how to make easy money

[Vincentius]

do i do it from taxs or priviteering i like to play as prussian and create the germany empire

I find sending trading fleets, protected by warships to the trading theatres is an easy way to make a few quid. Taxes is another good way, but you have to balance between income and public happiness etc.... build a few trading fleets and watch the cash come rolling in

trading fleets are nice, but the key to a massive spending budget is conquering the new world and building up the infrastructure there. especially south america... ive had empires with 140k revenue per turn, just by building up a massive infrastructure. it takes a little time, but its nice being able to crank out full stack armies and navies in a just a turn or two to go on a blitzkreig!

Trade will lead you to wealth and when you have that wealth, you can conquer all.

[Venrax]

Yeah, agreed a massive push into the new world or India, then building up the infrasturcture will make you a financial power house

Agree with sending trading fleet to the theaters but also cosider expanding into india or america this will give you the goods such as tobacco sugar and cotton wich will increase your trade income.
Make sure you are also trading with major nations.
When playing Prussia take over Austria , Poland , Denmark and United Province (Holland) first then think about expanding outside. This will make you dominant power in central Europe.Also by getting rid of United Province you can take over their outside territories such as New Gunia in South America and Ceylon in the India becuse they will be under rebel control after their capital is taken over. From there you can lay the foundation and expanding your Empire outside of Europe.

He wants Easy Money, not a guide to winning as Prussia.

Easy money as Prussia is to build farms. Keep taxes low to encourage growth. Especially new town growth. Focus on farms/industry to begin w/while at the same time building up your cannon strength w/a second school

Prussia can go for multiple years w/out too much time spent on infantry because their LI is so strong to begin with. Once farms/industry has grown a couple you should be set. In several of my Prussian campaigns I never left Europe until I'd conquered Vienna or even further. That included never even building a ship, let alone a trade ship.

If you can focus on those techs, while still maintaining dominance on the field w/your LI against your neighbors of Austria/Poland/Savoy ect, then just continue down that path until you have what you personally feel is a decent turn by turn economy.
