Strategy[]

Rise of the Ottomans (1444 Start)[]

When playing as France, your main strategy should be one of defensive unification. The player should aim to unify the smaller states of France under one singular cosmopolitan state, this can be achieved through peaceful or violent means. By the time France is unified, land such as Bordeaux and Calais should be reclaimed from England England so as to increase your trade power in the English channel and the Basque area of France.

Further Expansion[]

As France, further expansion should be made against rival Catholic nations who pose a significant threat towards you; Castile Castile and Aragon Aragon are both good places to start within your conquest to eliminate any opposition.

If you wish to retain strong links with your Catholic neighbors, then you may favor a more adventurous and long term plan for expansion. As France there is always a possibility to invade the smaller and largely insignificant states of the Southern Mediterranean. Countries like Savoy Savoy, Milan Milan, Siena Siena, and Genoa Genoa are rich targets that you should go after once they leave the Holy Roman Empire Holy Roman Empire. From the north of Italy, you have a firm FOA (Forward Operating Area) to press a swift attack south towards Naples Naples. Once Italy has been annexed, you have several options:

1. Attack and conquer North Africa.

2. Utilize your added strength and attack Castile Castile and Aragon Aragon.

3. Invade the Greek Isles through Albania Albania.

All of the above, are viable options for your next plan of expansion and will further your capabilities in Central Europe.
