So im playing vic3 with one of my girlfriends and she kicks serious ass. I don’t want to be a drag and have fun with her, so im looking for ways to better play. Im russia she’s china. Just general tips would be nice. I want to do the usual and reform quickly and expand my economy.
For Brazil:
Put the 6 and 8 size armies on defend front order and use the size 4 army to naval invade grao para, then move everyone down to crush Rio grande, you can naval invade them too if you want
In general:
Don’t attack unless you have overwhelming strength (30+), or you are more capable of sustaining attritional warfare
Spam generals to get pillagers, arty commanders, and offensive strategists
Use heavy barrage and pillage over the normal advance whenever possible
If your opponent has a coastal capital attempt to naval invade it once they dedicate their army to a frontline
Navies are king, you want to have army parity with your rivals, but you need naval supremacy. Raiding convoys not only destroy your opponents economy but also directly stop their army from resupplying at all. They will start to take heavy attention and will get pushed out even by 1 irregular
