LOL.... yep, I think the lack of resources can ruin it too. I've dumped
tin-less games too (at least give me one!!!). I can't build my initial army
without bronze (tin) and if no-one will sell you any you are going to be
dead meat. (no Bronze means no Lancers, no horse artillery, no forts, no
musketeers and no galleon) Having Horses is very important too.

Here is a list of 'keyword' generated maps that should give you decent
starting resources. Enter the keyword in the 'Globe room'....

Those Injun horse Calvery are nasty...... they don't show up until after
someone gets Horse Artillery (usually after 2 or 3 get it but Horse
Artillery is the trigger). You can beat that Injun Calvery with a few horse
Artillery and Musketeers (on Manual Combat mode) by grouping your guys as
far back on the map as you can, cannons encircled by musketeers then let the
Injuns come to you. Same thing when someone built them a fort, blow a hole
in the middle of the fort wall (there is a spot a cannon can reach) and the
Injuns will come out after you one at a time.
