Yes, the best idea in that case is just to send wave after wave of colonists and keep loading them up with troops. Natives generally have piss-poor tech levels so unless you have been utterly neglecting your land tech you should be able to take care of them with numerical superiority fairly well. 
You might want to refrain from attacking the indian native settlements.

I believe, although I could be wrong, that AAR stands for "After-Action Report", but mostly it is excuse for the more literary-minded of us to exercise our egos and imaginations while we play (read "learn") this game. These can range from simple summaries of games being played to full-blown novellas that seemingly have nothing to do with EU1, or any other game in the Paradox box.metalfoot said:
I started mine to become world-famous and make lots of money. :rofl:
I chose Sweden because the game originates from there. Figured it would be a good idea to kiss up to the big dogs so they would notice me and make me rich.
Plus, at the time I started it, there were not too many AAR's on Sweden, if I remember correctly. That has changed I think.
Now I'm not unique.Which reminds me. Do you know how to catch a unique rabbit? <pause> You 'neak up on it.
As for you being crappy at the game, well don't feel all left out and alone in the world, partner. Yours truly ain't no kind of super-gamer neither.
You have found the "feature-list" for this game I hope. (Some call 'em "cheat codes". How crass!) It helps when you are trying to figure the game out. Don't try to win the first few times out. Play around, see how things work and interact. Read the forums (a lot). Ask questions (you're already doing that). You'll have to get better after all that. Right? Right?!
Well, if you aren't old and worn-out like me you stand a chance of getting better.
I´ve played the game for... perhaps 5 years? And I still haven´t got the courage to take it up to 'normal' setting...

Thanks for the suggestions. I started a new tutorial game (because I had really screwed things up royally in the first one) and now I am conquering mightily. I'm not sure the best strategy is to destroy all the natives in each of the conquered territories, but it sure is more peaceful in the long term.
Well, if you leave the natives alive (if they aren't uberwarlike, then they'll keep rising up), when your colony becomes a city those natives join the population, which is very helpful for creating strong bases.
