******* hate this game at times.
Playing France, used the Maine event trick to take a territory in Ireland (to get around the British navy) and by mid 1500's I've basically got England finished bar about 7-8 territories. Huge army (110k standing or so) and navy and making around 15g a turn. All good.
Then for a reason I cannot figure, literally nothing has changed I can work out, I'm suddenly losing 25g a turn. My economy tanks, my ruler dies and is replaced by someone 0/0/2 so my progress stalls and the religious event fires because I have 5, yes 5, conversion centres sat on my border torching my religious unity.
I accept that things go bad in this game but the economy stuff is BS. I even downsized my army by 30k but hasn't touched the sides of the money I'm losing.
For all its a fun game I loathe it at times
