[quote=@Rhymer] I'm the natives. And the Europeans didn't just 'power' through the natives. Sure they fought constantly, but they also allied in some situations for a time. If you just want to power game the shit out of this then I don't want anything to do with it. [/quote] To be fair, the Europeans did somewhat power through the natives at points. Accidentally, because the guy with smallpox resistance always seems to come out on top. I'd just say something about some sort of earlier exchange between Not-Europe and Not-America that introduced Not-European diseases, which Native Not-Americans now have resistances too. Of course, at this point, the technological gap is insane. I mean, the Not-Europeans have mechs. And at that point in societal and technological development, they're going to be far more hostile. I'd assume that a prevailing attitude in Not-Europe is "We rule, foreigners drool." and by that, I mean "We are the superior race, all others must submit to us and be taught our ways." You know, like the real part of the 1800's where Europe called dibs on the entirety of Africa. So we really need some kind of way to make you more powerful. Maybe the Matwe threw some imported weapons together to make an anti-armor one for their own forces?
