Congrats Par4

The word is out that the Tutorial scenario is quite long and may confuse people new to the game. So it has been suggested that new comers play Russia in the Grand Campaign on easy level while you read the manual. And of course visit the forums at Paradox for helpful advice:

You have to have a large enough force to lay siege (about size 5 or above, and have cavalry and guns). After the siege, you control the province.

This isn't Civ2. You can take control over a province, but can only own them through peace negotiations. The Iroquis, you need to take their capital and another two or three provinces, as well as destroy their army. You can then annex them. Or, you can demand provinces (not the capital) as tribute in peace negotiations. Also, provinces you take over may just be colonies and not cities, thus you cannot build in them yet.

Another thing to remember, you can't annex great powers (at least without tweaking the game).

You can't always. You can try to provoke another nation into declaring war on you. Ruin your relationship by insulting them diplomatically.

From what I understand, you can only send colonists to provinces with less than 5000 people. But I've seen inconsistancies, so I'm not too sure about this. Never had much problem with this. Just keep a good tolerance for the protestants and build Cheif Judges to keep stability.

Yeah the tutorial is a biatch. I took over all of england and all of france, then pirates started showing up and I couldn't fight them because I only had transports. So I found these guys down by the Spain-France border don't remember their names but I couldn't declare war on them.

I have a few questions if you could help it would be great, oh yeah I have read the manual
