Belgium income was 612, actually.

In which case either those were the 15,000 finest, most-experienced, most expensive regulars ever hired, or Outcast forgot to shift Belgium's income my way. If the case was that it was all simply an error, my only issue with the update would be the lack of consequences for the Ottoman debt. If their income stayed where it is, it would take them until 1954 to pay it off, assuming they never spend another dollar or anything else for those 91 years.

Their debt is literally over 9,000% of their income.

I noticed that Brazil revoked its recognition of the Confederacy, too. Perhaps the Union will be united soon.

I think you mean "I feel like you haven't been fair to me, and I'm sorry about my previous outburst. Can you please explain to my X, Y, and Z?"

No, that isn't what I meant. I would never say anything like that under any circumstances, because it isn't in my personality. When I have a question to ask, I ask it. I don't sandwich my questions in between layers of ass-kissing.

The Ottomans raised 100,000 men with poorer infrastructure than me and gained income, yet I raised only 15,000 men and annexed the most industrialized nation in mainland Europe and LOST income.

It should not be the case that Belgium's income before my invasion was insufficient to afford to maintain 15,000 regulars. There are three explanations; either Outcast fudged the numbers to give the side opposing me a better chance, a mathematical error was made, or I rolled the lowest possible number capable for my plans to succeed at all, and the Ottomans rolled the highest possible number for all of their orders.

@Giant: Drop a single one off in Constantinople and the entire Turkish fleet will be wiped out in a single turn.

Sometimes it just comes down to the rolls as well. This is not supposed to be some hyper-realistic game. It's about the fun of all those involved and creating an enjoyable alternate history. Yeah, that means that sometimes 'realistic' details might not seem 100% logical, but does it really matter?

If it all came down to rolls, I'll be eager to see the next update, wherein the tides grossly in favour of the Ottomans will surely not repeat themselves.

You know, Nex, Boerd, I think the appropriate response to something like this is "Thank you for all the hard work you're putting into this. I don't understand the changes you made to the system, however. Can you please explain them to me?"

The next time I get shafted I'll be sure to complain about it more politely.

The only question of "who done it?" is whether it was Russian separatists in Ukraine or the Russian government directly.

The map's sloppy, but ultimately it's used more as a mechanism to determine points of reference more than anything else, so that's fine.

Originally I was worried that Glacinus wouldn't have any neighbours to trade with, but with such a wide border that concern is thankfully assuaged.

The Netherlands raised 15,000 regulars and took an income dive of -£25.
The Ottoman Empire raised 100,000 regulars and received an income boost of +£130.

The only action that the Ottoman Empire took to raise their income was the production of their new fleet. Everyone ought to go another -£50,000 in debt next turn, it'll be a massive boost to the world economy.
