DonвЂ™t be afraid to take up such an offer. On the other hand, on several play-throughs while testing this guide I was offered a marriage proposal by a general significantly better than Puccio Rossi who comes of age a few turns down the line. Keep moving your Princess towards her destination grabbing up whatever trade rights you can on your way. The reason for this is because the garrison is notably better than the rebel force holed up in Dijon so youвЂ™ll need a stronger force to take it from them, not to mention itвЂ™s a castle and not a Town. Now they are ready to lay siege to Bordeaux the following turn. Move the general out of Toulouse along with a few units to meet up with the army stationed by the nearby river. It should take them more than one turn to reach the siege, but because you laid siege with the army before you combined the two the ram will be ready and waiting the next turn.Дo the same over at Bordeaux. Also, move your general and a unit or of spear militia out of Rheims to bolster your besieging force.

Once you have conquered the Isles you face little threat from the North and are free to expand into either Germany/Northern Italy or Spain. By doing this you are securing your northern border, and have provided yourself an entry to the British Isles, which will also be an early priority target. Removing their castle in Caen is a priority. Meanwhile you need to be mindful of the English encroaching from the north. That is, snatching up all the nearby rebel provinces. Strategically, your first priority will be uniting France.

Spain has the potential to push up into southern France but this is more likely to be the Portuguese as the Spanish are usually busy with the Moors. Denmark is usually not too strong on your borders because to get there it needs to wrestle with the Holy Roman Empire and take the fearsomely defended Bruges. Not all of these factions will present a great threat to you however, England are fairly easily overcome once you have them backed up in Great Britain. Your neighboring factions are England, Portugal, Spain (potentially), HRE, Milan and Denmark (potentially). Luckily though, all that stand between united these settlements are some pesky rebels.

It is not guaranteed steps for success but it should help you set up for a good campaign following turn 13, but feel free to deviate from some of the steps shown above if you feel necessary, not every run of the grand campaign will play the same. Please note that this guide was written for the Very Hard/Very Hard difficulty settings to ensure it covers every aspect of FranceвЂ™s early campaign possible. The guide below is a sort of composite of the best opening moves which I found helped secure all borders of the Kingdom as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Again it was tricky to write because France is surrounded by enemies, and each time I tested a different enemy attacked me on a different front.

In this installment of our вЂOpening MovesвЂ™ guides we deal with France and their conquering of Western Europe.
