With the right tech researched they will reload and fire faster ... and the wind direction in naval battles are crucial for the outcome if the fleets are evenly matched ... and they fight better and will not surrender so easy if you have an admiral in the fleet ...

Thing is, I research technology so slowly I get one every 5-8 turns or so
I think my last tech was the naval something or flintlock canon idk, one of them does the -5% reload time i know that

The first few tech goes pretty fast ... you will not be done with all the tech until 1750-1760 or so ... remember to asign those "gentlemen" to a university to research tech faster ... you can also send your gentlemens to other unis to steal tech

And you can trade tech of course ...

I have also destroyed schools when I didn't need them anymore ... and 38 years ... that was fast

Lol yeh, it wasn't as if I was trying either. It's just because you can train multiple units a turn and replenish troops on the move made constantly attacking much easier. If I was going for speed I wouldn't have attacked Russia, not only the time attacking them but once I'd finished I had 4 armies on the wrong side of the continent. I probably would not have gone Prussia either.

Funny thing was I had to kill off Sweden twice lol :p. I killed them off, but forgot to 'exempt them from taxes' so a rebellion started and they took back Stockholm (and at the time was preoccupied with Austria and Lithuania) so didn't do anything about it till later on where they had recaptured 4 more provinces.

after road to independence im thinking of playing as America, the British or the Dutch, which faction is good?

Well from my (limited) experience all the factions are pretty similar. No similar is a bad word... 'the same'.

Also don't think there is an "America" in the Grand campaign.

Do your areas still always rebel like in the other total wars when u have nearly conquered everywhere? Cos that was really fucking annoying in the old ones.

look for other "towns" and either knock down whichever building is there already, or go capture a new region to get more.


also after awhile a new town will pop up in highly prosperous regions

But I have several towns ( over 10 ) and only one ( Salamanca ) has a school. How do I build more on the other towns? I don't see a clearcut option to this.
