So here is a possibility I am pondering to exploit this short burst of love. In around 1857 a diplomatic crisis between Spain and Prussia led to a declaration of war, the war is still on and both view the other as -100 for it. So far no land battles have happened, they just keep attacking merchant f...

Alright so in the same campaign as my "Woes of the French" discussed I'm 2/3rds into 1864 and the weirdest thing just happened in the last few months. My international relations went from: S-P - 100 Alliance England - Low 30's US - Mid 20's Belgium - High 70's Alliance The rest of the great powers -...

Its late 1862 now and after applying the fix my contentment has been fluctuating between 79 and 83 for 15 months. Things are moving ahead, though the Civil War ended after 13 months somehow and Sardinia and Prussia haven't expanded at all.

Thanks, hopefully this will work better, I did have the AI set to the lowest level (I thought it would work better for my first game) but I changed it a few days ago and the foreign markets are a bit more reasonable now

Alright then, I am torn, I face what the vets deem an impossible quandary to escape yet I do not want to cut and run from all I have accomplished. My copy is set to not update automatically so can someone offer a tutorial for editing a contentment boost? Much appreciated, I really do love this game ...

Can I do that with a Steam copy of the game? I've never modded a game before

Ok, middle of 1860 and another economic crisis has hit, darn Japanese, contentment which I had built up to 19 is down to a new low of 14, literally 2 or 3 provinces in all of my national regions are not on strike or rioting, almost every area has a military presence in it but I'm screwed at this poi...

I've already started doing that, all exports have dropped to a trickle, every luxury possible is being sold and contentment has climbed back to 19%, if the war footing thing never happens how does Piedmont unify then? Thanks for the advice, I've got all military police possible and cavalry is the ne...

I am getting a %0.4ish increase each turn, my contentment in the last six months has dropped to %15. I was attacked by Anam again so I hope to take this mistake of theirs to overrun their last two provinces it shouldn't take more than 6 mon. Piedmont is apparently on a war footing yet by late 1859 n...

Thanks, I was in a war with Anam that dragged on for 3 years since I couldn't supply efficiently enough and they are just a small tribal nation. I have only played the F1 cards when needed not as soon as possible and I'm running an import deficit now to try to pump more Luxuries into the market, I a...

Hi, I just started playing the Grand Campaign (1850) a couple weeks ago after doing the American Civil War and Piedmont vs Austria scenarios in full. I'm playing France and have made it to Early Sept 1858, Suez construction has just started last turn (I tech "rushed" it) and my int. relations are wh...
