Excellent game, quite involving!
I went to war with Denmark, I defeated their armys, which was ,mainly militia but as I was about to annex them, an army of loyalist milita and my army were line infantry and they crushed my army,. Annoying that was France invaded them!!
The game play is great it does take time to learn, I have just learnt to merge troops together example line infantry when they suffered casuaties to bring them back to strength!
To get more gold is by to increase your commerical routes, by clicking on the commerical button next to the miltray view, build many ships as you can, click on other countries and build trade posts! this will help!
The navel battles are superband so are the land battles the sound and graphics are truely brillant!
I would recommend this game to people who plays strategic games
