You're chance of getting a cardinal is negatively influenced by your infamy iirc. So we have a self reinforcing effect here.

Indians in latin america are sitting on 1000's of ducats. In my Brabant game I easily extorted 6000-7000 gold from the Aztecs (the only surviving indians in middle americas) before I took their lands. In the south the Inca's were the sole survivors and I alrdy got some heaps of cash from them as well.
Their provinces can be quite good as well especially the gold producing ones. If you can spare the infamy I'd take some provinces each war as well, they're pretty cheap you get 0,8 BB per province only if you use the correct CB. Once the Aztecs were out of money I simply annexed the remaining provinces.
