Who controled New York, Philadelphia, and Florida? It might have something to do with the owners over the years.

Rome: House of Scipii

Barbarian invasion: Easter and Western Roman Empires

Medieval I: Russia (Held back the "Golden Horde" with thousands of peasants, calvary and other cheap soldiers.)

Medieval II: Holy Roman Empire

Empire: Prussia, and United States

Shogun: Chosokabe Clan

And I conqured the world with all of them.

The Knights of St John were a fucking nightmare for me to take. They always had a fleet sitting in their port, so I could land troops through there, and the islands is so small, it's a massive pain in the arse trying to land anywhere else.

I think by the time I took it I had lods emone to the point where I had 2 or 3 full stack armadas chilling in Yurop. I ended up just sinking boats whenever I came across them because how dare they sail in my ocean, and nobody could do anything.

Baring in mind at this point I was no longer Great Britain so much as the Glorious British Republic so pretty much every faction in the game hated me - no friends no allies.

Which is why I gave it to the Barbary States, my republican bros, I was lonely.

Lol, what happens to the flag when the UK has a revolution?

Also, how did you get a revolution? I've never been remotely close to a revolution as the UK. Couple of uprisings in conquered territories naturally, especially in the German state, who I think were hoping I would act as liberators from Polish-Lithuanian oppression.

It changes to the English flag but it has the saltire in the top left and bottom right corner.

smash all the entertainment buildings in england
build factories everywhere
tax the shit out of the poor
remove garrison
keep having elections till you get a bad government

It's important to leave the country unguarded when you take charge of the revolutionaries - makes capturing the capital easier.

I did it intentionally ofc :v

Not really a problem for me, then again, i did send some Republican Guards and Jager Meisters on First rate ships and steam boats. Still, they put up on hell of a fight.

There is a better way, do not tax any other state you own except your own and tax the shit out of the rich and poor.

I've seen a couple of modern flags turn up, usually as I'm about defeat a nation.

I was at war with Russia, had taken St Petersburg and the Crimea and its other Baltic holdings and pretty much destroyed the bulk of the Russian standing army, forcing them to start hit and run tactics on resource centres, when they had a revolution and the modern Russian flag turned up.

Also, I had knocked Poland-Lithuania down to Poland and Königsberg when they had a rebellion and the Polish flag turned up.

Well obviously you're not going to become a double absolute monarchy - you don't even have a rich, you only have the middle class, and IIRC, there's less buildings that detract from bourgeois support, so that's why you went republic.

The AI doesnt care about your prestige :p to them your 'top of the line' steamship is just another fancy target. It's like the carronade frigates, its for people with more money than sense :)

And does anyone use the Razzee? It's an alright ship, but its requirements are wwaayy too large for such an average ship. I mean needing a steam drydock?! Come on CA!
