About founding fathers in Colonization

Founding Fathers join your Continental Congress one at a time, recruited with liberty bells generated by statesmen in your colonies. Each grants a permanent, empire-wide benefit. You choose which Father to court next from one candidate per category.

Strategy — Sequence is strategy: traders grab Adam Smith and Stuyvesant early, warmongers save bells for Washington and Revere before declaring independence.
