Well, it seems this will be a little bit more challenging that expected, but, if you have trouble, just call some mariachis and bring a bottle of tequila and the problem will be solved :D :p

You sir, are not only a gentleman you are also a worthy foe. I hope to cross swords again with you sometime. I salute you.

Batter'em. You'll get a nice little trip to the Pacific in the bargain, and frankly, diplo-annexing is for sissies. :D

That's too perfect. I thought France was supposed to be the centre of "Haute couture". You should add a "Burgeoning Fashion Industry" in Milan that gives you prestiege, money and and endless supply of fashionable hats for the army...And of course a new hat for the Pope!

As for the US, no diplomacy, just beat the piss out of 'em and annex! Seems to be what they would do, it's only fair to do it to them...

:eek:o this mission is going to be harder than I expected. Good luck. Make sure you did this one quickly so we can get on to mine :D
Not hard, just long. :)

Yours is next so in about five years. ;)

Yes, going all the way to the Pacific.

It's a good thing I turned religious defections off about fifty years ago, or they would surely have all of the Indonesian chain!

It would have been a lot more fun if the mission had been challenging instead of just long :(

Why don't you just change their capitol in the save file? That way we can get on with some hopefully more challenging missions :cool:

Nope, no save-game changing for me.

But next mission will be very entertaining I hope! :D

It is quite obvious that the Hat-Making Manufactury you have in Avignon is causing havoc among French Chapeau makers. As always, The Pope emerges victorious!!! :D

France, in this timeline, is a declining state. Unlike the flourishing Italian penninsula.

And the USA Will be swiftly annexed!

Where exactly does one do that? I would kind of like to do that before everybody starts colonizing and the reformation kicks in :rolleyes:
In the Commons folder, there is a document called rebel_types.txt.

Open it and find religious zealots and change the "defection = something" to "defection = none"
