[EU4] War Academy IV: Advanced Strategies

In this final video of EU4 the war academy, I discuss some advanced strategies. These include how to fight when outnumbered, how to fight as efficiently as possible, and which enemies to fight in the first place.

[@papisuckmypoosay69]

Another tip I have: This is generally more useful in areas with lots of small nations that get a good amount of small allies. You can win wars you numerically shouldn't by preventing their armies from uniting into one doomstack. you'll want to have more troops than each of their stacks individually (building a few troops over fl is fine) and defeating them. You want to morale wipe them asap and then drop a regiment each on their provinces. Start sieging them down 1 by 1 and boom, you just won a war. On the topic of sieges, you only want to have the number of troops you need to siege the fort + 1 on it, and leave the rest of your stack in a province neighboring it. Saves you manpower, especially in regions with high attrition

[@SuperNintendawg]

Honestly, it just comes with practice. Draw your opponent into a situation where they cant be easily reinforced, then pounce with a larger stack. Then chase down smaller stacks before retreating and do it all again.
