Hmpphh, every time I head east as France in the GC I end up being overzealous with the 'annex' button and all of a sudden I´m the proud owner of some yodeling lederhosen province (Cologne, Helvetia,Kleves,Baden,ya get the picture). This has naturally driven my badboy value way up and now my diplomats can't pass wind in quiet without starting premature WW1 in Europe.
*sigh*
How can I lower my badboy so i can concentrate on the New World, instead of fighting the rest of Europe every three months or so? I realized that my newly conquered German provinces wouldn´t be all smiles and sunshine when the French rolled in, but this is ridiculous. Is it just a question of buying every monarch a new coat of arms, or does it take something else to placate Europe?
But damnit, those German mini states are just too tempting, as they sit there all by themselves. Is there a more cost effective way to bring them the fruits of the French empire, short of sending thousands of soldiers to brutally annex them into it?
