Regional strategy/focus strategy

[hitchens]

Just curious to hear what your "grand strategies" are. I really dont play colonizers so I'm interested in hearing what your strategies in that respect are. I prefers to play land powers, and I like to focus on OP type of tings. For example, playing Sweden and having Brandenburg/Teut/Liv as vassals, but also the other way around. In other words, playing a tag with military focus and then getting more of the same to be ridiculous strong.

Northern Europe is pretty cool. You got Brandenburg, so strong there is no reason to form Prussia. Better to have Teutons as vassal and let them form Prussia. Sweden, give Sweden a few provinces and start musing on what tag you feel like destroying. Livonian Order, boring location but nice bonuses.

But what about the asia/africa/americas, whats going on in that part of the world, what are your preferences?

Sure, give your Vassal the Prussian Monarchy while you limp around with the other normies around you.

From a fashion sense of view, there is no reason to form Prussia as Brandenburg. Forming Prussia is like forming Russia as Muscovy. Ugly color. Brandenburg has enough bonuses, Prussian monarchy..bah.

If Brandenburg and Prussia both exist, Brandenburg can easily get a personal union over Prussia by an event. So you can get some free land by not forming Prussia yourself.
