Actually, I used to really like the Uruguay/Brasil/Argentina area as well, for just the reason you mentioned: a ton of different resources.*  k:* But then I looked at North America a little closer and realized that you can get all the same resources there as well and right in coastal colonies. There's tobacco in Virginia (naturally!), Cotton above that and Sugar in Florida and Cuba. The Appalachians are a decent source of ore, while to the north you've got great food, wood and fur lands.

There's this little spot in the Uruguay/Brasil/Argentina area right where the river starts where you can produce sugar, tobacco and cotton all in one coastal colony. I always build a colony there when I'm playing on the America map. The only problem is you have to import tools every time you wanna build something other than the 'tool-free' buildings. I always make sure there's a tool producing colony nearby, there are enough mountains in that area to get ore from.
