An older reply, but my computer was down for a while, the king's army does not grow with time. It grows with the tax money you pay everytime you buy, sell, or send treasure.
You pay for the army that destories you!


Thanks for the tips posted, their are some good ones in there.


I have said it before, but my favorit spot is the gulf of mexico. You get a three towns with Ore (if you build to maximise the number of cities on the islands), lots of wood and TONS of fish. With this you can make hundreds of free colonisists to go build towns on the main lands. Also, everyone of my island towns have a population of 15-20 and I have so many dragoons that each town has ten just sitting around.
Also, their are lots of spots inland with silver, ore, wood and anything else you want.
To top it off, their are only 3-5 indain cities there and once they are gone, you never have to have your core colonies be effected by europains or indains!

Top that off with the kings forces hitting mainland costal colonies frist and you know exactly what you have to defend!

When I declared in my last game, they hit one town with every unit they had and lost to that one town. Please note it did not have a fotress completed and was poorily defended compared to the rest of my colonies.

I think I am going to reload that game to just before declaring and go conquer the other powers to control the world. I only got a 59% colonisation rating and I want to see if I can get 100% for once.

Has anyone acturally got 100%, or am I just not playing enough?
