I am thinking about getting empire total war and came up with this strategy for the long campaign. I would like to know what you're opinions are and if there is any way to improve it. This assumes that one is playing as one of the mainland European countries which start with absolute monarchy. At the beginning I would build a very large military(especially army). To pay for it I would raise taxes. Then I would use this army to conquer my neighbors and gain dominion in that part of Europe. Then in the second phase I would focus on a large navy and use it to establish control of trade routes, I would also use this to send my army overseas to colonize India and the New world and build fortresses to consolidate my mainland empire. Then in the third phase I would begin focusing on industry, roads finishing my expansion to get the necessary number of regions.
