it is hard to destroy the artillery/walls, if you can't even get close :(

Sappers can apparently dig tunnels, which would allow them to get close enough to walls to destroy them. Or something. I've never used them, but the read-me mentions them in a bugfix.
Sappers can dig tunnels. You can only move two spaces a turn(and have to move them one space at a time), and then they can dynamite the walls. I think they promptly get shot to pieces by militia, or some other unimportant issue.

A truly Dwarven battle strategy!  We must field tons of sappers!

Seriously, how many people here haven't used dwarven mining offensively?

I haven't. Because I rarely even give a crap about the walls. and at the end of the tunnel lies nothing but a hailstorm of concentrated bullets by everyone.

Decided to start playing this game.

Ace and Hina bordered each other, Hina being my ally. Despite Hina's naval superiority, Ace's army was just too powerful, gaining much of Hina's territory. Then my troops landed on Ace's undefended southern coast. Pushing up through Ace, I have now conquered everything but the capital city, which is heavily entrenched. I have the most territory out of all the great powers.

My industry is rated as fair. This game trolls so hard.

Finished my game. As usual, my plans didn't hold. Instead of fighting the Prussians to a standstill, I accidentally trapped most of their army in a pocket in the Netherlands. So I just forged ahead and took every single of their provinces. I then used my now huge army to take over Spain, Southern Italy and the British colonies in the Mediterranean (Sweet, sweet oil).

I also took over Morrocco as well as Denmark as colonies, but Austria took over Northern Germany.

At this point Austria had declared war on Britain, to seize a couple provinces in Egypt and Sweden. Britain and Russia, having seen their colonies taken over in a matter of months sued for peace. I accepted, having enough clout to win the Governor's vote.

However, Austria just wouldn't let Europe be peaceful. I allied with Britain, trying to push Austria into accepting a peace, but they wouldn't. So I took them over ( At this point I had several millions $ and was building over 20 wagons a turns to bring in the spoils). My armies were taking 4-5 of their provinces a turn.

After that I allied with Russia as well, and ended up winning the Governor's vote by something like 150 to 20.

As far as I know, the Industry rating is based soley on the upgrade levels of your factories. It only goes up if you expand your factories, even if you can't utilize them to their maximum potential.
