Venezuela??? 
Poor Rufus, his rebellion was not that successful when Irish came and killed 'em all.

All that and the WS was still 0%?
Nice to see that you finally managed to kick the British butt around a bit.
How many units did they have running around mainland England/Scotland compared to you?

Enewald: Venezuela broke away from Britain as an OPM in the Carribean; they’re very unimportant so I didn’t mind the relations hit. And hopefully Rufus just went into hiding.
Azugal: Actually, the war score was at 4% and what I received was 14%. It makes you wonder why France didn't take something in previous altercations.
From what I could see, they had enough to push me back if they consolidated them, but they didn’t. Instead, I went around picking them off whenever I saw a good fight, or if I found one I didn’t want to be involved in. It all turned out well in the end. Now the British have to fight off the French and then, will have to protect whatever they have left over in the Americas, from rebels.

Rebellions aren’t what they used to be.
While nobles caused trouble at home.
And politicians continued to cost me. I’d hate to see the price tag for a rich nation.
On 1 December 1791 Muscovy DoW’d Crimea, which I went along with. I have to make money somehow. Muscovy*, Sweden, Hungary and Ireland v. Crimea*, Nogai, Bahmanids and Delhi.
See? I told you I’d help.
Although events like these both helped and hurt the cause.
By the start of 1793 Crimea isn’t having such a great time. Poltava fell about a month and a half later unfortunately, I lost Kiev although I don’t remember how.
In April Hungary had occupied Zap and besieged the Crimean capital while I resigned myself to rest in Kaffa where I defeated a 33 regiment Crimean army. At this point Crimea had recovered Poltava.
During this war, the French and Britain finally settled upon a white peace again, despite France occupying all of Britan’s New World possessions. A few months later I financed a raid against pirates which yielded me a free pirate head. You don’t mess with the Irish.
By the start of the year Hungary settled a separate peace with Crimea, taking 127, just after I left Kaffa to move into Crimea’s capital.
At the end of May, Muscovy did a France and made a peace behind my back, ending the war. Muscovy took Ryazan and 37.
Later in 1795 the colonies kept me busy...
...especially since Britain couldn’t maintain her American rebels and they began climbing into my land.
Later in 1798 I established a new colony in Chickasaw and another election came. It seems becoming a political candidate is the best get rich quick scheme in the world. He was one of the better leaders I’ve had but was he worth almost 150 ducats? No. Admin 9 Mil 9 Dip 9
As the last year went on more Founding Fathers popped up and the United States of America broke from Britain. By 23 December 1799 their borders were established. I was hoping, since rebels were still around, that even more US provinces would inherit former British colonies.

Ah, was just going off the screenshots which showed nothing other than 0%...
What would that be, the United 2 States of America? And even that might be stretching it a bit. James Jefferson and Rufus Clinton did give me a bit of a chuckle though.

Ha, I rofl at the founding fathers and show my surprise at the evil colonial events of MMP!
Britain is down, Ireland Pulled a France (in an improved version) on France and USA formed!
You should destroy the Americans while they are weak

The United States may well grow in the coming years; hard to say.
The elections cost you 0.08 of your yearly income, or roughly one month's minting. Even if you hold elections every 4 years, that's only 2% of your income going to elections. I'll probably reduce it or replace it with possible election outcomes in MMP2.
Thank you.

Just out of interest, what's the calculation for the extra price tag on picking an admin candidate?

4 & 3/4, actually. Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, Delaware, half of Maryland, and that tiny detached chunk of Virginia that seems to be there by accident.
Also, nice to see an event sequence based on the Boston Massacre; that was certainly an interesting surprise
I may actually have to check out MMP one of these days.EDIT: Surprised the Creek are still around...
That would be a bug - it shouldn't be there. The reason it's gone unnoticed so long is because it only triggers if you have a monthly income of higher than 300 ducats, which very few players will reach.
I see from re-reading the file, though, that the price per election is actually 0.04, or two weeks of minting per election, or roughly 1% of your income if you have the most advanced form of republic, less if you have the "for life" varieties available in the beginning.
Regarding the lack of warnings on running out of ducats...
How many merchants do you have out? Do you have them on autosend?
If you have a lot, I've noticed this:
You have plenty of cash, but then it autosends merchants out to the point where you won't run out, but it can't send any more because then you will go bankrupt. But then the AI sends out another wave of merchants, and kicks some of your merchants out, dropping your monthly loss just enough so that you run out in november or december. Is that when you usually run out of ducats?
Other than that... having merchants on autosend while not maintaining a 4-5 merchant pool usually means you need to calculate how much (roughly) merchants cost and multiply that by how many merchants you get a year. If you aren't making more than that in profit every year, you'll always be right on the edge.

Azugal: I debated putting in the last war score but I looked on how many pictures I was planning to put up and decided against it. I don’t use photobucket anymore because I always had to create new accounts (now that I crop my pictures I could go back to pb...) however with this other site I load them up one at a time. The upload doesn’t take a lot of time but I consider each picture I put up and if I want to go through another three or four clicks.
Well, you’ve got the state of Massachusetts, Connecticut, Delaware and of course, Unami. The US is still trying to capture more territory so we’ll see how that works out.
Enewald: Apparently “Rufus” was the most popular boys name of the 1760's
Kami: I think Ireland had a right to pull a France after how often France has let Ireland down. It could even be argued, quite easily I believe, that Ireland’s peace out was less offensive than France’s because Ireland didn’t start the war and Ireland was able to weaken France’s enemy while in France’s other wars with GB, France did almost nothing and took away Ireland’s gains.
I thought about taking on the Americans but I always have a soft spot whenever they pop up. Plus, the more rebellious provinces in Britain are likely to defect to either myself or US and this is a win either way for my ultimate goal.
dharper: I think its fairly clear that I’m not a big fan of the cost of elections. Perhaps, if one were able, it’d be more suitable (and interesting) to alter a slider or two rather than take that much cash out of the hands of the player.
Whenever I mint, I almost never lower the amount of minting I do, especially when I’m a larger power making more money. So I’m often stuck with the inflation. As seen in various 50 year updates, after I went bankrupt my inflation soared to about 5.0 and within 50 years I had brought it down to something like 4.3. It has only gone down .1 or .2 since then however, with the end of the game coming, its rising.
If I have to pay this much for a campaign, I feel like I’m being punished but if a slider move or two were placed with each candidate, I’d feel like I were advancing my own strategies.
Specialist290: Thanks for stepping up as I don’t think the US had named “Unami” as a state.
I think Creek’s survival is mostly dependent on myself and MMP. In one of the last pictures you can see only France and I border the small 2 province nation and its unlikely France has a large unit stationed in that province. Portugal even has a unit still stationed in Pensacola. The slow pace at which the other powers explore is what really saved the Creek, along with Central and most of South America.
Iamwinterborn: That could be a solution as I only auto-send merchants and I didn’t have that luxury back in my constantly played MM 1.3 days. Loans were at a low back then but MM was different too. I don’t think its entirely the merchants though because in my Algiers game I’ve only taken a few loans so the auto-send can’t be the only culprit.
I kind of wish I would’ve retained a save game (I picked up a Crimea game and saved over the Ireland game a while back) so I could look back and really see what was going on. With a new version of MM coming out soon though, I might've waited anyway, as I’m doing now.

This is an excellent demonstration of colonial events.
Very informative - thank you! And best of luck with Irish America!

Why are you getting inflation?
France has been a bad boy according to the amount of provinces!

And why are you still a (lesser) ? Seems to me, Ireland has grown itself to become a major player.

i don't think I heve ever seen such a disciplined army before. how did you manage to do it?
He's got full quality. That plus a good monarch, probably accounts for all of it.
There's also a couple of decisions that increase it by 5%, maybe he had one of those.
