=) Yes, and wasn't it Sweden who originally founded Delaware?

<t> I'm now used to the cap system and I would justify it with spoilage and corruption, etc. You just have to think of it as "use it or lose it." It also means you don't have to set alot of provinces to wood or iron because by the time you need it again, the small trickle has built to the maximum ...

<t> I thought it was only a 2 glory loss per turn that they couldn't afford to pay. DOes anything affect that number? Maybe I had different terms. I usually set the % lower, but the term longer so that (as my new allies) they can become powerful and I can reap more benefits in the later part of the ...

ON the same subkect. Playing France in 1792 I managed to have Austria and Prussia sue for peace. I had 5,500 points for each treaty. then I was at war with Spain, and won, and again 5,500^points. Is this a maximum? Because with Spain I had ...

Given the patchwork nature of Europe, a Cossack operating in the middle of a country might still be able to retreat in any direction which the computer would consider "towards home country." Perhaps if the command was more specific, like towards the capital?

<t> The only thing I can think of is the feudal levies that's costing me labor...<br/>
<br/>
Right now I'm trying to save up for roads in Moscow which would cost 96 labor... but in 4 turns I haven't risen above 94.... <br/>
<br/>
I wish there was a way that we could put aside goods for future ...

<t> When I took some provinces from Austria as Turkey... I noticed these provinces had trade routes still... So did it mean that I was now trading? Or how do you tell if a trade route is broken.<br/>
<br/>
I think if I get provinces in a peace treaty, all the trade routes in those provinces should ...

IMHO, colonies should be worth a little more cash, a bit of NML, and a bit of glory - every month (and then the AI should value them more in treaties). Do others agree that this is a balance issue and should be addressed?

<t> On a related note... when you get free units, either from this militia thing that was mentioned or from feudalism, do they take labor, food, iron, etc,... I was saving up for something and I noticed my labor went down... could that be what causeed it?<br/>

(Sorry for this off topic ...

<t> Here's my guess:<br/>
<br/>
It became independent. But Spain had troops there and since there was no garrison, Spain conquered it immediately.<br/>
<br/>
Let me recount why I made that assumption. I was Sweden, at War with Denmark and Russia. Russia Surrendered and as part of the peace, I ...

<r> Thank you all for your replies... though my head may be spinning a bit more now.<br/>
<br/>
I didn't want to use the Liberate Province button, because I was afraid it would make it totally independent and I would have to re-subsidize it to become a protectorate. But I will try that in my ...

That seems like what could have happened, it happened to me... I never even knew I was at war with them.

<t> It might make a difference in some cases, but I might be mistaken because the attitude thing at the bottom is not always updated correctly. But suffice to say, when I wanted to form alliance as Russia - I put Turkey with Russia, they weren't interested. Then I put Russia with Turkey and they ...

<t> Hi all,<br/>
<br/>
I appreciate any help you can give me with the following situation:<br/>
<br/>
I'm Russia and have formed a protectorate with Poland (it's huge - and a great victory). Their provinces are with the striped lines and I'm not able to develop them. Exactly as I expected as a ...

<t> Thanks Uncle Joe...<br/>
<br/>
Here's a follow up question, that maybe I should make a new thread for first...<br/>
<br/>
Having played the game, and read the manual (well skimmed...) ... I've found that I can get colonies through treaties also, but they don't seem to change my colonial ...

<r> I enjoyed that AAR, however, since I'm sympathetic to the French... I didn't throughly enjoy seeing them trashed <E>:)</E><br/>
<br/>
One thing that concerned me was how easy it seemed for you to build up a huge colonial empire with a relatively small Navy? Why were countries so willing to ...

Thank you JP and Marc. I can't wait!
