Not sure how you made that connection. And the motive is not at all because they have more than me, that has nothing to do with this. I would be as happy as can be if they had all that stuff if they have actually earned it. They haven't, it was simply granted to them because they are apparently worth more than the rest of us combined. And how you can defend something like that is beyond me.
I wouldn't say they're worth more than the average citizen, not as people individually anyways. But we all have our place Tobbs. You have yours, I have mine and they have theirs. If Sweden decides to remove the Monarchy then its no business of mine, but it would sadden me.
At any rate, I'll probably not attack the Maratha Confederacy, as they're one of my few trading partners and are friendly with me. There aren't many trading opportunities left...well actually there aren't any left whatsoever. All the remaining trading ports are either filled up or conquered by someone else. Currently at war with the Iroquois, Sweden and Spain.
The Iroquois are no longer much of a threat, as I've reduced them to one territory, and I'll soon finish them off. Sweden declared war on me for some reason, not sure why, maybe they're looking for conquests. Spain I attacked because I want their Caribbean possessions, which I took. Not surprisingly they didn't want to make peace after that, so I'm thinking of taking their South American possessions, until they decide to make peace.
Russia managed to retake a little territory from Sweden, but that probably won't last long. The Dutch have taken Spanish-occupied Portugal and all but one of Spain's North African territories. Spain still has Southern Italy and Naples. Still, combine my assault on their Latin American territories with the Dutch's advance through North Africa and Italy, and I'd say they're doomed. Russia is bound to fall soon too, which means it'll just be me, the Dutch, Austria, Sweden and the Ottomans left in Europe.
