I have a couple of questions which have arisen during my VH/H Austria campaign, I was wondering if anyone knows the answer:
Is there any equivalent of sacking income anymore when you conquer a province? As far as I can tell there isn't, which means it will take a lot longer for conquering territory to provide a return on the investment, especially if the province needs to be kept tax-exempt to maintain order. As a corollary, do raiding towns and shipping lanes actually provide you with income as the advisor suggests, or is the value of this purely in denying funds to your enemies?
Secondly, I have recently captured Warsaw from Poland-Lithuania, but it is seething with unrest and strikes and I fear a revolt is imminent. If I deliberately allow the revolt to occur sooner rather than later, and crush the rebels, will the unrest in the province be dampened, or will my harsh tactics only incense the populous further?
Either way, it seems like taking and consolidating territory in this game is going to be a lot harder than in previous installments, which I suppose is as it should be.
