   What I lately found to work out if you manage to pull it off is an… interesting way to play the Prussians. You just ignore Europe at the beginning, recruit one east india trading vessel at your port and send the Army you have in east Prussia to the Americas with it. Once you arrive there you wanna take the Inuit province first and after that the Cherokee provinces. That way you can drop the tax on your peasants to minimum due to making money with tradeable goods and quickly grow out villages in Europe before conquering the small fractions there

   Do you recommend using Cavalry that heavily? I only recruit one or two, and focus heavily upon artilery and infantry. I like to use Napoleon tactics, or Blitzkrieg tactics.

   Prussia seems like the best faction to exploit the sale of military access. It is surrounded by many major and minor nations. You can exploit your way to victory

   And question:

   When is the right time to field two full stacks of army in the game if you garrison every settlement?

   You do guides better than other channel I've watched for sure. You have a passion for the game that has helped you understand it to the point of it coming off like a second language. I have 260+ hours and am just learning quite a few things from all your guides actually. Subbed.
   What's your opinion on Darthmod? I feel like I've heard you say it's great in a prior video, but never see you use it. I'm also a bit confused how at the end you are able to have half a stack sit on Vienna and be so confident it's more than enough to deal with threats from the south. Is that because of your confidence in battle? Or will the AI not come at you with full stacks if you don't have a full stack?

   An alternative strategy would be to declare war on Saxony in round one and conquer Saxony, West Prussia and Poland (all of the above are to be done before the end of the first round). That way Poland can't recruit any line infantry for 5 rounds at least and you still are not at war with any of Poland's allies (apart from poor Saxony which you conquer immediately). I have tried this on vanilla vh/vh only so no idea if it works on Darthmod.

   As for all your videos, what difficulty level do you play at?
   Do you actually use cav and melee charges? Above normal difficulty, AI gets crazy morale bonuses, making cav (which relies on morale damage) really ineffective. Even on normal, once they get bayonets, it's really hard to be effective.
   From what I remember the key is spamming canister shot as your dps, and using infantry to protect your canister shot. Like 12 line inf, 6 art, 1 general, 1 cav type armies.
   Usually the biggest challenge was that every AI near you is going to declare war within the first 10 turns, and it's really hard to fight on so many fronts at once. It's especially bad on higher difficulties, as it's not uncommon for Great Britain to attack you no matter where you are on the map. And none of them will even peace out.

    Trade with Britain first then immediately declare war on hannover. If you capture hannover first turn you can often do a land trade route and ally with both Denmark and United provinces. Also I recommend trying to go for India asap as the southern provinces are rich af

    Ally yourself with the minor German states, they'll have to choose between you, and Austria (they usually go with you.) Ally your self with Poland, and slaughter the Austrians in the first 10 rounds, then ally yourself with the British (will help out if Netherlands attack you) after that take the minor states of Germany, and finally destroy the polish with the massive armies you've amassed by then, Denmark is a hard region to attack, and Sweden will always want it. Dont ally yourself with Russia, as they usually are always going to be fighting each other. finally attack the Russians, take their lands, as well as swedish lands

    I love the faction of prussia they have such a great selection of unique units, I plan on starting a new campaign for them, but the issue I faced last time was that I ended up fighting a war on three fronts with West against bavaria, the South with Venice being a pain in my backside and Poland to the east and I pretty much ended up stuck as wuurtemburg joined in later and I couldn't move my Western force anywhere without risking large amounts of territory..

    You can get England to give you the Bahamas for East Prussia and then just take it back from them they never have sailed over to take it back 99% of times I've done it for a colony
