Playing Spain on VH/VH.

Early in the game I accepted an alliance from the aztecs - they bashed the tlaxcans while I bashed the mayans.

Tried a clever thing and landed one army in florida - yeah, very clever the french showed up with two !!

However they only took one of my settlements and then went north to the far north-eastern rebel settlement while I looked on nervously from miccosukee. Then another Spanish army appeared in florida (sent by the king. not me) and I used it to retake the two french settlements while their armies were walking towards miccosukee. Then strangely they marched right past my settlement and headed for Indian country. Strange, but good as I was in no shape to defend.

Looks like the french really do exist just to give the apacheans rifles ..

The only other thing to report is money - I mean moneeeeeeeeey - its now turn 52ish, I have 28 settlements and there are 5 aztec settlements left so I'm expecting a win before turn 60 - between trade and loot I have 126000 gold and it will continue to rise rapidly.

European TW was never like this !!
