Thats a good point(both of you).
I hadnt thought of it so much as micormanaging.
Thanks for that.
Yeah you are probably right about the industrial revolution thing. I never really understood why they always make the end of the campaign so soon. They did the same thing in Medieval, you get a shot at the Americas, and then the campaign ends like 20 or 30 turns later.
I wish they just let the campaign continue for maybe an extra 20 or 30 years.
If they expand the campaign up to 1850 for example, there are many new things that they could integrate into the game. Manifest Destiny for the 13 colonies comes to mind, and Industrialization is another huge thing.
