I'd like to read the replies on this one, since I'm currently playing Brandenburg. Raised my bb rating at the start by annexing Saxony, and went bankrupt twice already. The reason for going bankrupt....took five loans and couldn't repay. Things are mellowing out now.:)

World Conquest can be done with anyone as far as I can tell. I've read AAR's about world conquest by one province minors. Obviously, that would require some work to achieve that. I've never done WC myself, every time I try, I lose interest once my power is superior to everyone else's combined...its just no fun for me after that.

Brandenburg is a strong country. Its surrounded by tons of rich provinces and as soon as firepower surpasses shock value in combat, their default leader rating of 3 in firepower makes them virtually unbeatable in battle. Usually, my first priority is conquering Pommerania to get those ports.

Once (if) you hit the 1700's with them they are unbeatable. Walking around Europe with Frederick the Great killing off armies almost double your size makes Brandenburg attractive to anyone. I like to play them in the packaged scenarios, rather than the GC or IGC because I never get to the 1700's playing as anyone, I usually quit and start over before hand.

I've played 4 games, finished two (as England and Brittany), and got all the way to WC with the latter before 1570. Got pretty close with England, but concentrated more on colonization than conquest. If a 3 province minor can conquer every nation before 1570, any nation can go WC.

thanks

either edit the game files or get a download of the Improved Grand Campaign (IGC). should be a recent link for the latter somewhere on this board, and there is lots of info elsewhere on modding the game as well.

the search function is your friend.

The IGC has a setup tool (don't remember it's name) where you get to set things as where some CoTs should be and also drop-down windows allowing you to change which nations are playable/unannexable. Set your choice nation there and leave the rest empty and you can play your nation and annex anyone :)

Its just called IGCConfigure. Easy to recognize among the other icons because it is just a blue box instead of anything creative.
