It has come to my attention that Spain never really properly declines in MP. Indeed it can actually ride the paradox events with ease. I have drawn up some in house rules to deal with problem but I was wondering if anyone had discussed the problem and produced modifications and what sort of scale?

I think reducing all the American mines in the 17th century would help, and is reasonably well-motivated historically. I just need to do something about it.

This chap has played out a number of EU board games with 6 players with a complete AAR. They are worth reading, to get a flavour of the orginal game.
A number of points spring to mind.
1) As mentioned, Spain has almost unlimted wealth in the computer game.
2) French wars of religion in the computer game are not a challenge on the same scale.
3) Spain is played as the Hapsbergs in EU we have a strange situation with 2 seperate players.

How about something like this (the text is not very good, I know):
##############
# Goldmine is drying out #
##############
event = {
id = 15004
trigger = { year = 1780 }
random = yes
name = "Goldmine is drying out"
desc = "Due to heavy exploitation of the goldmines, many ores began to run low on the precious minerals."
style = 5
action_a = {
name = "Darn"
command = { type = mine which = -1 value = -15 }
}
}

I´ve posted my suggested solution in that thread. I´m thinking that it might be of broader interest than just the EEP. In that case I may start a thread in this forum.
