Ahh.. I just got attacked by the natives on my island, I was being nice and setting up missions, trading at their prices, buying land when they demanded it and they still attacked. Wiped out my settlement that had my vet soldier (he was a farmer at the time) and his guns and horses. Now I only have one hastily assembled dragoon in my capital with 4 colonies to protect.
I think I might have to start again!
Also does anyone know if there is a real americas map you can play on? I know there's a carribean one but I'd love to play using the old map.
