Worse yet, underdevelopment leaves me with a very low manpower and force limit (Quantity was my first military idea), coupled with a moderate economy means the French outnumber me two to one while I struggle to pay for replacements (thus, a war of attrition works in their favor, not mine). Even if I outnumber them 3 to 2, they easily win. Even with the same military tech level, they have morale, tactical, and discipline bonuses that shred my forces to dust. Surprisingly, neither the Spanish nor the British have been challenging, but the French have been like an army of the dead: unstoppable. The brutal part, however, is holding off the Europeans even with the (essential) reformation bonus in tech. I was feeling pretty good about myself at the time! At my best, after 100 years (~1550s) I was able to beat my contemporaries, reform the religion, and create the Maya holding all of Central America. I tried my hand at creating the Mayan Empire in a series of iron man games (starting as Xiu).
