England:

Win HYW :) and start with vassal scottland mission at the same time :)
Evacuate your french troops (brittany military access). After this, kill with 14 units stack the costal sieges and finish french of, when they are low on units. Easy going.
After this, i start diplomaty game by becoming HRE Empire.
First idea diplomaty

Austria:

Day 1 DOW against turks, getting bulgaria as vassal and one province there. DOW byzantine after forging a claim, get them as vassal and feed them big. at same time, normal HRE diplomaty game, hope for burgundy king death event.
First idea diplomaty

Ottoman:
day 1, declare war against your anatoly cores. War against Qara, for getting Iraq and Persian province, create vassal. now, vassal byz and feed them with there cores + gerogia lands. Go the mission line for marmelucks. get fleet basing right from marocco and start colonial game.
First idea Exploration for Quest of the new world

As for England, same as yours.

Ayutthaya:

Fabricate claim on Malacca and grab it as soon as you can, vassalize it, sell two Sunni provinces to it to prevent religious issues before getting the religious ideas. Otherwise Aceh will get it and it can be very annoying since they're pretty much the only even-sized rival in the region. Integrate Khmer as soon as possible, and vassalize Pegu and Lan Xang before they expand, ASAPly - they're right sizes for vassalization in one go, Lan Xang requiring a little over 90% so if they take one more province you're looking at two wars. Do the same to Dai Viet and Champa if you're not afraid of going over the diplo limit and stab hit since they're the right size to vassalize in one go as well, and while it hurts your DIP points, you can be at peace and annex them at your leisure while zerging the vassal army into Shan. First idea diplomacy or exploration.

Under a human control, it is literally possible to take the whole of Indochina in about 50 years if you hurry, though you probably don't want to hurry too much. You know, the coalitions and stuff. But given 100 years, it should be definitely possible.

Ethiopia:

Vassalize everything in sight, as soon as you can, take a province in Arabia to produce Muslim units but don't integrate anything as you need the vassal army to have a chance against the Mamluks since your units suck. Once the Ottomans come to the Mamluks, join in. First idea exploration: find Europeans and ally them before Ottomans DoW you.

Chimu:

Exit the game. :)

Why would you waste time feeding Byzantium when you should be fully annexing them so you can hit the 'move capital to constantinople, convert it, shift it, and gain 6 base tax' decision? Most of their cores are your cores anyway.

I declare war on everything in the area holding my cores as fast as I can DOW them except Aq Qoyunlu or whoever it is. Annex, Annex, Annex, Annex, Annex, Annex before any of them form alliances. Ally with no-one, especially not Crimea. Take the Levant quest, wait for manpower to regen, fill out army with all the income that just shot up thanks to the re-acquisitions. Attack Mamluks, take whatever those two provinces east of Cairo are that will cut their territory in half. Everything on your side is now a 'colony'. Maybe they allied with Hedjaz or Najd or Tripoli or someone. Force vassalize whoever they allied with, especially if it's Tripoli, or slap them out of the war. Core those two you took. Attack them again in 5 years, annex the entire Levant in one go thanks to colony costs. Release Syria, enjoy the angry Muslims from your 300 AE gain or whatever. Core the cheap ones and sell the others to Syria as you can. Work down the Red Sea, crush the Persian area, take out the other Greek / Cretan / Cyprus / Naxos / whatever islands that are left. Annex the Athens you were forced to take from Byz.

Ming
DOW against Manchu using mission. Ally and marry with ayutthaya. Getting half of Manchu without building a core. Korea will alliance and form coalition against you with Manchu. DOW Korea and vassalize Manchu then sell provinces back. Then DOW Dai Viet with Ayutthaya and vassalize. After truce DOW Korea again and annex in 2 times and feed Manchu. After all these, it's about time to have lvl4 admin tech. Get the idea and go west, then westernize. Just use your colony to block the Russians from coming to siberia, and enjoy your strongest blob.

England
Almost the same... although I do more colonization to build "the empire on which the sun never sets".

Simply, you do not want 300 AE against your asian neighbour, 300 AE means, they will join every coalition against you at the moment you change your view from asia back to good old europe.

When you see this picture, you realise, that maya are already my vassal, byz is feeded, but is ready for anny. AQ will be now annexed. IRAQ is finish an annex will start after byz. Persia will be feeded in a war against TIMUR. An marmelucks i need 2 more wars to finish them off. And the only military coaltion against me are marmeluck and allies, nobody else.

After marmelucks and persia, i will attack france and dismatel them and and get my foothold in europe.

If you get to much early AE, you will crumble later in your expansion in the 16 century

Wrong. You destroy them completely and the AE they gained is meaningless. Coalition = so what? The Qoyunlus were joining in and dropping out, so was Yemen / Adal / whoever. Mamluks had hundreds of points of AE and simply got annexed repeatedly, so who cares? The AE is relatively localized so earning 300 in Egypt didn't even faze the Balkan neighbors and only moderately angered the Anatolians who were still around.

20630AB1A887E034C103A03CD3A547BAB03072EB


And I repeat, I still don't see why you would even bother feeding Byzantium some crappy islands when you are passing up the Constantinople decision and your core times and costs are so cheap combined with free claims from missions.

That sounds fun! I may try that!

It is SO much fun. Especially with the new patch. Though you may want a fleet that can carry your entire european army once it starts getting large, as France/ Austria/ Burgundy have a habit of throwing men at you, and it's good to be able to boat them to America to allow them to recover...

Declare on Albania and send ships to blockade, then vassalize them. Land troops in Albania and wait for them to build a regiment, then use Skanderbeg's 5/5/5 amazingness to roll around the Balkans vassalizing everyone. Beat off Venice's attempts to take Albania and demand some islands, then declare on the Ottomans for Epirus.

Peace out for all your Greek provinces without losing substantial manpower, then go on a new vassalization spree around Anatolia.

BRussia (Brunei):

Fabricate claims on and vassalize Makassar -> Malacca -> Aceh (2 wars) -> Majapahit. During that time, get to Dip 3 and save the rest, get to Adm 4 asap. Pick Exploration, get fleet basing from Manchu, and start a colony in Siberia. Move your capital north so you can colonize farther inland and block Russia north of the Uzbek. Colonize the Cape of Good Hope to Siberia and get fleet basing rights from African countries to set 1 colony next to Spain/Portugal, Westernize ASAP. New world colonies might make you richer, but also attract colonial wars (long, boring, worthless) from Spain/GB/France, so they're risky. Keep the Ming complacent while you conquer the Hordes and try to ally the Ottomans. Turn to the Ming and absorb. Spend the rest of the game liberating the Motherland from the heathens.
