![]() ![]() I also condense the two starting fleets into one and use that to block the French ports, to forestall an invasion of England (unlikely at this early date anyway). Otherwise, I leave it at two armies in northern France. A strategy I have attempted is to place two armies in England's possessions in northern France and one in the English provinces in southern France, if I can recruit enough generals by the time the "Surrender of Maine" decision happens. What are your strategies to make the war winnable? In 1444, England begins with three armies. Originally posted by Amphisbaena:Thank you. (fully occupying Scotland for 5 years would give you 100% war score too, if you don't want to give up the French land but also don't want to fight them and can deal with a bunch of war exhaustion. You can separate peace France out by giving them back some of their French cores, just use your navy to prevent them from landing troops in England and you'll easily get Scotland. Just attack them as soon as you finish the mission for a subjugation CB against them. Plus if this is what you want to do then Scotland is easy. That's exactly what I did during my first England game when I was still learning the game (actually ended up allying France too). It's not a good strategy, but there's nothing wrong with it if that's how you want to play. They can't protect Scotland if they're your subject.ģ. Don't worry about Scotland until you have France under control. Just need to occupy Paris, could white peace them after finishing the mission for a short truce and then pounce with the PU CB once the truce is up.Ģ. You might be able to call them in by promising them land.Īlternatively if you're not confident in taking France on by yourself, you could always just sell the province to Provence or Brittany to avoid the event altogether, while building relations/favours with your allies to attack at a later date instead. Although if you really want it to be easy, try and restart until you have a game where Burgundy rival France, but not you. So what's your strategy for the England 1444 start?ġ. Wars in Ireland also seem difficult, due to alliances between the various one-province states in Ireland and the possibility of Scotland joining in. ![]() Is it a viable strategy to surrender Maine, accept the losses of French territories in the war that inevitably follows, get past the War of the Roses (if it occurs), concentrate on expanding into Ireland, and otherwise remain peaceful and focus on preparations for colonial expansion later? Attempting this, I quickly lose England's great power status, while my income and general development seem slow. Is it preferable to attempt an early war with Scotland anyway, or should I leave Scotland alone for the time being, look to develop and expand elsewhere (Ireland), and subjugate Scotland later?ģ. Second, how to deal with Scotland? In all my games, Scottish independence is guaranteed by France. In my recent games, I have not been able to build up strong-enough ties with my allies, such as Castille, Portugal, or Austria, to bring them into a war, and I have not been able to win against France on my own? This makes it impossible to complete the respective missions in the mission tree.Ģ. ![]() First, what your preferred choice for the "Surrender of Maine" decision? Go to war with France or surrender Maine? If the former, how to win the war with France that immediately begins? If the latter, what to do with the remaining territories in France? France, as well as other powers, will quickly acquire claims on these and/or go to war. I in variably end up boxed in, in a number of England 1444 campaigns that I have attempted over the last few days:ġ. What is your strategy for the 1444 start, in the current version of the game? This has been discussed in this forum and in the Paradox forum before, but the strategies for the past version of the game do not seem to work well for me. I am just starting to play as England, a country I had never spent much time on before. ![]()
