Some players use loans very successfully, using the money to expend tremendous and make a fortune throw war and conquest.
But I agree, in real life, in modern day, a national loan can be suicidal. It is the example of my country, that took in a year more then 50 billions euros as loans. But we are not using the money to expend (EU3 stile) or just to expend the economy (province improvements), we use the money to pay more debts.
This is something simulated in EU3 too, if you can't pay a loan, you automatically take another one, and so one until you reach bankruptcy. Nice future... :wacko:

Don't declare war on a nation you want to fight with but on their weaker allies or vassals.
My ~20% inflation (and counting) Italian empire is inclined to disagree.
Austrians and Burgundians are(were) a far bigger danger to survival than inflation.
That war is an expensive and, usually, vain way of achieving your objectives (have into account that IRL people is smarter than AI)
History, who has not gone scrolling through time watching as provinces change hands and empires rise and fall. Going to wikipedia to read up on specific battles or generals etc etc. The game may or may not be quite 100% accurate but it arouses interest in what actually happened in the era you are playing in.
There is no truth is history,but there is vengeance in EU.
That's why my very first game was as Lithuania,and I raped Poland before doing anything else.
And,of course,
a weak backstab can be much more deadly than huge direct approach..

I learned that France must be destroyed at all costs as quickly as possible, but since Burgundy doesn't exist anymore we're screwed.
I learned that Confucius is the reason the Chinese hadn't conquered the world and evolved into pure energy by 1410.
That it's a good idea to attack a nation that has just revolted because it has not made any alliances.
If your first child is even remotely talented, he will die. Your next child will be a moron.
More often than not, the second child will bump off the first.
Toddlers are scheming, backstabbing little suckers.
People under foreign rule will always dream to revolt and unite with their compatriots but they will again look to revolt after unification if their mother land doesn't have a core on their houses.
On the other hand distant unrelated people will quietly accept foreign rule if their country was legitimately inherited ,
