Yeah, but why do they add more points than a dreadnought?
They don't. They add more CP per naval supply point (12 CP for 3 SP) than a dreadnought (22 CP for 60 SP).

But how many CP does a dreadnought give after a tussle with 20 ironclads?
Not having set up a test case, I'd hazard a guess that it runs out of org before it runs out of hull. It's much tougher, much harder-hitting, noticeably longer-ranged, and noticeably faster-moving.

Questions on adding to Spheres...

What's the point?
Is there "Too Many" in terms of numbers of countries in a sphere?
Is there a point to adding countries across the globe, willy nilly, or is it better to attempt to sphere entire areas?

Sorry to put this here, but it seems I cannot add a new thread, though one can see my games are all registered.

Spheres must trade with you before the world market. They also work as buffer states as they are under you protection and thus cannot be invaded without our interference.

Say you want a nice factory that needs oil. Country X has plenty of oil, but mean old [Insert_GP_Here] is buying all of it before you can.
Sphere Country X and they're forced to sell you oil, and buy your products before they trade with that other GP (probably Britain).

It also lets you join any of their defensive wars (until they add a CB), letting you mess with their neighbors. And they're more likely to ally with you.

Sphere resource-rich countries that you can sell your stuff to (as long as they aren't China).

And sphering's a great way of painting the map your country's color without Infamy (because that's all that really matters, right?)

Well, you can always choose not to interfere, if you want. You can use spheres and friendly status to declare regions of interest.

I see the expansions registered, but not the base game itself...that is why I reckon you can't start a new thread.

What is the purpose of suppressing movements, does it reduce militancy gain? What are the short and long term effects of suppressing a movement? What does a movement's 'radicalism' mean?

A POP that is part of a movement will gain MIL until the reform is passed or the movement suppressed. A movement that reappears after suppression will be more radicalized in that it is more difficult to suppress again and will convert into a rebel movement sooner.

Industrialization .. I've been playing as Spain and managed to get to the 4th spot .

I just can't seem to catch up with France and GB . They always seem to be twice as far ahead as I am . I had used all five of my NFs for craftsmen and there are no unemployed and I've researched all the industry tech . I even have more population than france ..

I want to be an industrial superpower but it doesn't seem to be working . Any advice in sparking my own industrial superrevolution ?

Tumblew33d;15461524 painting the map your country's color.... all that really matters said:
For some I suppose...as for me I find it more interesting to see what combination of tax rates can keep my POPs at 50% everyday goods at a minimum while maintaining enough of a military that deters invasion, avoiding high MIL and revolts and passing reforms through movement strength and in general mucking about with the economic levers, YMMV.

France may have a higher non-colonial population; I'm assuming you have not made a state of the Phillipines. Are you on the 3.02 beta? France is not quite the industrial powerhouse as before.

How do you get the first brits into the interior of Australia once you colonize it (playing as a released Australia). My busiest RGO is 2% full so I highly doubt anyone will wander in there looking for a job, even though I have had (marginally) more immigration than the USA basically forever.
