The micro management to really get them most out of your provinces in the late game is lost on be. I'll usually just que up a bunch of military untis and a couple of building s and let them run for a while.

I've never gone for the full 100% domination victory, but after a while you start to think - whats the point? I can just keep pouring more and more troops into the target province, and auto calc my way to victory. God knows I cant be bothered fibghting every individual battle personally.

My Volga-Bulga high era campaign is approaching that point at present. I've taken Britain, Scandanavia, and all of estern europe from Pomerania and Prussia along to Lithuania and down through Kiev, Moldavia and Bulgaria and everything east of that down to Georgia.

I am slowly eating into French territory in heartland europe likie red acid as well, taking Normandy and Flanders. decades of war with the French have seen their provinces diminish and fall into Volga Bulgarian hands, but each battle is difficult, as is maintaining relaible sea connections.

Trade is near to non existant at present, due to the need to keep my navy concentrated. France remains a major force though, probably the other single biggest faction. I'm confident of my ability to eventually huble the French and dominate europe, but it will be a timely exercise.
