    Because a tiny nation like UP destroying a terrifying/spectacular France under the sun king is as unrealistic as Somalian pirates defeating the American+NATO navy in the region using their fishing boats and soviet cold war era rocket propelled grenades before the month of April is out.

    And beside that, i don't want to destroy France.

    Also, i think the agent problem did have something to do with being a republic. I triggered a rebellion into constitutional monarchy, and then again into absolute monarchy, ended turn and instantly got 2 rakes, a cardinal and a gentleman.

    It is cool to know that it can be done!

    I have spent most of my time and energy trying to avoid changing government. Usually this means an absolute monarchy from the beginning though.

    It gives you more control over the ministers but some times those 0,1, & 2 star monarchs are a real drag. Wars of Secession are also problematic but if you are not France then they are usually bearable.

    With all the campaigns I have done so far I have tried to maintain the form of government from start to end.

    With this development maybe I will try Brittan as an Absolute monarchy…

    Elections and new ministers are such an incontinence.

    I never had those, they always produce an heir.

    Sadly, considering the society at the time and the above comment about having a pretty nanny, it's very plausible that a woman would take such steps to ensure a good life for herself. High class grooming as it were, once he's old enough not to need a nanny you need another way to keep your hand in the royal purse....

    I'm pretty sure the agent pop ups are random. I've had a whole bunch appear at once, and had 10+ turn dry spells.

    Another way to test is to reload the end-of-turn autosave, and end the turn. Rinse and repeat several times (up to 10 or more). And you'll get different results each time. New agents may pop up, existing agents, generals/admirals and ministers might get traits (good or bad), or die, etc.
