Bbmike, what's your avatar from? 'Timetunnel'?

Yeah, I was (still am?) a big Irwin Allen junkie back in the early days. Time Tunnel and Land of the Giants were my favorites.  :)

^^ I WONDERED IF THAT'S WHAT IT WAS!

Never watched the series, but one of my favorite books growing up was either a novelization of it or the novel it was based on.

OK.. I offer peace to UK again (figuring they'll turn me down again). I also offer peace to the Ottomans (whom I was gonna go lay some whoop ass on if the UK accepted before).. Well, they both accepted  :( .... I'm not at war with anyone!.. This is no fun, now I have to learn how to sell wine!

U'geek, at some point you should be punching the utter hell out of your cultural improvements, seeing as how you don't have to deal with military problems and can focus on investing your money in investments.

once unification comes round i can see that, but at the moment im a fraction of the size of the other 2, my private income is pi** poor, i have managed to level it out some after getting carried away with research and getting pummelled by SDRs economic collapse - its a very slow attempt to industrialise the area, but i can afford a new factory every ten turns where i think the big guys could do it every turn if required

I haven't built anything in two years.  Every penny I take in, I dump straight into the army replacement pool. My armies are almost gone all due to the retarded attrition rules that I have to follow but the AI rebels don't.  I guess I'm misunderstanding how supply works.  I am within two regions of two different supply depots.  Both have 100+ supplies in stock.  I have two supply wagons with all armies and if one runs out of supply, I send it back to a depot with a cavalry unit as guard.  I built up road networks in all the provinces around and in Khiva.  It shouldn't be this hard to stay in supply and knock out a bunch of irregular cavalry.

I suspect I'm going to lose the capital next turn as you can see by the strength numbers of the various unit cards in the screen shot below.

I thought the last bar was Supply... So when looking from afar, there is three bars.. Cohesion Health Supply.. in the Unit Panel two bars. Cohesion Supply?

Ugh.. I'm so mixed up on what the Bars mean!

[JasonPratt]

...coffee bars?  :D

[Silent Disapproval Robot]

The two unit bars are cohesion and strength.

[bbmike]

Pretty sure the first bar is cohesion and the second is manpower.

After loading up my current game it appears you are correct!  :)

[Tuna]

hmm my Son is looking at it this morning, I think he's going to start a game as Prussia (he's a Paradox head), but he keeps looking over my shoulder when I do turns for our game.. lol.. when I first had the music turned on, he kept asking if I was playing Vicky2.
