CAI has been solid. I managed to ally and get trade from my two land neighbours so I always have a little bit of money coming in. Ports are being blockaded left and right as I got spanked by the French navy in the Channel. I've gone defensive everywhere else to try and build up some navy strength.
France has assassinated two of my Generals!! Bastards are doing a good job against me.
Only one performance issue.
The new XP drivers 191.07, from Nvidia (I have a 8800GTX) do not work with E:TW. I get all sorts of Campaign screen visual issues. I've moved back to the previous ones.
Hmm, why do you let them do that to you? Pre 1.4, I always held a small fleet of sloops handy to raid my enemies' ports. I believe, sloops are still good for that function despite being elevated to the super-sloop status. If France declares war on you, raid their Atlantic ports. No ports - no French navy in the channel.
