World conquest

Thanks a lot. I'd definitely have to say that diplomacy isw my weakpoint in this game. I appreciate your help very much, now I'd just like to ask how you maintain your budget (infra, land, naval). From your last post I was able to tell that you keep trade infrastructure high. What about the rest, especially stability after a series of wars.

Always keep your stability at +3, whenever possible. If I have low stability, everything (with the exception of the minimum required to keep cash flow at 0), is invested in stability.

A quick way to get back +1 stability is to annex a country with higher stability than yourself. This is very useful if you're fighting small countries such as those in Germany.

But barring the stability investments, Trade and Infrastructure up to Lvl 5; after that level I usually begin concentrating a bit on arms again - primarily to get infantry up to muskets, and to get optics for the navy.
