1) Here's the save file you requested. I calculated the GB income from ports and came up with the list below. As you can see the difference in income is significant.[X(]

Left# - refers to the left number that GB would get if trading.
Right # - refers to the right number that GB would only get if the province is a conquered state. As you can see this number is pretty big as well.

2) Since you have the file I thought you should check into the Spanish transport fleet sitting off Cadiz. It was kicked out of Cadiz when my victory gave me that province. It has been sitting there for a year? maybe more? I guess it got knocked out the the queue or something.

3) Finally, the French DOW'd Spain about 8 months ago but has been sitting in Lille hoping I'll let them cross. Hasn't moved once. I guess I'm higher on the list since I'm winning? Just guessing. [:D]

See? This is why all those revolts occurred in 1848. It's just the rich trying to get richer. "I noticed as I was swimming through my gold coins here in the treasury room that the pool did not appear as deep as it should be. Perhaps doubling my personal tonnage would make me feel like a better ruler." [:D]

There's a comedian in every group...I wonder who ours could be? [:D]

Okay, I downloaded your file and looked it over. You and the program have one thing in common; you’re both wrong. [;)]

1. You cannot trade with ports that are north of the ice line during the December Economic Phase
2. Britain is only trading with Spain and Austria at this time (even though it wishes to trade with all except France). Russia, Turkey and Prussia are not trading with Britain

$37 is the correct total so the program is off by $24 (it gave $13)

Based on the numbers that I’m seeing, it looks like the program only used the trade values it gained from trade with Free States and other Major Powers and did not factor in Britain’s Conquered Minor Countries.
