Hint: You don't have to build factories ever in your wool provinces. I have langedoc, guyenne, normandy, lille, antwerp, friesland and sardinia max textiles and farms 5. Only sardinia can't convert all it's wool into textiles and the factories in normandy,lille and antwerp have lot's of wool to textiles capacity to spare. As far as war with britain... Are you playing the mod where you get napoleon? If get napoleon and your going to be territorially greedy, expect war with britain. If you use napoleon wisely as a force to maintain the balance of power and only acquire a few good wool producing provinces you should be able to maintain the peace with britain. Generally I find that strasbourg, luxembourg, aosta and turin can produce more than all the iron I want without building factories. So it's not high priority I'll build factories over time. For labour production I find it better to use le mans and nantes. ie the 2 textile provinces who suck at producing luxuries and spice. Start building 2 roads in le mans and 3 roads in nantes allocate full labour to develoment. That increases max pop by one. Then focus le mans on building factories to 10 and nantes on building docks to 10. Than le mans starts building barracks to 10 and nantes starts building factories to 10 than barracks to 10. Then you can shift labour allocation from development to labour production. Your shooting for high labour production with max morale production of cav, arty, inf and ships. The level 10 factories max arty morale and speed up unit production and produce labour.
