Let's start with the obvious. This NEEDS a tutorial, I spent hours just trying to figure out the the basics of playing (getting lumber etc). Next, TAXATION. I tried... I really did. I never made it past the 16th-century without being forced to declare independence by ridiculous tax increases. It's like Gandhi from Civ on steroids, and there's NO WAY to turn it off. Even at the EASIEST level, you WILL get taxed into oblivion or forced to try for independence about 2 centuries too early (seriously, did any of you guys go to history class?). As an example, in the last game I will ever play of this, I hadn't sold anything to Europe, just went back and picked up immigrants. By 1590, my tax rate was 32% and I couldn't trade furs, coats, tools or weapons. Couldn't get the customs house either, since that's tied to a founding father I didn't have yet. This thing was just pure frustration. I think the only enjoyable thing about it will be ripping it out of my system.
