New hints ???????????????

Good point. Base farming cannot be adjusted globally however. I find that lowering (halving in fact) the cost of the farming upgrades usually has the desired effect, rather than simply increasing farm income on a per province basis.

Yep. There must be something like 20 ways to make it work. Just a matter of finding the right balance. Don't know if somebody has already made his homework in that field but I would not be surprised if someone already had.

I've only ever worked on the Early era so that's pretty much all I can deliver at present. Making all the changes for the high and late eras as well is a huge amount of work: One day.

Fair enough. I was just hoping that some "cut&paste" of the changes could be made in the High period map. Fascinating how easy things look when you do not have a clue

The Swiss are based and emerge in Tyrolia. Switzerland did not really exist during that time anyway.

Well, there must have been some guys with sticks and cows up there even then.

Tell me about it... I'm on the hunt for something like a Radeon X800 for a reasonable price. So far no luck.

A problem that I have avoided by just enver upgrading a PC but just buying a new one each time. The difference is price is not that huge if you get a good dealer (price for the tower and cooling system basically) and it avoids loads of problems. Space becomes an issue after a while though (I now have an Mac Classiq from 1990, a 160mhz pentium from 1995 for very old games in DOS , a 1GHZ Atlon that still use for MTW and a Pentium IV that I was using for work and RTW but that is now broken - hard drive failure ). Problem is when a graphic card does give up on you. I had to buy the cheapest invidia card that I could find and downgrade the default pilots to be able to play MTW. Should buy a fourth one if I want play MTW2 and/or ETW but the comments I read so far have failed to convince me to splash the cash. Perhaps when the extension for ETW comes out, that usually the moment when the CA games become ok (except for some glitches like all kings dying at 56 when VI came out)

This thread reminds me of another I was involved in some years ago. That one turned into a mod...

At least being technically inept protects me from such risk
