Ah, but the army only raises if you pay taxes. biggrin.gif
So, just dump everything and trade with custom houses, simply keep everything in ships and wagons so the king's accounts cannot find it to tax (which is a LOT of micromanagement), or don't trade with your homeland...

Nope, the Royal Forces growth even when trading with custom houses and i am very sure of this last. Maybe just a bug that consider the growth according to tax without care of custom houses effect. I never trayed to stop sell of goods from America and be by my own.
