    I plan my first game to be Austria, but as mentioned else where I plan to conquer the Carribean, and let militia hold/try to secure Europe. My main army though will be conquering the carribean.


    Everyone does it different but I always like to change history slighty :)

    I am expecting a long drawn out war between Austria and Prussia tho, just given Jack's swedish report. Mainly because it seems you can't wipe out a nation in five turns anymore :P

    My first action in my Marathas campaign will be to invade England :P

    I think that answers your question nicely.

    Possibly, I will force the English to grow tea, despite England being more or less totally unsuitable. They'll grow it anyway, by Vishnu!

    That whole 'God, King, and Country!' thing will need revising too. From now on, it will be "Matsya, Kurma, Varaha, Narasimha, Vamana, Parashurama, Rama, Krishna, Gautama, Kalki, King and Country!'

    (The Marathas were Hindu, right? I can never keep which Indian states were Hindu and which were Muslim straight.)

    Cool store, bro! I want some ham.
    No ham, pepsi.
    They make deli slices of frozen pepsi now? Awesome!
    You also need to purchase a small freezer for storage of your pepsi.
    It runs on batteries. You'll need a few.
    Uhh, I guess I won't have pepsi then. Do you have change for a twenty?

    ive never liked overseas or far-away places. Too annoying to keep remembering to manage them, plus they'll likely be under attack. I figure I'll just build up my own empire where I am at home or if I have to move to another part of hte world

    As Prussia, I will eliminate Poland as soon as possible. Then I'll hit Sweden and secure Scandinavia, which will provide some relatively secure and easily defendable profit centers. During this time if funds allow my Western borders will be reinforced and a fleet will be built to ensure localized superiority in the Baltic Sea. From there... a slow and steady expansion into Russia...

    I think part of it will be how colonies work.

    I know you will have a govenor and obviously do buildings and units like usual, but I'm curious to see how they play out. Once I see how much I like or dislike them will probably weight heavily on if I use them in my other campaigns or not.

    If they just become a outrageous amount of unrest similar to eastern provinces in RTW then I'll probably just ignore them later on.

    I wonder, as Russia, is it possible to go south, destroy Persia and then conquer India? It should be possible to enter India that way?
    Or is it really the only way you can go to India by sailing around Africa?
