>1890 start
>get a 20 year disarmament conference right at 1981 that makes me have to stop building ships and scrap a decent amount of my starting navy because lol fuck you
>click next turn for a few years
>France decides they want war
>have to throw start spamming ships
If I were smarter, I would have ordered some ships then halted construction with 1 turn left so I could have materialized a navy in the event of war. Anyways, 1 battle in and I sunk a French armored cruiser so I guess I'm winning.
