I was playing as United Provinces and had just managed to get up a nice trading empire,while fending off Bavaria,that wanted my provinces. Then Spain decided to attack my trade nodes with a fleet that had 4 galleons in it,and I can't deal with that kind of firepower at this point. Besides pulling out of the trade zone altogether,how do I cope with this? They don't want the trade nodes,they seem content chasing my ships around the zone. Is there a way to cripple Spains economy at the start,so,that they can't build the things in such numbers.as I was enjoying my game,until this happened..
