Strategy[edit]

The below is one of many player suggested strategies for Munich. Bear in mind, due to the dynamic nature of the game, it may unfold differently for other players.

Starting situation[edit]

Munich starts with a 2 2 2 ruler and 1 0 1 heir. The ruler is young enough to disinherit and try for a better heir. It has a force limit of 10, which is significantly higher than its neighbours. Together with its vassal Passau early wars are feasible, without neccessarily needing allies.

Forming Bavaria[edit]

Munich immediately gets an event which grants a Restoration of Union casus belli on both Landshut and Ingolstadt. Their alliances tend to be weak, so it may be possible to attack right away. As soon as both are under a personal union (or vassalized), Bavaria can be formed, integrating them for free. This can be done as early as 1455, without triggering a coalition. Austria may interfere during the wars by enforcing white peace, if possible ally them to prevent this.
