Reloading would do you no good unless you went back before he was sent since that is when success is determined.
Now sending him and "fixing" the save file to insure success, Well that is possible. some might say better utilized with missionary's however.

Okay, give me a few days, I'll eventually get this written up as a, hopefully, stickied FAQ in the FAQ forum. That is, if folks would find it useful. Naturally it'll be very concise. Be patient. I have some ideas of my own too.
I think that would be rather dificult since no one seams to agrea.

it'd more historical to send ALL ur monthly income to treasury
Think of research as the cost to upgrade supplies and weapons/ships/tradeposts/roads ...
That way it also makes sense that the more provinces you own the higher your tech costs.
The army size is kind of taken care of with support costs.
Now if your manpower was a function of how well you are doing that might be interesting. ie. if you are having massive losses people would be less willing to join the army.

Yes - that's what I thought I'd said. Save, send colonist(s), and reload if the outcome is too disappointing to bear .... but of course if you're going to piss about like that you might as well just edit the file to "success = yes" .... and avoid the mirror for a while ...
Ya if you are going to cheat atleast do it the time saving smart way.

In short:
No WorldConquest
No DoW without CB
No turbo-annex if there's a way to avoid it. Also, not to put myself in a situation where turbo-annex is possible. If it happens, release vassals, make unwanted provinces revolt and defect, lose a war to get rid of them, whatever is needed.
No alliances with great powers, unless there already exists another such alliance and I'm the next target.
Limiting myself only to the core/countryculture provinces.
No accepting of AI peace offers, unless they're exactly what I would offer, or I have no means of reaching their provinces, or I'm in deep trouble and someone offers white peace.
Avoid colonial wars, try to get unoccupied land if possible.
No killing off of natives if it can be avoided by any means provided by the game.
No loans of any kind (unless forced to)
Sounds boring, But if it floats your boat go for it.
I guess you do not play land locked nations with no external CB shield provinces.

Actually, I use kind of the same rules, and I often play landlocked nations without CBs.
What could you possibly do? No wars no colonization.
Seems pretty cheesy to manufactor CB's when you are useing house rules not to DOW without them. Sort of like cheating against yourself.
A eux je montre mon derrière!
very rough translation.
To them I show my Ass.
But I was reffering to the second part.

Sometimes the nonhistorical choice is the only way to play a country, of course. If a button says "Game Over", don't press it.
Hmm! Good Advice, might be considered an exploit though!
