I was wondering about other player's experiences with trying to change their government.

My experience was with Spain, I built a bunch of colleges in the Spain province, Salamanca, Barcelona, Seville, Andorra (when it grew).

I had a revolt when the Upper class got angry and I sided with the rebels to kick out the Hapsburg king.
But I did forget to check the government type with the revolt. I assumed it was still a monarchy

It was not my ultimate goal so I raised taxes and changed ministers and then got a revolution! Both classes were angry and I made Spain a Republic. I sided against the establishment.


From what I did, I assume that only making the lower class angry might yield a constitutional monarchy, but I've got to test it.

I will edit and post later with pictures, i did not have fraps running and had trouble with Steam needing to have a live connection

Has anyone tried doing something similar?
