Colonies, eh?

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?

You can also get to India by walking there across the Middle East

I'm going to sit safely on the British Isles, forging a mighty trading empire and taking nothing to do with Europe until I own the rest of the world! Although I might crush a Jacobite rebellion or two...

I will be playing as Russia - first order of business will be to make sure Sweden knows it's place in the world. Follow that up with a landing in Quebec and circumventing the Cold War

I'll hang around a bit in my Seven Provinces and try to cling on to my colonies at ~~Indonesia~~ Netherlands-Indies. Also, I want Nieuw Amsterdam back. Or I'll play as the Ottomans and kick those damn Austrians from the walls of Vienna!

Just because your a landlocked faction dosn't mean you can't take part in Colonlization if want you to.

I will be playing Austria and go off conquering.

The key is if you are willing to make friends with those who would be historically your rivals. As clearly I can't be historic austria and fight Ottomans, Poland, Prussia, German states, and Spain and still hope for colonies.

It's all about making choices :)
