China's manpower and resources are stunning!! But to educate the people puts an impossible drain on your cash flow. Has anyone any ideas as to how one might turn China's strengths to combat its most terrible weakness -- that of impossible backwardness?

Im just starting to get the hang of things, yet my Ottoman Empire already overshadows Britain by 1847... (Annexed in one swoop Egypt for daring to claim the caliphate after a 4 years war helped alot :)

So im sure the same can be done with China!!

Save some money, trade railroad techs, and off you go!

hehe i been trying china but the revolts are kicking my ass :(...i own all but 1 prov of korea, all annam, took out johore and that nation that stretches down the penninsula to it...was all geared up to invade burma..anneixng these lil nations actually was raising my prestige more that the dows lowered it so this was helping my trade power...still no machine gears however...and tech is moving abysmally slow as yet <forgot all about converting more clerks and clergy to raise tech speed as suggested elsewhere> but i did manage to buy 5 techs from russia for cash...but after that 1 time i have been unable to buy techs from any other nation :(...i did however use my abundant cash to buy colonies...i own washington oregon, idaho, wyoming, oklahoma, most of western canada , western australia, and the russian claims in central asiai...but unfortunately im facing a ton of revolts i cant handle..even went bankrupt once trying to conduct social reforms to calm em..i get the numbers to zero but even so they still revolt at 0 :(

note: i avoided a war with england whent he event fired saying dow with england...but sicne england was at war with russia still over the ottoman thing..it basically didnt allow it to happen.. saw this as the usa while england was at war and the canada thing fired a war off..but the wart didnt happen...think its a bug..unless it was intedned that you can only fight 1 war at a time

if you strike fast your startign army is large enough to sweep korea... hit him in large stack and chase him leaving a divsion here and there to lay seige and to cover flanking provs...didnt take long before korea was offerign me peace..got half of it in first war other half minus capitol in seocnd war...the second war was scary though ..had to ignore several revolts to prosecute it to finish
