    Thumbs up Re: How far have you come?

    Knights of St John, with my capital at Iceland. Small and exceedingly wealty seafaring and trading empire, with an absolute monarch.

    It's 1805. I own:

    Europe - Iceland
    Americas - Newfoundland
    Americas - Acadia
    Americas - Labrador? The Inuit home region.
    Americas - Rupert's Land
    India - Satara, formerly the capital of the Maratha Confederacy
    India - the region directly above Satara

    Allies: Portugal, Mughal Empire, Hannover, Huron Confederacy, Plains Nations.
    Trading Partners: Portugal, Mughal Empire, Hannover, Ottoman Empire, Sweden, Thirteen Colonies, New Spain, France.
    At War: Pirates, Louisiana.

    I have roughly 9 slots in the trade theatres, and have 8 trade routes from Iceland (with 2 ports) that are bringing in most of my income, about 25,000 per turn. Taxes bring in another 10,000, and then there's the 3,000 extra "other" income. I have 1 professional army keeping the peace in India until I train an Indian army to garrison the area once Satara settles down. I also have 1 full-stack military navy patrolling the seas of the world, as well as several large trading fleets. I'm making a profit of 18,000 a turn.

    Since I took Satara (my only settlement with more than 1 building slot), I was able to devote my universities to the more advanced military technologies, and finally got rifemen just before 1800. The world map is kind of weird. Most major powers have no colonies (this is my monopoly, woot!), and the major powers are actually unexpected powers.

    I'm scared to research those technologies that increase the demand for reform, as I love the sheer power of being an absolute monarch. Thus, I will ignore those technologies.
