Player notes&hints

Rome

You are Rome, the Great Ancient Empire. Play strong for the strong prevail.

Carthage

The key to taking out Rome lies in Lombardy. Make it a top priority.

Macedonia

Alexander the Great isn't here yet but you lead a capable country. Your Companion cavalry is very powerful, use it wisely.

Egypt

Chariots. Bruuuuuum. Oh, and by the way. Die.

Seleucids

You're useless, face it. Die.

-===Austria===
+===Rome===
-If Turkey & Russia fight, Austria has several options. Attacking France is tempting, but if Turkey and Russia come to peace, Austria might endup in serious trouble. Alliance with Prussia is imperative, as usual.
+You are Rome, the Great Ancient Empire. Play strong for the strong prevail.
-===Britain===
+===Carthage===
+The key to taking out Rome lies in Lombardy. Make it a top priority.
-Borderline boring. Sit back, look for an opportunity to destroy a (French) fleet and build up. Nevermind peace of Amiens. It is (likely) SO far away in the future, that you can build your army to full size and lose it in battles all over again. Several times.
+===Macedonia===
+Alexander the Great isn't here yet but you lead a capable country. Your Companion cavalry is very powerful, use it wisely.
-Don’t forget that Russia/Austria/Turkey could grow to such a force that you must treat them like “France”.
+===Egypt===
+Chariots. Bruuuuuum. Oh, and by the way. Die.
-===France===
+===Seleucids===
+You're useless, face it. Die.
-Sacre bleu! They are big and you are small! This is not the France of 1805! Think defense. If Austria or Prussia attacks (or both!), you might be better off surrendering early. Bide your time, France will rise. And pay attention to the revolution. It is not all bad.
-===Prussia===
-Weak – yes. Surrounded by stronger countries – yes. Don’t lose your army. Get your share of Poland in co-operation with someone else or it will be too expensive. Other than that, fight only when you know you are going to win with light losses. All manpower you can sock up for later is like money in the bank.
-===Russia====
-War with Turkey is expensive, but you have no choice. Russian army is by far the strongest on board, but you are missing key elements of your money and manpower base. Beat on Turkey until he submits, then the focus must be Poland.
-===Spain===
-Good news is France won't bother you for a long while. Bad news is, Britain is pretty much free to do what he wants. Turkey is way too strong early in the game and minors are all somehow unreachable but maybe Papacy is reachable. Think defence. No, think turtle. Spain can't afford any adventurism early on.
-===Turkey===
-Oh yes! Muslim power! Look at Austria tremble when you threaten with war. Bad news is, you are at war with a monster Russia. If you can win that war, dominant status will eventually be your reward. The cost for trying is likely to be high on PPs, but if you can stay afloat on PPs, you will eventually wear them out and win. You are not outnumbered. Money is still a serious problem.
