I don't really think this is a good place for a handful of incomplete strategies for EU1, so I've cut them and placed them here.

You receive an early rush of explorers (less so
conquistadors) - take advantage of them by founding an early colonial empire in
the Americas, or
India via
Africa.
It is also possible to attack
North AfricanMuslim states and carve out an early empire there.
Fez and
Algiers can be easy takeovers, but
Morocco could pose a threat if you overstretch your resources.
You start off as one of the weaker nations, but manpower for your
military is cheap and plentiful, and the Khanates of
Kazan,
Astrakhan, the
Golden Horde, and
Sibir to the south are very weak. Conquer them as soon as possible. As long as you concentrate on only one at a time, it shouldn't be too difficult. Once you start getting
conquistadors and
colonists (which starts during the reign of
Ivan the Terrible), you can begin exploring and colonizing eastward across
Siberia, towards the
Pacific Ocean.
On the western front, you need to secure a seaport before you can start getting colonists, and the easiest target is
Ingermanland on the
Baltic Sea. Attack the
Teutonic Order and take it from them as soon as you are strong enough. You can also obtain a seaport by defeating
Georgia on the
Black Sea, but they are not only a more formidable opponent, but also a fellow
Orthodox nation, so you will pay a heavy diplomatic price if you attack them.
Cultivate military alliances with
Denmark and
Pskov. The former is a strong natural ally in the early years, and the latter can eventually be diplo-
annexed and made a part of your realm.
Merge proposal
This article is not about the Europa Unversalis series, it's about the video game, so it should contain information only about the video game. --

agree, also this game is notably different in which it is played on the entire world map. while early versions have only part of the globe (europe as the playing field)
