Oberon is not only the master of stalling aircraft but is obviously also quite capable of stalling economies.:D

(not that I would be any better in this...:shifty:)

This game needs a reverse of issue state bonds. A public funding of private projects or something.
I have a surplus of state funds with a cooling economy and I'd really love to spend some of them on a factory or 5

I've got the same issue, state capital is doing fine but my private capital always lingers around 600-700 which is a bit of a pain as it prevents me from taking over the ..... taking steps to increase consumer goods.

So back to the drawing board and reading material regarding the economy features in this game.

Still building furniture factories and wineries Hunter? To take over the world you have to do better then throwing furniture at your enemies and then hitting them over the head with a bottle of wine!:D

How about glorious Russian Empire? After all it was us who has defeated that rather short Corporal that terrified the rest of Europe. (I refer to the 2nd post in the thread, writen by Oberon).

And yes, we did play the great game.

It's AI controlled. If you have the game and can regularly (tops 48hours) turn in your turns, you can play the glorious empire of the Russians.
The treaty of the three Emperors only has 2 Emperors at the moment.

I guess I would cheer from the side lines :)

Russia has a similar situation as Austria, you'll spend more time keeping the Empire together than just cheer at sidelines :)

Which is strange, as this is not really historic as far as I remember (in 19th century that is).

I'm waiting for Russia to start antagonising my Afghan border, but so far the Tsar has been quiet...which is just as well since I'm busy getting lost in the Burmese jungles... :dead:

Britain cannot into jungle:

It was a daily routine for every empire back then :03:



Bloody idiot, I was producing 5 times the amount of cotton needed by my textile mills, but I wasn't exporting any :/\\!! And the booze, and the fruit and the cattle :/\\!!
The increased export from Austria should make me some money and destroy the world economy :oops:

I think the Crimean war just started

The United Kingdom find ourselves in a quandry. Whilst on the one hand we feel willing to assist the Ottoman Empire against this unprovoked attack by the savage Russian beast...however on the other hand we do have to remember that it has not even been a year since the Ottoman Empire savagely attacked our friends in Greece.

As such, the United Kingdom is inclined to monitor developments closely.

(that, and I have no idea how the combat in this thing works, and I'd probably just wind up in a war against Russia that I cannot win)
