Stockpile more by using boats as storerooms and never moving them, or by
keeping non-military units mounted (just fortify loads of scouts in a city)

The first time I played (on easy in fact) I lost 1/2 my colonies to the
King's forces. Since then, whatever difficulty I played, I never lost more
than one city, usually none. The trick is to know when to attack, and
stockpile horses & guns.

The other thing is to avoid loyalist militia by generating tons of liberty
bells, so your cities have the best possible level of support for the
revolution. Then you get more super-veteran units as well. Make sure you
have many, many units mounted up & armed in your most populous, most
supportive colonies, so you get lots of these 'Colonial Cavalry', and when
they lose a fight just re-mount them.

But all this gets a little OT, don't you think?
