Hello,
I try to improve my skills on Imp 1, in order to win a game and alas, as most certainly many players think, this is far from easy.
Here are my questions:
Military units and budget :
I create enough varied units: light artillery, foot soldiers, heavy artillery, and heavy cavalry, because once I made the mistake of doing only heavy artillery to protect each of my province (3 artillery in each province and I sent another one in reinforcement), but although in the first years the computer ended up abandoning each time (its units fled) it ended up conquering my provinces thanks to the Of his generals who forced his units to fight
So have you any advice/tactics to wich unit I can use effectively ?
I have a hard time managing my military budget, as I create a good pack of units, about 8 units in each province, with forts in each province, to protect me from an enemy invasion, (since the computer loves to invade countries badly armed and that I myself was eliminated every time ...) the latter increases so much that towards the end of the game it easily reaches the $ 3000 which is very difficult to manage.
My question, how to manage this budget, do you have any advice?
I feel that investing in minor countries with my investor is a waste of time and a waste of money.
Diplomacy :
On the other hand, as far as minor nations are concerned, is it worth the effort to invade them? Since the computer does it every time, I ask myself the question then certainly we can get our hands on gold and diamonds, but apart from that, what is the real interest of invading these minor countries?
Another question: I often receive a message from my minister, that I have lost my diplomatic advantage over another minor nation, I do not understand what this message means and how to solve this problem, By offering them commercial agreements and high percentage, I still get this message, anyone has an idea of the problem and if possible a solution please?
Thank you in advance,if any Imperialism 1 veteran can help me.
