    I am only trading with I think 3 nations and am at war with almost everyone. I am an economic whore and a conquest whore. I will soon get all of Europe muhahahaha. I am only Allied with Russia as Maratha and maybe I will get military access so I can march an army up to Moscow and then take it lol

    What sort of range do you generally have to pay to buy regions? Im building a South/Central American and Carribean empire as marathas (up to 110k a turn! yay!), but my offers to buy are nearly always rejected when i offer 150-250k. Any advice?
    On another (slightly related) note, does the state gift bonus show up in the 'factors affecting relationship' tab thingy? State gifts affect other factions relationship with me, but the bonus doesn't actually show up.

    The AI doesn't like selling regions for money alone. They would happily trade different regions, though.

    Cool store, bro! I want some ham.
    No ham, pepsi.
    They make deli slices of frozen pepsi now? Awesome!
    You also need to purchase a small freezer for storage of your pepsi.
    It runs on batteries. You'll need a few.
    Uhh, I guess I won't have pepsi then. Do you have change for a twenty?

    As the UP I bought Flanders for 150,000. Just some cash that I had over and was doing nothing.

    That it?

    I had hundreds of thousands on my GB campaign, it's the easiest faction of all time in any TW game, and i was playing on VH/H. The AI is extremely reluctant to go to war with GB, except for France, Spain and the Huron, it seems.

    Just tech up so you can build sugar/coffee/tea/spice warehouses, the largest farms and mines and weavers and smithies, and conquer the small islands off the east coast of America. You don't even need to conquer anything on mainland America or absorb the colonies, you just need to keep Ruperts Land for the two fur traders and the farm.

    Once you have the whole of Britain, Ruperts Land and all the small islands off the east coast of America with every farm and plantation upgraded to max, you will rake in money so fast you literally won't know what to do with it.

    You don't even need to send trade fleets to the trade theatres. I got to around 1740, 2 navies both with 10 3rd rates and various smaller supporting ships, and 3 full stack land armies, and was still pulling 40k a turn.

    I had to quit playing. There was no way i could be challenged anymore. My prestige was at 740, the next highest was less than 300.

    This is most likely intentional: otherwise, you'd have the problem that the leading faction's lead would snowball exponentially and they'd be untouchable -- unless every other faction allied together against them and coordinated to take them down. Not likely, with this AI.
