Very detailed report Graham; good work!
Thanks for taking the time to wet our appetites.
The only thing that worries me is the less than brilliant behaviour of the French AI. Clearly it was insanely aggressive, attacking when it stood no chance of winning. It must've had a stability of -3 and empty coffers... You sure that the AI at the 'furious' difficulty level is not just more aggressive?
Oh, and I think that the ability to completely annex major powers should be an in-game setting. It was pretty absurd that you could not annex Portugal in your game.
