Hi
I just gave up on a pathetic attempt to lead Denmark to glory in the Grand Campaign. Since the income of Denmark is very low, I grabbed the Hansa COT in Holstein as quickly as possible.
Unfortunately that didn't make much of a difference. Even though I had a monopoly in the COT my yearly income wasn't much more than a 100 Ducats or so. And since I had a monthly deficit of 6-8 Ducats I could either spend my entire yearly income to cover the deficit, or I could go down in a spiral of inflation.
In the end I decided to take out extra loans to increase my infrastructure and take the stability hit of a bankrupcy. But even my brewery didn't make much, and if have yet to see any effect of the Voigts or Marshalls - how much are they supposed to increase taxes?
After the bankrupcy the situation was much the same: my yearly income was 100 Ducats or so, and I still lost 6-7 Ducats a month.
What am I doing wrong here? I seem to be unable to do anything about my yearly income, and to lower my monthly expenses.
Any tips or suggestions?
