Ralegh's tips on starting a new game

[mavraamides]

One other tip that I use in almost all conquest games:

Once you've started a certain side and implemented this excellent list of tips, save
the game off so you can use it as your starting point over and over.

For example, let's say you start a game as Austria / normal diff / normal campaing.

After getting everything set perfectly, save the game as AustriaNormalNormal. Going forward
save it under a different name.

Then next time you want to play Austria, just load that game and everything will be all set up.

Just picked up the game last night so this is very helpful. Didn't even see that it was sticky before and I must've looked at these boards 100 times >_<

Hi!

I'd also like to chime in and thank you for your tips and guides!

That's a lot of work you put in making those documents.

Well done!

d) go to the Set Policy screen, and adjust the trading defaults (whether you control this manually or with the adviser, set this screen - it will save you time and effort!). For example, Prussia might be willing to export horses, iron, wool, and spices and want to import money, luxeries, and wine.

I'm feeling incrediby dense... where can I find the Set Policy screen?

It on the menu that appears when you right click on the strategic map.

Hey folks it's some time since I played but in the past I always tried to trade "respect neutrality of province x" for a long term alliance with, say, Turkey. When Raleigh says make treaties -- this is a part of the game you must not ignore.
