    Playing as France I was concentrating on the Americas and had not taken anything at all in Europe or India.

    Around 1720 I had a pop up from Mughal empire,after reading and rereading it to double check I accepted it before they realised what they had done ;)

    Basically they offered me Hindustan I think it is,the place where you recruit Ghoorkas or Ghurkas however they spell it , in return for 2 agriculture techs and 4000 gold.

    Certainly seems as though diplomactic deals are more varied than before even though some are still mad like offering trade rights and if you refuse the price just keeps going up and up as if thats going to make you change your mind ;)

    As Russia the UK keeps trying to trade me Jamaica for Astrakhan....very odd indeed.

    I continued a GB campaign and saw that Prussia, Westfalia, or one of the other blue-colored German states had somehow acquired Tunisia from the Barbary Pirates.

    Playing as the Marathas I swapped the southern bit of mainland India for Maine from the 13 colonies. It might prove to be interesting.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    I think they MAY have gone a little overboard in correcting the value the AI puts on military access.

    As Russia, I continuously get offers form the Ottomans and Swedes along the lines of, "Hey, give us infinite military access and 10,000 gold and we'll give you five turns of military access! Good deal, huh?"

    It's a little insulting, really :\

    Rest assured that that was not trade.

    That is their capital region and it has to be captured.

    I have seen Savoy take it, France take it, GB take it, even the Knights of St. John, but if someone else took it and traded it away I would be a bit surprised...
