Prussia strategy

From EU3 Wiki

[edit] Prussia

Prussia is the key to German unification, as it was in history. Focus on you land tech and enlarging your military and manpower. Prussia is in a position for the most powerful country it will have to face before German unification to be Brandenburg; and that's good

[edit] Alliances

Try to avoid confronting the Russian of Scadinavian countries so negotiate an alliance with Poland and maintain a 150 relation score. Then, because your focus is Germany, ally yourself with France to protect your western flank if Burgundy or the Netherlands attack.

[edit] Colonies

Now that you have unified Germany, look to colonies. I suggest Africa since the Americas are probably by this time all French, Spanish, and British(not to mention the Aztecs and the Incas). Portugal might have some African provinces but their hold on them are weak. So a war against Portugal, and their allies Castile, can gain you African, American, and even Iberian provinces. Essepecially if you have France fighting with you.
