yeah...i ust realized that in UP...i now am paying out 20k a turn for military....and am only making about 5k a turn now...plus carribean just revolted...

oh that reminds me: theres a great story i have for you guys:

so i just receved a french island in the carribean, i belive the windward islands or something like that. well, i had 2 units of colonial dragons there, and there was a revolt. out of nowhere 5 or 6 units of buccaneers attacked me. i thought i had a good defence, but 1 unit of dragoons was wiped out in a single charge and my other one lost 30 men. i then remounted them and rode them behind fences to fire a volley every minute, which did almost nothing. then i tried waiting for single units to climb over fences and charging them. this ended up losing me about 12 men, and killing over 300. needless to say i routed them and stared fo a few minutes in disbeleif at my computer.
