Hello to all! I have a few questions about my new addiction.

1. Do computer controlled countries ever give the player diplomatic gifts?

2. How do I reduce inflation without mayors or governors? I noticed that if I make the montly inflow to the treasury negative, I can stop it from increasing.

3. I am playing a GC now and there are no victory points under my coat of arms are on the victory screen when I press F1. Every major country is at zero.

4. How do I set up a computer only game? I saw the instructions before but I could not find it using the search function.
 
Hello Hussar,

1. I don't think they ever give presents to you. They didn't to me anyway (I played always a major country, perhaps to smaller player-controlled countries?)

2. Decreasing inflation is only possible if you install governors otherwise not.

3. That's because you didn't turn them on when you started the game.

4. I don't know, I'm not interested in this either.

Besides governors, the only thing that will reduce your inflation is the random 'deflation event'. This reduces your inflation by 30% (or something like that). If you had say 5% in inflation you will now have -25%! But that only lasts until the end of the year, then the inflation is restored to 0%. (however, until the end of the year recruiting troops, building improvements etc will be much, much cheaper than usual!)

A good 'hands off' game is choosing Japan (computer-controlled Japan is als not active, especially after the 'closing'), starting the game, doing the columbus cheat and keep watching....
 
Thanks for all the answers. Now, a few more questions.

1. I keep hearing a few seconds of music that I think is supposed to be a harpsichord but I do not see any events in the log. What is happening that I can not see?

2. Does the game set landlocked powers naval research to 0?
