Well, once the excitement wears off i'll write an AAR, but this is one of the best GC's i have been in so far. Full tech levels by 1711, 1000 ducats monthly, 3000 yearly, all of christian europe, excluding scandinavia, orthodox, and muslim provinces under the rule of the hapsburgs, with a few provinces that cannot be annexed due to gold sheilds, full diplo relations with everyone major, cept turks (Being able to afford 250 ducat gifts every month lets people forget that i have a badboy in the couple hundreds) Less revolts than you would expect, and almost 25 manufacturies that now cost 5000 a pop. I like doing the occasional military campaign into turkey and destroying their economy, although those darn muslims can't be tolerated at all, hence no annexation. Maybe, 10 shipyards, ALL DONE WITHOUT CHEATING!!!!! VP about 3700 for some reason, kinda confusing to me why they are so low. The starting gold mine is the savior of the austrians.
