Some hints on what to do in starting moves.

Helo, although I'm a veteran AGEOD player (I have played and own every AGEOD game) I would not call myself a good player.

I want to start a campaign in WON but as one of the smaller factions: Prussia, Spain or the Ottoman empire.

An tips on what to do? As Prussia I just got bored as nothing was happening and France kept refusing my state visits, I didn't want to get into a war with them so just watched them take down Austria. than stopped playing.

As Spain I besieged Gilbraltar until Nelson destroyed my navy and also gav eup...

As Ottoman I waited...didn't build any troops for lack of funds and well same result... I'd like some guidance. I find To end all wars was much easier to get a hold of than this game.

As Prussia, you can declare war against Minors. Control regions. Use Habeus Corpus or Martial Law to increase loyalty in those regions and start annexing. For countries such as Saxony, which are favorable to you, I'm not sure what you can do with them. Work on increasing your relationship to the point they are at 100 and then, not sure. They are a big minor and it would be nice to get a hold of their economy. Someone else might be able to help with Saxony

Ottomans can take North Africa or possibly push on Russia or take parts of Austria while Nappy is smashing them. Again, use Habeus and Martial on regions next to yours and start annexing.

Spain should take Portugal and then make nice with Nappy or go the other direction, degrade the relationship and join the coalition.

Thanks, seems I have to be more agressive, I tended to jsut keep the peace until someone made a move.
