'''Ireland''' is a formable nation in the British Isles. It is usually created from one of the eight Irish OPMs, and is a good step up for them. Unlike many other formable nations, however, it does not guarantee being anything more than a regional power. With only nine provinces that the formation affects, Ireland can be one of the weaker nations. That said, it does have a chance to be strong, especially in the [[New World]].

This strategy should work until all of Ireland (minus the Pale and any minors allied to {{flag|Scotland}} or {{flag|England}}) have been annexed. Declare on the minors when their ally is enveloped in a war, and if they don't join it is easy to annex them, until you own all of Ireland except the Pale. When England is in a war and in debt, declaring for the Pale as a wargoal and sitting on Ulster can allow you to defeat English armies trying to cross easily due to crossing penalties and defensive terrain. After a few battles and time, England should be willing to peace out, allowing the player to unite the Emerald Isle.

One of the fairly unique advantages to playing as an Irish minor is proximity to the virgin territory of the Americas. If attacking England is not an option the Irish can flee to the [[New World]]. Having a [[capital]] outside Europe as a Western country provides a huge advantage: every colonized province on that continent will start with no [[autonomy]] and will not form [[colonial nations]]. However, only single province countries are allowed to move their capitals to a different continent. This can be worked around by releasing one of the other minors as a [[vassal]] and selling them any European provinces once there is a foothold on another continent. Colonial nations will form after coring five provinces in one colonial region so move the capital before that.

Only {{flag|Connacht}} can get sufficient colonial range at diplomatic tech level 7 to reach Greenland without a Navigator advisor (and with a [[navigator]] their first colony can be in Newfoundland). Since {{flag|Scotland}} will rival {{flag|Norway}} it may be possible to take and core an Icelandic province and skip the Greenland colony. Any location in Gulf of St Lawrence makes a good capital, as trade can be transferred there from anywhere in North America. The Caribbean has the highest base [[tax]] and is guaranteed to have rich trade goods. Be wary of setting up in a location that will soon put Ireland in proximity to {{flag|Spain}} or {{flag|Portugal}} as they will not be shy about attacking when Ireland is still small.

With this route, England might follow in Irish footsteps and start colonizing near. Remember to seize a not-fully developed colony in a war then send a [[colonist]] there to automatically change [[religion]] and [[culture]]. Be wary of the English navy and the possibility of England sending transports across the Atlantic Ocean. Settling in a few locations can minimize the harm they can do.

Ireland is a formable nation in the British Isles. It is usually created from one of the twelve 1444-starting Irish OPMs, and is a good step up for them. Unlike many other formable nations, however, it does not guarantee being anything more than a regional power. With only thirteen provinces that the formation affects, Ireland can be one of the weaker nations. That said, it does have a chance to be strong, especially in the New World.

Please help with verifying or updating this section. It was last verified for version 1.29.

In order to form Ireland, the player may start as any of the Irish minors. However, a start as Flag of Kildare Kildare (due to having the highest development in the area) or Flag of Desmond Desmond (due to having excellent military focused national ideas) is most recommended. For both nations, a good general is crucial to deal with the oft-seen Irish minors with one ally. Quickly declaring war on any minors that the player has a border with that have no allies, the player can rapidly stackwipe them and siege down their capital fort. Full annexation with money is advised. When facing the aforementioned two allied minors, a good strategy is to deal with one at a time, stackwiping them and leaving one unit on the province in order to prevent them from recruiting any more armies. Subsequently, the player can wait, recover, and stackwipe the other minor. Then it is a simple task to siege both of them down, and annexing both. This strategy should work until all of Ireland (minus the Pale and any minors allied to Flag of Scotland Scotland or Flag of England England) have been annexed. Declare on the minors when their ally is enveloped in a war, and if they don't join it is easy to annex them, until you own all of Ireland except the Pale. When England is in a war and in debt, declaring for the Pale as a wargoal and sitting on Ulster can allow you to defeat English armies trying to cross easily due to crossing penalties and defensive terrain. After a few battles and time, England should be willing to peace out, allowing the player to unite the Emerald Isle.
