When you get a stockade, you can't reduce the number of colonist in a colony under 3. This rule always been there.

I checked some of the founding fathers;
Paul Revere is the man who lets the colonists to take up arms. Drake is the one who strengthens privateers. John Paul Jones (or something like that) is the one who gives you a free frigate. (I don't think this guy is helpful later in the game, because you can use your liberty bells for something much more necessary.) About the bug(!) i mentioned; normally a unit of soldiers needs 50 muskets. For example, when i have any number of muskets below 50, it can even be 1, any civilian in the colony takes arms when attacked and they seem as soldiers in the combat display. It could be made intentionally just to show the basic aspects of militiamen, people going to war with all they have, even if they don't have enough  But it has nothing to do with fortifications as much as I experienced so far.And yes, population of a colony which has stockade can't be dropped below three nor it can't be abandoned. |

Paul Revere it is. For most actions you do need the proper FF.

And the Militia Bug of one musket, fight with a real force of 2?
Paul Jones is good when you need a few more turns of raising armies. The frigate wouldnt hurt and can be more usefull that a late Hernan Cortez to yoiur game.

Fortifications are important for defence not for attacking!

If my memory serves me right the other nations could get peaceful independence but you couldn't no matter what.

fortifications are good for attacking they give you the control of a water passage.
