Prussian campaign

[Sir Beane]

European nations just didn't annex other European nations then. And if I remember correctly, the Dutch also conquered Spain as they were "threatening Portugal". Um, okay....

So would you rather have a game where you cannot defeat your enemy and take their provinces? I'm genuinely curious what sort of system you prefer.

Personally I don't mind that I can crush other nations if I want to. After all the entire concept of a game where you can take the world is fairly ahistoric anyway, so why not let you take factions out? All I ask is that it isn't easy to do.

The Dutch could threaten Portugal without taking out Spain. Especially if they had a treaty with Spain. They could both march through Spain and also use a naval invasion to attack Portugal.
