Favorite Campaign or Faction

Yes you really have to open ports and trade nodes to make any money there.

Finances look good now - trading with almost everyone now and even Italy and Switzerland are now protectorates.

I have 3 Armies on the French Border ready to hit and pulverize the French. Also I have 5 Spies blowing away things everywhere in France for the past 7-8 Turns. Conservative estimate - This alone costs the French 2-3000 a turn - enough to keep them from maintaining a front line stack.

On the Ottoman Side - it was a 1500 vs 4500 contest with 3 full Ottoman stacks besieging Belgrade. I attacked them, and due to the reluctance of the Ottomans to come and fight (they stayed behind) I shelled the crap out of their cavalry units. Reinforcing units met the same fate. The Result ??? A close defeat with 4 deaths and 600 Kills.

The next turn 2 armies bypassed Belgrade to pillage the countryside, I attacked and destroyed the third army and the Ottomans accepted peace for 2 turns.
Now the Ottomans are set to lose Athens in a few turns.

Looks like I will win this campaign

of coz the Prussian lah!!! coz they have the best light in the game!and the cheapest militia!but they only good in army....then the British can recruit the cheapest navy especially can recruit the indiamen as battleships,then it makes them take out all trade route and earn all the trade income in the game...

i also love french,the highest morale militia in the game,if you try the fire fight with other line infantry,it wins most of the time.....

Russia!!! they got a lot of steam sawmill!! i use them in numbers or cheating by using jagers most of the time!!!i love the outlook of russian musketeers and jagers and opelchenie....same reason i love Prussian landwelhr's outlook!!!

except i still ain't try the Austria yet until now(coz there is no much light to be recruit it seems....)....and Spain.....i so love to exchange fire with using light and militia.....(not like the line coz they easy to get shot with their close,compact formation,that make those light and militia are the most cost effective units in the game!!!),and it seems the Austria are the hardest in the game coz they will be attack by two front,by Ottoman and France...
