So I decided to play as the Apache in the Americas campaign ... I pretty much overran all of the top part of the map (central USA ) and I was doing fine .... until my wiseman died ... and lo and behold, he was the only one with enough "piety" to call "warpaths"
I expanded east until I ran into the French ... and while I was preparing a sneak attack blitz on them (I literally had a spy or 2 in each of their cities) I notice that they start landing more fleets meaning more troops out of no where!
so ultimately, I decided NOT to attack and played "politics" .. I made an alliance with them and got trade rights ... I was hoping they'd fight the Spanish or something but noooooo ... of course not
I I attacked on of the Indian tribes towards the south ... they were bordering me and my relations weren't so great because my other allies had beef with them ... I quickly took two of their cities and they offered ceasefire lol ... and then I noticed that I was bordering the Spanish so I decided to attack them ... they were at war with the Aztecs who are my allies so I thought I'd get some support from there ... I took 2 of their cities so far and successfully defended one against a siege ...the trick to beating them is to swarm them ... I'd recommend not attacking unless you have a significant numbers advantage ... and try to take them in siege battles and not in the open ....
