I played a ton of England starts during the last weeks to prepare for a world conquest with Rule Brittania and so far the strategy seems fine for the new patch as well: Went a good 2000 in debt, worth it for a PU over one of the most dangerous contries in the game. Was conscious of getting France dealt with before he got his 'Elan'.ĥ years later smashed France for the PU, Burgundy got involved mid war but the inheritance fired and they were split between France and Austria, made things a little more complicated but just means I have a bigger France to try and placate. Shaving a good 4 years off my overall truce with France. My white peace deal with Provence proved to be a good idea as I was able to drag France back to war 9 years before our truce would be up, white peacing the whole war out within a month (Provence was already fully sieged by Brittany and Papal state due to excommunication). I allied Aragon, declared war on France almost immediatly, concentrated on Scotland to kick them out first and then moved into France itself held them at war till I could grab the mission that gave me enforce union cb, peaced out for forts, especially the one covering Paris.

Begin the process of fabricating claims on Irish minors, going to war with them (preferably only one at a time) with your Irish vassal, and then balancing out annexing lands directly and feeding your Irish vassal. Improve relations until you can vassalise themĩ. If you have a spare diplomatic relation slot ally an Irish minor, preferably one that is rivaled to any other Irish minors neighbouring your Irish province of Pale. Build your navy up to force-limit, focussing on transports and heavy shipsĨ. Get rid of the other random fort in/near Wales. Build another fort next to the other one on the Scottish border. Return all of your French lands except CalaisĦ. Set focus to admin, so you can rush Exploration ideasĥ. RM every ally you have so you can get an heir, which is essential to stopping the WotRĤ. Ally Castile, keep the Portugal alliance and if you can ally Austria and/or Burgundy (basically every major nation that dislikes France)ģ. Rival France and whoever Castile is rivaled withĢ. My usual strategy - and I've played England more than any other nation so it's pretty solid - is like this, from the very beginning:ġ. Do you have a more granular sort of guide you can point me too:
