Hi, as I have said somewhere else, I'm not used to this period.

I know that Britain was really waging war with it's treasury during that time. But it seems it's pretty easy to get REALLY good trades with britain once your in war with the french...

ie: I have about 75 GC a turn in trade from Britain because it accepted 1 horse for 28 GC, 1 horse for 13 gc...

Now, is this in the game so Britain will help support it's allies?
(Yeah, I have a big 300K soldier army protection berlin whit 150K russian while 360K french troops are waiting on the other side of the river to squash me). This situation (staring at one another) is only possible because I have all this money coming in from Englang (and many other REAL trade with other nation + some monetary help I ask once in a while from Russia). Now, since I am doing the biggest part of stalling the french I understand that my allies should finance me, espescially since I'd be gone for a long time if it wasn't for there money.

Thus I wanted to say 2 things:
1-Should Britain be so generous?
2-I wouldn't want the feature taken out of the game if it shouldn't be like that (because it's a way to force Britain to be generous to the player, and we all know AI can be dumb). But I'd like to know if 75 money a turn is too much...


Thanks

This may be a side-effect of raising the stockpile limits for money: with larger stockpiles, the AI comes to value money less and less the more it has.  I'll have to put a firmer cap on the minimum valuation of a commodity.  I'm surprised nobody saw this before.

I have a couple of save where this happens... I doubt you'll have difficulty recreating it tough...


The ''expert'' tells you this will not be accepted... but somehow it always seems to be accepted

But Britain historically send loads of money to Austria, for example to keep them fighting. Please do not completely remove that. When playing Austria those funds came in handy.

Same for me, in any game Britain gives 20-100 gold a turn to each of its allies ! [X(] They were not that rich historically ...

2-I wouldn't want the feature taken out of the game if it shouldn't be like that (because it's a way to force Britain to be generous to the player, and we all know AI can be dumb). But I'd like to know if 75 money a turn is too much...

I said the same thing, I don't really want the feature taken out of the game... But you'll find I believe that Britain already gives load of money if your fighting the french... You got to ask them every one in a while tough...
