Empire Total War: Great Britain 1700-1701 - A new game and frenetic activity. First order of business is to raise tax income, so to that end I've been building governmental buildings and trying to stimulate growth in the backwaters - Scotland, the Bahamas, Rupert's Land. A sugar plantation in the Bahamas is the obvious choice. Grabbing trade deals with European powers first is a must, to try and keep a diverse trade portfolio. It required a lot of one-off payments, but I now trade with the Dutch, Sweden, the Republic of Venice, Prussia, the Ottoman Empire, Savoy, and the Maratha Confederacy.
The second objective is to seize some of the Caribbean. Antigua and Trinidad are obvious targets as pirate strongholds and potential sugar isles. Winkling pirates out is always bloody expensive, unfortunately, and waiting for better technology or more artillery rarely makes it much easier
