack and a small re-inforcement army with my three-quarter stack of minutemen with artillery and cavalry support, with some skirmishing light infantry. The only survivor was Gen. Washington, four cavalrymen, and a unit of minutemen who legged it at the first signs of trouble and refused to rally.

Here's what I did.
I first took Maine and Boston, keeping at least 3-5 units in each city (otherwise the Brits can pick them off). Oh yeah, at bunker hill I had all my units withdraw, giving me a large army to start with. I later crushed the only British army nearby. Anyways, I moved south, taking settlements like Philladelphia and Maryland. After the Iroquois declared war on me (right after taking Philly) I decided to make friendly with the natives. A state gift to each (and an alliance with Cherokee) kept them happy with me. The Iroquois kept raiding border towns, so I later killed all their armies and raided their towns. Never had another problem. After taking my 8 required territories, I moved north. I took Acadia, Quebec, Montreal, and Newfoundland. I took a few other territories, I just forget what... I think maybe Florida and something else. The RTI Chapter 3 seemed pretty easy, so long as the Indians were happy with me. I also was allied with Dutch, and maintained trade deals with Dutch and French (raking in quite a profit).

*side note* George randomly dissapeared right before I took Newfoundland. I think retired or something. He just dissapeared...

Good Luck,
