Playing as Prussia, I've come to notice some rather irritating things.

1-Distribution of Artisans and Craftsmen.
At the start of the game Prussia has 250,000 Artisans vs. 10,000 Craftsmen. Now, this is hardly game breaking, but it is irritating since it allows Austria to get 4 times your industrial score in 5 years (Thus rivaling the UK). Now I can understand a close race or twice my industrial score, but Isn't 4x a little unrealistic?

2-Austria's Strategy for the Austro-Prussian war.
Austrias strategy for this war consists of attempting to sneak around Prussian soldiers and capturing Berlin. Now this wouldn't be so bad except it forces you to create gigantic stacks of troops to hunt them down, making the war turn into some bizarre game of tag. I haven't fought any other wars against a comparable power, so I don't know if this is an isolated incidant or not.

3-The Liberal Revolution.
In Europe for the Liberal Revolution, no revolt ever happened. And I don't understand why the POP's seem to want to join Danziger Nationalists rather than Polish Nationalists.

Other than these complaints, I thought the game was great and very addictive.

I hate the hegemony system all together. As far as I can tell, it's just free prestige; the loser can still meddle in Germany as he pleases. And it gets really annoying when Austria goes to war with me every three years to establish hegemony even after I form Germany.

It just seems like a cheap way to have an Austro-Prussian war without fixed events.
