With this information, we already plot our first expansion route. Though in this case, we can count muscovy as a de-facto enemy of novgorod by just looking at relations. Rivals (as you can see in the pic): us, muscovy, lithuania Novgorod's enemies (as you can see in the pic): tver, (muscovy) Pomerania's enemies (as you can see in the pic): saxony, lГјbeck Let's analyze what their enemies are first. Those bastards, bridges are already burned, let's give them a good ' no u' right? Wroooong. We can see Novgorod and Pomerania as our enemies. We take our time and analyze the rivalries. The first thing you do is not just jump in and have a go, no. It's important to understand what optimal play is and what isn't.ДЄ rather verbose example: You are the livonian Order. I'm not an expert myself, since often I can't be bothered to play absolutely optimal, but that's a different point. About every little detail this game has to offer to you. This fact loses importance the longer the game goes as you, the player, will be able to comfortable snowball away from the AI, not needing to numbercrunch and worry about this stuff.Д«ut till then, you will have to worry. You always have to see the context in which your nation is relative to the others at the beginning. You say you manage to start snowballing your country when other nations strike you? I say, you most probably are far from it. Little things snowball to huge effect over the timespan of the campaign, so it is most important to pay attention in the early game and play optimal.

I will directly mention you, OP, but this can be viewed much more abstract as you, the reader.ДЇirst off, eu4 is a game of nuances. So welcome to my little guide for the reddit post
