Well...I have good news for both Wise and Tobbs.
Tobbs, against all odds Sweden has managed to conquer both the Baltic, a bit of Prussia and...you'll love this, 2/3 of Russia.
Wise, somehow the Dutch managed to utterly destroy France, as in it no longer exists. They've also managed to conquer the Spanish homeland, though the Spanish Empire still holds out. The Dutch are also now making inroads into Northwestern Italy.
As for me, I destroyed the US and Cherokee, which convinced what remained of the Thirteen Colonies to join me (there wasn't much left). So with the exception of Upper Canada, New York, Michigan and the Iroquois homeland...plus Newfoundland, I control the Eastern Seaboard. I've also destroyed Mysore, which caused me no end of trouble. That war nearly bankrupted me and I lost Carnatica (southern India) several times. I am now focusing on upgrading my trading ports, reducing some of my army strength and just generally letting my economy recover. Fortunately, with all the upgrades I made, my trading empire is now proving quite profitable. After I've recovered, I'm going to conquer the Iroquois and at some point move against the Maratha Confederacy.
