year is now 1880.. i industrialized rly late since im still learning to play with pops and everything. I made a few wars on Chili, Argentina and my old satellite that acquired independance from me and made war through an event with like everyone in S-America.. I gathered a few high pop provinces and sulfur/iron provinces from them. Industrialisation is doing fine, research too. I'm still trying to figure out how i can get things like democracy and end of slavery... i always promoted liberalism - free trade - pro military - full citizenship so I will see what will be the result of all this.

About the capitalists. Numbers got something to do with how fast they build RR and factories right?

On the downside my manpower and army is a bit low.

I traded a few techs too but acquired nothing too awesome.

Well, Capis of 20K+ seem well to create in 1840, but they tend to overgrow & backfire in the 20th century, as they get so numerous that they spend everything insted of buying. But in 1880, that's an OK number. in 1840 I don't create capis bigger than 5k, even if this is an initial slowdown.....

and of course set rich taxes to zero to improve capis investment rate.
