Hey, thanks Uglyduck, many thanks from a lone IP banned EU-fan.
My grudge is not against you but against Paradox. It's them I want to educate: DON"T ROB YOUR CUSTUMERS IF YOU WANT TO BE SELL SUCCESFULLY.

But I appreciate the info and will sit on my copy for a short while now before releasing it into the filesharecommunity... But it still pisses me off mightily that I can't look up rules and tips for playing. My poor Bourgondians are being slaughtered!
