Natives

[Polemists]

yes...it is a great time to pillage the natives of various lands for all they are worth


I assume the same old exerterminate, enslave, occupy is back when you capture a native town. Though I could be wrong.

CA might be being careful about 'enslave' given the connotations with the slave trade that they are already trying hard to avoid.

I intend to peacefully occupy as many settlements as possible. My Empire shall be one of peace and tolerance. (For the five minutes it takes for mass rebellion. Then it will be swift and brutal crushing)

[Polemists]

Don't worry Beanie your brutal crushing of the locals will be nothing compared to what will occur to your empire if there is no DEMO tommorrow


I think they do have to be careful but it's also kind of hard to go, "Oh right, historic game, 18th century had no slaves, none at all."

Of course we'll find out the truth...

when we have

a demo........

I want to see the most numerous and powerful tribes in southern North America, playable or not!

At least two or three of the so called 5 Civilized tribes should be there, French or no French!

The Choctaw, Creek, and Cherokee should really have lands in this game. Leaving them out is hard to justify. The Chickasaw were a small but influential tribe ( they fought so much they couldn’t keep any large numbers) but their position could be combined with the Choctaw. The Seminole didn’t really exist as a tribe at the time, they were mostly Creek refugees mixed with other tribes and runaway slaves in Florida in the 19th century.

If CA thinks the Indians were hostile in the 18th century, just wait and see how hostile it gets if they leave them out!!!

A native faction would be extremely interesting to play as. It could be a fun mimi-campaign trying to drive the European settlers out of North America, and then keep them out.

I wonder just how far up the tech tree it's possible to go as the Native American tribes? If they can get large sailing ships it will be both historically innacurate and wonderful.

Privateers! Capture!

Hay they built 60 foot canoes that is enough to surprise a ship at anchor. And do I remember something about capturing ships in port with a town under blockade?
