I wouldn't ally Poland because there is all that Russian culture land in Lithuania that you ideally want for yourself. | ||

They're strong and can help you with the Commonwealth while they're far enough away that you don't want to eat their land untill a lot later. When I played muscovy (quite a while ago) austria turned out to be a usefull ally, it was the first and only time I saw the entire HRE form, which pretty much killed my western expansion  . | ||

doing good as the Ottomans now, not that thats a huge achievement. but ive kinda got getting cbs, waiting on tech to fight, building up manpower for big wars. and not trying to annex giant nations but completely annexing little ones. also i usually wait till a country(serbia wallachia w/e) revolts before i move on to trying to conquer something else this way i dont worry about it in the future is that a good way to play? | ||

probably lost like 5-10 years on the WC from doing that. 360k rebels are probably more than France + Ottomans + Austria could field, and they have my tech which makes them super dangerous. | ||

I basically got a South America and two North Americas. ![[image loading]](http://puu.sh/lJqCr/709b638612.jpg) Absolutely massive. 17 Colonial regions instead of the standard 11. Some of the ocean/sea names are used twice too. | ||

Any way is a good way to play this. Personally, I think I had more fun when I was just chilling and trying to "fulfill my historic fantasy" than when I was powergaming everything. | ||

play a horde and you can have all five! (one-tag here we come? just need to pick a good war and I can start tearing apart Western Europe by feeding Burgundy) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/ib4olrw.png) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/1fhNUq3.png) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/1IfHBvP.png) | ||

I see You are running pretty low for that big country. | ||

Go there to see what's paid and free and then make your decision yourself. I won't buy it but I haven't played a lot of EU4 lately so that's why. I'll pick it up when it's on sale sometime. | ||

It takes you 100 years to conquer a chunk of Asia, Europe, Africa and to take care of remaining natives. I haven't played in ages, but I guess you got the huge amount of monarch points required by razing provinces? | ||
