Also, the spreadsheet needs to be revamped. Military costs for the advanced stuff is extremely low.
One steam walker is the same price as 8 infantrymen. An ironclad battleship is the same price as 350 infantrymen. An Ether Battleship, which is the pinnacle of military technology, comes out to the same price as 1,1250 infantrymen. In reality, a state of the art battleship built in 1889 (Royal Sovereign) cost nearly a million pounds, which comes out to over 90,000,000 pounds today. In ww2, a Sherman tank cost $46,000, while an infantryman's equipment maybe cost $500 at the absolute most
With regards to Mars, can earth plants be grown there and vice versa? Can Humans eat martian food and vice versa? Can animals from mars or earth survive on the other's planet?

They aren't too well off, they just lost their navy, Korea and Taiwan in 1895 and historically get 'intervened in' by 8 countries in 1900. Though that was the result of an uprising you could simply not have happen or go differently in-game.

You're right, I thought it was 1899... nevermind. I guess it's time to look up Japanese history again.

and what about Venus or Mercury? Canon 1889?

Sweden-Norway is yours.
The great nation of France is yours to command.
You can take the Ottomans if you'd like, but honestly having a Russia player would be far more interesting this early in the game.
Thanks for pointing that out, I don't proclaim to be an expert on 1800s pay, or military fiances. I'll tweak the expenses, please continue to point out anything like this that you notice. It'll probably take a few days for us to really fine tune and balance the economy. If anyone feels like they are making to much, or to little money, please let me know.
Yes, some Earth plants can be grown there, corn, cucumbers, and potatoes have done rather well. While thinks like wheat and rice, not so much. Mars plants have been pretty much the same result on Earth. Yes, both Humans and Martians can eat food from the opposite planet, although reactions vary. For the most part it seems humans can eat most Mars plants and animals with little to no problem. Even some Martian poisons don't seem to bother Human.
The Qing are on a downhill sloop, and behind technologically. It'll take some effort to pull them back.
But they are yours.
Use the British Isles pop, you don't get tax income from colonies. Instead you get a lump sum of CP if the colony is successful, or you get a drain on your treasury if its just an expensive prestige thing.
Italy is yours.

Italy... of course, the classic north/south dichotomy is a problem, as is the general feeling of being disrespected and the obstinate disapproval of the pope... any great differences to OTL Italy?
Not really, like the rest of the Triple Alliance you suffer from a crippling lack of Liftwood, and are stuck using Helium for your Atherships.

@HellHound01, what is my situation like as Sweden-Norway? Any possible chance of Norway being integrated into Sweden?

How hard would it be to make the Union stay/make it one country? How difficult will it be for me to establish colonies on Mars?

Which, if your solar system is remotedly like GDWs... could prove the key to Venus and not that bad on Mercury.
It would require quite a bit of diplomatic work, but its doable. As to mars it just depends on how much time and money you sink into it.
I haven't got the Venus map ready yet, but it will be possible to colonize at some point.
I'm not sure if Mercury will be a possibility yet.

@HellHound01 how long does building more industry or CP take? Will we need mod approval to expand our fleets, army or military infrastructure?

Hmmm...
the World river?
3 turns to build a point of Industry or CP. Also three turns to build a Armory, Shipyard, Land Complex, or Ether Shipyard.
You only need mod approval to put a point into the IN or CP building box. You can expand your fleets, armies, and military infrastructure as you wish. For the army and MI it takes a year or less before its complete. For ships, it takes several years to finish a battleship, around 4 for a cruiser, 2 for a frigate, everything else takes a year.
