I want to do a campaign as a native and wonder what the best way to go about it is. Everyone says to go caddo and cheese Aztec, go Aztec, or go Cuzco. I’m teetering on the edge of Cusco Iroquois, and Aztec. Should I take exploration/expansion for maximum colonists to expand, should I be going hyper military groups for the inevitable European conquests? What’s the beginning of the game generally like?

Conquer those around you and then colonize to get to the other area. You want to conquer inca and aztec areas before the colonizers do it.
Reform so you can use a colonizer to upgrade to a modern nation. Then colonize to stop the colonizers to get too strong.

migrate south as OPM, multiple province native is lot harder to do.
conquer mexico. flip Nahuatl by event after conquering the Nahuatl temple provinces.
develop mexican or inca gold and do NOT tech up admin or dip tech (well admin to 5 for first idea group)
Reform religion. Await colonizers while taking exploration. Discover south american natives and go ham in Inca region.
When colonizers arrive, reform government at ideally a colonizer (milà tech of anything that id dividable by 4, as you get 80% of their tech. So at colonizer tech 12 you would get at least tech 9.
then you can either build big navy or merc army to repel colonizers, depending on playstyle. The gold will pay for it.
Colonizer nations dont necessarily join their colonies' wars anymore, so once you are decently strong, declare war on colonies themselves.
I ended up changing to protestant (cathloic is terrible, because the pope is mad at you for "stealing" your land constantly) and accept english culture, so I could just farm the colonial nations in NA. Just declare on them every decade or so, take most of their lands, but give them some space to colonize further. That way you basicly get 5 free colonists. Their armies are tiny and it gives tiny amounts of AE.(Not sure if this is the best way of doing this, but it worked pretty well
