I made my first start as Hungary. I micromanaged the economy and when I finally found the Freedom button (lol), Independence support from England and France paid off. A huge war against Austria, Germany and Russia ensued, which was won fairly easily. We debuted on the world stage as Great Power #4.

It didn't need the Carolina's to do Reconstruction, those guys were still living the dream of their own country. I finally annexed them, the game ended in the middle of a war to free Canada against their will and we slipped into #1 position in Prestige with that war. Fun was had by all, hehe.

I think I broke the Reconstruction scenario! Lol, so I finally brought all except the Carolina's back into the fold and it launched the Reconstruction stuff. Unfortunately, it included Texas, NM and AZ, who never were part of the civil war, then it Unincorporated all states it deemed Confederate.

It caught me off guard. All the singles that made $1000 had just crested 100 sales so I had just bumped up the supply to 200 units and it still wasn't enough. So I guess I'll need to bump supplies up some more.

Did you see the note attached to the picture? I'm still not clear how blue sky presents

I only point that out because one of the videos you went into where the option check boxes are and then left the screen without unchecking the box that allows the game AI to change your priority list.
