Yeah. The dependence of early colonists on buildings, clearings, and species created by the Native Americans is greatly underestimated. In the Sims universe we have a North America without maize in its useful form, without empty buildings and already cleared fields for the Pilgrims to take over, and without friendly people to adopt the survivors of failed colonies like Roanoke.
