I'm playing this game on the large Carolina map. I'm the British and the enemy is The Ottomans. In this picture I've built lines of fortifications parallel to the trade route down to the second trading post site and have walls from there to the coast and to the edge of the map. This had the unintended side-effect of corralling enemy settlers down that choke point that was created from those fortifications, where on the other side of those walls I have my army shooting them up! They're so stupid!

You have to micromanage settlers to the point where the game is almost unplayable. I got it from Amazon used for $3, and I feel ripped off.

Is it that bad? At least it can't beat me buying SimCity Societies for like $10...

Agreed. The AI isn't made to win, it's made to be challenging. Although sometimes it really just needs to take a short bus to school. :)
