I'm in my second GC as England (England, always) and two random drops to (-3) Stability while annexing Scotland and then converting to Protestantism has made 1492-1560 extremely unpleasant.
Naturally, I bump my stability slider way up, save a little room for naval tech and infrastructure. At the end of this birth process, England is nicely unified, (+2), and well on the way to Santal and Illinois when the cash slider becomes cement gray and locked. This fixed slider allows next to no room for juggling the other sliders.
I have taken infrequent loans and paid them off directly. What cash I can accumulate has gone to promoting bailiff's in my five most populous provinces.
I have not seen this problem of the locked slider mentioned in the forum. It happened in my first GC, but later went away. I don't mind operating under a monthly deficit to save for infrastructure improvements, but as it stands now (after trying to bankrupt the inflation in half with five defaulted loans) I have inflation of 134% and a treasury slider locked all the way to the right. No other sliders can be moved. Before my bankruptcy idea, inflation stood at 97%.
How do I get out of this? I have a real nice jump on Southeast Asia in this GC and it's a shame to be told that I can't advance to 'mayors' until the 1830's. Any advice out there? Thanks.
