Do you want to join? I think that it is a bit unfair if you don't want to. The choice, in an ideal world, should be yours.

I'd join the military if I was fitter and didn't have anger management problems. At least I wouldn't be deployed to Afghanistan and it would continue the family's fighting history.

Yes. A good trick is to plan your magistrates ahead, rush your first idea, then go straight to building constables as fast as possible. If you plan on building a lot of ships, press gangs will give you an early game edge. Mid-game money isn't such a worry, but pumping out carracks at half cost lets you kick all kinds of ass, especially as someone like England or Sweden, where you can deny access to your most troublesome enemies using your navy.
