One question: why bother with military access?
OK, two questions
What's your WE like at the moment?
It looks like managing the wars will get easier after the second round, so to speak, when you start annexing all those smaller nations you've now reduced down to just the one province.

MA before the war or in some of the peace deals?
1 - Before - So I wouldnt have to plan every minor detail of each campaign and I could just send large armies all over the place without being too concerned about attrittion.
2 - During peace deals...Yeah bit wasted there....
WE is at 14% in the captured provinces, 7% at home and 8% in France and the Americas.
The thing is rebels are starting to be a major concern, they are popping up all over the place, English China is infested with them and they fight like the English...they have completely destroyed some English armies
. And the Empire is just not producing enough troops to cover the losses at the moment, if I had a wad of diplomats I could easily sue for peace with all my enemies and bide some time...some things are looking up but some are looking bad....Im starting to dread every turn of the month, sometimes its with relief...sometimes horror as another 2/4 rebellions break out . This is worse than I had expected so early in the world war, Im starting to wish Id built alot more troops before the outbreak of war and had let the manpower pool go back up.UR_VILE_WEDGE said:
I actually tried to get trade 10 that decade, however I got two -stab events, one assassination of noble -1 stab, and one were I had to choose between -1 aristocracy, -1 centralization or -2 stab, I chose to lose the stab. So Ive been investing heavily there, trying to maintain +2 stab,
Well I'm sure that was a welcome Act of Union. At least you have the money to get mercenaries when and where they are available. But I think your initial concern way back was the main one - your Empire was so scattered that orchestrating the peace treaties is effectively impossible at first. That is something that will only be resolvable as you knock off the minors I'm guessing.

Its comforting somehow to have the Union Jack
. I usually get the mercs at the start of each month.Yeah, being all over the place is not good, right now I have something like 5 nations to be annexed but no diplomats, it seems so slow
. Im perservering for now, still very much hopeful I can pull it off...(BUT), if the rebels continue to gain momentum the games going to become unplayable for me and this atempt wil fail...
Just remember that there is a point when WE can't get any bigger. The whole situation will probably get worse before it gets better, I'm afraid, and it may be worth accepting some less brilliant offers, or letting a few provinces revolt away, until you get Europe sorted out. Although as I say I've never done it I always have the impression that, since Europe tends to have so many more countries, it is always the headache regarding peace-orchestration.

What point is it that BB cant get any bigger? :rofl: , sorry this is bloody madness, WC that is :rofl: :rofl: . I decided on a cunning plan (looking at it now it wasnt so cunning...however) to lose the provinces in mainland eastern asia and focus on central india to europe and africa :rofl:...slowly but surely it seems to be getting somewhere, rebels are bad, but Im learning to leave certain ones standing while mainly focusing on knocking out the ones that have potential to cause harm, every peace offer is a real release... :rofl: Madness...Madness....I think Im losing it or perhaps Ive lost it already
