After an ill-advised Dutch atempt at conquering some Amazon territory ended with 20+ of their Navy serving as artificial reefs of the south american coast, Brazil started beeing considered a superior power to the Netherlands. That meant it was now the 10th.
Now, beeing the 10th, it's very hard to resist the temptation to go for 8th.
Beeing the 4th prestige rated nation in the planet, and 14th in both Military and Industrial, the path seems clear: Develop!
As more divisions are raised, and as some not-really-top-tech-but-heck Ironclads built, I am at a loss as to how to increase Industrial score.
The obvious I can see - more factories = good. More people working in the factories = good. But what about the rest? More exports? less imports? Does it matter how many diferent products you manofacture? Anything else?
Also, related to the above, is there any game advantage of industry diversification? For exemple, when my capitalists (praise them) built glass, eletric equipment and phone factories, I just had to make Brazil a phone exporter. That meant some profitable wood industries got scaled back, and even caused some goods I was barely exporting to become goods I import in low quantities.
So I expected to lose industrial score - but I belive I gained it! And I also tipped the exporting value over 1300, albei at a cost of tiping the imports over 12. Beyond the obvious "profit" issue, is there any factor I'm not contemplating here?
