Strategy[]
On start up it's smart to ally one of the bigger countries in your surroundings like Saxony, Lotharingia, Swabia, or West Francia. Then try to contest Cologne and Trier, but be careful they'll most likely have a major ally, like you hopefully have yourself. After your conquest of Cologne and Trier you can turn you focus on The Palatinate, Bar, or Lorraine if they haven't got conquered by Lotharingia or Francia. If you succeed it wouldn't be dumb to try contest Saxony and to conquer the provinces required to form Westphalia.
