Playing As France
The 100 Years’ War commences in 1337, which coincides with the starting date of EU5. This means that no matter which country you choose, France or England, you will have to face the other in a long and brutal war immediately.
However, it is quite easy to play as France during this war. France has higher levies during this period. Moreover, their military numbers are also generally superior. Therefore, playing as France for the 100 Years’ War is considered the optimal choice.
You can focus on starting early expeditions against England and try to take advantage of your surplus forces. Moreover, you should also divert part of your focus to entering diplomatic alliances. These nations will come to your aid in times of need, while also removing England’s possibilities of getting help.
Playing As England
England has it much rougher than France. Most players have reported that winning the war as England is not easy. However, difficult does not mean impossible. You can win this war if you follow the given steps:
- Focus on London initially. Being your capital, it will increase all nearby buildings’ value.
- Wool will be a great source of income. Try to set up trade routes to export wool to make more money quickly.
- Diplomatic relations will be key to defeating France. You should ally yourself with neighboring nations, who will come to your aid in defensive wars.
- Build up your navy so you can catch any army forces trying to arrive on their ships. Make sure to beat down any small forces that you notice trying to sneak into your provinces.
- Once France is weak enough, you can try to establish a Personal Union.
