Colonial nations not going to war with natives?

[Korashy]

So I'm doing Poland can into Space because I like sitting around doing nothing so I can get used to the new AE (okay sry I couldn't help myself). Anyways I was bored so I decided to form some colonial nations.

Set up 2 in North America (Canada and Eastern Seaboard colonial regions), and my Canadian CN has been kicking ass conquering most of British Canada. I've noticed tho that neither one declares war on the natives (westernized and non westernized), they have claims on a lot of stuff but just sit around and don't attack them. In this game North America was also only colonized from Mexico because all the tribes migrated to the seaboard and completely blocked out the Europeans. England's only CN was Newfoundland (now operated by the polish canadian CN) and even that one only had like 7 colonies.

edit: I even make sure to keep militarist leaders in office as long as I can, but they still don't do anything.

When I last payed Powhatan, the thirteen colonies roflstomped me less than a year in game. No mercy.

I noticed this too. Colonies aren't very militaristic in general unless a core of theirs is taken then they go nuts. I tend to see them protect and ally the natives the vast majority of time. It can get annoying when I'm trying to commit genocide to help my colonies expand.

Almost every native tribe is still alive, and those that aren't were absorbed by another native tribe. It's kind of annoying.
