Lol, i admit i'm a bit powermonger, but am i really the ultimate menace in every game i'm in?

I really make loyal ally.
(i edited first post. It was of course me as France, Laxen was England)
Anyway, here's the story. First, we got some not-so-smart player who managed to bankrupt Austria in first year
We had to edit the loans and inflatin out when Bmoores took Austria.
Quite an achievement, that is.
Well, then we started in the setting i posted. I Dowed Austria, i wanted all of Lowlands. Well, how to say it, Austria was completly overrun within two years. Then we started 'peace congress' on ICQ chat, and due to my ultimate kindness of heart, i agreed to get only Holland and Zelland, despite total defeat of Austria.
I started large fleet buildup program, because i saw English colonists leaving to Chesapeake already (England was warring with Scots, too).
In two years, my fleet was larger than English one. Meanwhile, they got already worried about my rightfull claims

, and Spain made an alliance with England.
Then, Savoy(FRA) dowed Milan(ENG,SPA), or something. I jumped in, and used my fleet to transport 35k cavalry to Isles. English fleet and army was busy warring Scots.
Well, then both me and Laxen made mistakes. I should have made peace with Spain or another member of alliance, so i would be at separate war against England. But Laxen was quicker, and signed peace with Britanny, thus i could't utilize my plan. But he though that i'm the leader of waralliance, so before he made peace with Savoy, i almost captured London (to get those maps...), and managed to annihilate his whole 20k army (well, Norfolk unfortunately escaped with few soldiers

)
The peace was made. Whole Europe suspects that new war to bring France down is due in few years...
