either that or continually keep breaking royal marriages, truces etc to keep lowering your stability so that you have something to invest in.... ;)

Better yet, don't invest in the Navy, so you get land tech faster and at the end you invest in Navy tech and don't get the forced inflation. ;)

the question was what to do when all techs were researched, then I doubt: 'don't invest in naval tech because then you can invest in that afterwards....' will solve his problems.... :D

But navy IS useful some of the time, when playing a game centred around the oceans, that is... :)

Stop sending merchants and hope to be banned from CoTs.

Build an enormous army and navy to have high manteinance costs.

Apply the the European Central Bank recomendations to keep inflation low ... although in Spain it doesn't work :D

Still - since there are more than 400 provinces, I see a possibility of building a measly governor a year and take care of all the inflation... The "I had to - lest the inflation would kill me" excuse has never worked in the Hague court, not once! :)

I usually don't play colonials powers......
Still, even if you are colonizing, wars are won on land, not at sea. I think that having a strong Navy is a luxury that most countries can't afford. :)

If you plan to take on Venice as the Osmans, you'll have to get a navy and it'd better be better than theirs. :)

Get governors to lower your inflation. By the stage in the game that you have full tech, you will probably have enough cash rolling in each year/month to offset the inflation.

Celebrate the fact you only have 17% inflation!

When it gets over 50%, then start worrying.

Bruce

PS - In case you're confused, that inflation rate is actually a cummulative value of all inflation since the start of the game. Not 17% per year. So it's a lot better than it sounds (and a lot better than it was historically too I would bet.)

How would this help? See as you have to pay for your upkeep from your treasury.

Ignore it!

No need to worry about it since you can't really do anything about it :)

except not letting it get that high in the first place ;)

But 17% is not a kind of inflation that will destroy your nation, you can play on just fine and when the times come around where you canbuild governors then do that and be happy to watch your inflation fall to 0 ( or you could hope for random events to lower your inflation)
