Ahh..ok, reading about "Dragoons" and their aid in garrisoning must be faction specific.

I have a medium sized fleet ready to go protect the Indiamen so hopefully pirate activity will be lessened...or rather their impact on me.

Hmmm…I'm considering just promoting a Revolution to Republic status as fast as I can. Everyone already hates me so that won’t change but at least I’ll get the public order and research boosts from Republican status!

I’ll look tonight and see what I can do. If things are teetering on the edge I’ll empty my Capital and join the revolutionaries….way to change history huh? Revolution nearly 100 years early.

Have worked out why Flanders is such a pain…it’s a religion thing.
