col1player: ...All-Food-All-Dragoons Strategy...
muttly13: Explain!
Eh? The screenshot is pretty self-explanatory, but here I go:
- Viceroy, any nation
- do not sell anything to anyone
- only produce food and bells
- make some money by scouting
- make serious money by razing
Basically ask yourself "how can I minimize my manual workload each turn?", rinse, repeat.
What follows from the above:
- only create colonies where they have a minimum of 2 squares of Plains
- train statesmen/soldiers/pioneers in Europe
- no colleges, no universities
- schoolhouses everywhere, because farmers
- buy/breed horses
- buy muskets
It turns out that when you cut away that wagon train cruft, or stop moving some master distiller to another continent, you can really grow to huge population and service each new round real quick.
