After taking Canada, the northern theatre cannot be stripped of troops because most units are rebuilding and the game's Iroquois Confederacy fields substantial cavalry and artillery. Albany lacks fortifications, so a military-governor building and settlement defenses take priority before local capacity turns to warship production. Part of the navy then moves south while another army begins to assemble. Conquest creates garrison, infrastructure, and regeneration demands that compete with new offensives.
