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. [/b][/quote]
I agree with you regarding the area. Then I build colonies away from the coast as they do not come come under attack when you declare independence
. Build wagons, and roads where necessary (rivers work as roads too) both for trade and transporting resources!
Yes I too face the same problem with too many immigrants from England...so the best answer is build more colonies inland
They can be smaller but well defended.
A better way to get Indians' support is to give them money! :w00t:
