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'....

Portugal) Kernaegh (England, Potrugal, France, Holland) Astenidas (Sweden, Holland) Swority (England, Spain, France, Portugal) Cauyorthyr (England, Spain) Rhon (all OK, Holland is worst) Cordigh (Holland, Spain, Sweden) Egininerk (England, Holland, France, Portugal) Allormonawys ( All Okay, Holland and Portugal are worst) 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.
