I'm super anal about the early game and getting what I feel is the start that I want. I probably restarted Portugal about 20 times before I finally played a whole campaign.

after doing the WC thing a few times in multiple Paradox games (EU 4, Rome Imperator, Stellaris) I think I find it more interesting to play the smaller nations with their mission trees.
Its more dangerous (you can actually be curb stomped by any great power if not careful, gives you more investment in making the right decisions and makes the missions more fun
Played some of the Baltic missions last night for Riga and really enjoyed them.

My greatest acheivement was winning the 100 years war as England, which is almost impossible.
If you can get through all the rebellions over the next 50 years to consolidate the personal union, England+France can easily take out Spain and now you can try to solo the HRE.

I've played enough England games that if I DON'T win the 100 years war I restart. I don't find winning that war hard at all if you have the right starting setup. (Alliances, advisors, etc)
Edit: Maine is rightful English clay!!!

Yeah, I started doing Ironman to help myself from save/reloading so much.

I only play paradox games ironman. Getting your dick kicked in and trying to cope/adjust makes you a better player.

I'm not a good player, but I was following a guide and it was very hard before a patch and impossible after. So version is probably really important too.
It's those French death stacks!

Just work your way through the achievements list. The wiki has a nice page that lists their difficulty and sometimes tips. I've found it a great way to play nations I wouldn't consider otherwise:

Maybe I'll try that. I generally despise achievements as busy work, but they did add some extra enjoyable play time on the Total War: Warhammer games.Just work your way through the achievements list.

Well, its not quite WC, but Imperator's map is that of the entire world known to antiquity, so from Britain to India.I didn't even know you could do a WC in Imperator!

I play this game entirely too much. And most of that as Byzantium. I'm a GD expert now in beating the Ottomans in the first war by 1455 and its rockets from there. I'm also found of Persia and going Zoroastrian with them.
Hate to say it, those are the only two countries i've ever played.. Its just such a joy taking over Turkish provinces and seeing the names flip to greek.

I’ve had France just get wiped out in a game. They are super strong, but so are a lot of their neighbors. Bad alliance roll for France and it’s downhill from there. It’s not as inevitable as the fall of Constantinople. I’ve never seen the AI prevent that, though I have seen it come close with a particularly big crusade that kicked off practically at the start of one of my games.

This game went tits up pretty fast. Was having a nice little run as Brandenburg, modestly destroying my neighbors at a pace slow enough not to piss anyone off too much. In the middle of a war I suddenly got the burgandy inheritance just as they are getting their shit pushed in by france. Wasn't aiming for that at all, and being at war with France is no bueno.
Then I guess I hit the wrong button, so now I'm at war with Austria on most of the HRE too. Time to run around behind enemy lies and hope I can annoy them enough to not get completely murdered.
