I dont have much of an early strategy, portugal kicked the moors out of iberia for me and then i took out all of portugal and kept iberia for myself, i think the pope may have excommunicated them instead of me allowing me to get it easy enough.

then i didnt expand anywhere too afraid to go into europe and africa didnt really seem worth it so i built some forces and waited till i got to the new world. but when i pretty much got there i was using all my finance to keep my armys there so i could take it all and use the gold to fund me back in europe then go on a rampage, but the french germans and english all attacked me and made a big alliance so i had to hold them off i managed ok since it was only the french who really attacked me much and i then acquired a ceasefire with england and i took most of france but the inner most provinces.

i now have all america but the aztec part and the alliance against me isnt going anywhere so im gonna take rest of america get some cash and take out the rest of them, all 3 of them got excommunicated lol.


my armys consist of musketeers, tercio pikemen and cannons. there great to use in field battles and i usualy wait out sieges so i can take them out when they run out the gates.
