      @@someguy6651 My stable opening: force declare war on a Ireland nation without allies. Take most of the lands on the Ireland. Then go back to Germany finish your first mission. Then see if u can get Poland as your ally. Beat Denmark (ask for money and release one of their PU country) or wait it out for 5 years. Then go back to Scotland. Denmark war could be really hard if u are not out-numbering them 1 to 2 (allies can be quit stupid, try to let them siege Denmark first instead of Sweden, otherwise they might peace out) Rest, integrate subjects, eventually take England, Denmark, Sweden and Norway. Then peasants war, religious wars. Finally, disband HRE/or sneak in to Russia. Colonize NA if u want to. (I war England with Portugal as ally. Got to Iberia that way)
