Howdy folks. I apologise if this has been posted before, but search function tells me I'm not allowed to use it.
Anyway, I had a wonder. In some of my recent games, I see some bizarre industrial power growth from other countries. Before the 1.2 patch, I witnessed how Austria went from 0 to 120 in a matter of few years. Turns out they had a bunch of factories filled to bust with craftsmen in such a short notice, but how they did it is beyond me.
Now, my recent game here the other day saw France grow from their starting industrial power to 250 in the wake of 10 years from start. So by 1846, they have 250, whereas I have to sit with 35. I managed to creep it up to 47, but then it just dropped dead to 32, and then slowly rose again.
The thing is, the French are Liberals. They don't build their own factories, they have capitalists to do that. But what I don't understand is how it's possible to sky-rocket your industrial power from 70 to 250 so fast. I'm obviously doing something wrong here, and I was hoping you guys would know what was going on, and how I, too, can sky-rocket my industry to bizarre proportions. :wacko:
