  2. Re: How to incite a revolution in another nation or get its territory without a war?

    Neither Saxony nor Rhineland are independent territories but are the core territories of minor nations. If Saxony rebels it's replaced by Saxony (different government). If Rhineland (i.e. Kingdom...

    For that, you'll have to mouse over each building in the R&D screen. It'll tell you which units are buildable there.

  9. Re: Visual Guide on Taxes in ETW Campaigns What is best?

  10. Re: Visual Guide on Taxes in ETW Campaigns What is best?

    Actually, yes - population growth does affect income in a region, though in a very disconnected way. As the population grows, the income from subsistence farming goes up, improving wealth growth in...

    Re: I want Empire 2 Total War

  12. [Released] Re: More reasonable diplomacy mini-mod (using taw's research into the territorial expansion problem, v10, May 16, 2015)

  13. [Released] Re: More challenging battles: Removed Gabionades, Stronger Garrisons, Navy Recruitment & Semi-Realistic Battles (2015)

    Yes. In fact, it can slow things down so much that the Martha and Mughals spend the whole game fighting instead of the Maratha overrunning the Mughals completely by about 1734 as per Vanilla.

    I have often found playing as one of the Italian states very rewarding. It's especially useful in that you have almost nothing but other minors around. The thing to watch for is that as Savoy or...

    There's no reason you can't capture the entire map. You just can't own all the regions so easily. Via #9, you'd have to maintain sufficient forces to suppress regular rebellions. Check your...
