Great AAR Jinxed!

I really enjoyed reading about your ruthless decisions. I agree with the others that it seemed you had a little too easy a time of it, but conquering is easier than holding. You should have had massive rebellions going on...

I am troubled by how quickly you destroyed the Danes and Russians on the highest difficulty level. Not to detract from your accomplishment, but historically it borders on the absurd.

The Danes were literally a day away from being annexed in 1660, so I don't consider that unrealistic. Completely annexing Russia is a stretch though. Capturing her northern provinces yes, partitioning her with Turkey and Poland, yes, but complete annexation? No.

It seems to me - without having played the game - that newly annexed provinces should rebel more, particularly former capitals. Furthermore, massive expansionism should result in huge and effective counter-alliances...
