Serbia,Albania and Wallachia. And hope for them to attack Albania which is guaranteed by Venecia.
So did anyone played the new dlc? With this new mission system they just showed us how lazy they were the past few years. Only fun nations that have campaigns are Kebab,France,England,Russia,Spain and Byzantium with their dlc.

Also Austria, and PLC,but you need time for them. In the latest patch,kebab declared a few years in the game. It was really annoying and didn't wanted to restart 20 times to get it right. Tag switched,bankruptcy and white peace,few years later they were minor power eaten by all. After that it was great game,had to play with a Timur,qura and mamluk hugbox. It is really sad how the game became that predictable and sammy,gone are the days that i meet Theodoro at the gates of mosul while playing as asian minor.Serbia,Albania and Wallachia.

Hungary also works. Might need +1 dip rep advisor.
You do need to play on Normal for alliance strats to work since the AI has massive disincentives to form alliances with you on higher difficulties.
Play as Byz,it gives the greatest satisfaction of accomplishing the missions and becoming the civilized world. Austria and Bohemia do have really fun HRE gameplay. Another one that will try out is Timurids in to the Mugles,have great conquest campaign,thinking of trying a zoroastrian play soon. Also Ming and Japan have no real missions,just the originals from 5 years. Now that i think about it,all the missions are from the original game,there is not many missions that are after the first few patches. What a bunch of lazy cunts. For fuck sake,for 50,000 i would make campaign kind of missions for most of the countries in a few months. It is not that hard,just reading some interesting history shit about the country and writing some edgy description. I remember that i made a Bulgarian campaign a few years back. Also Genoa an Venice have really bad missions.So did anyone played the new dlc? With this new mission system they just showed us how lazy they were the past few years.

Yeah, I'd be inclined to agree with this. I bought the DLC (like the dirty, dirty whore I am) and while there's always been a pretty big discrepancy between the nations they put work into and the ones they didn't, that's far more obvious now. Playing England now is by far the most fun I've had with this game, and maybe the most fun I've had with a historical strategy game ever. There's so much more flavour and it feels like a totally unique experience. Anglicanism itself is actually pretty disappointing (as a mechanic it's basically Catholicism except the Pope has no power over you and you can spend your equivalent of pope mana on divorcing your spouse - which is actually pretty true to life, come to think of it...), but flavourwise, I love it. Yeah, you're damn right I have my own state church that no other country in the game has. I also love that England and Great Britain feel more distinct now. Before forming GB gave you nothing but permanent claims on territory you probably already owned anyway, while now it gives you new NIs and missions that are focused more on expanding a global empire.
The thing is, though, that even before this expansion, England was already far and away the most flavourful nation in the game. And like you said, it kind of showcases how lazy the mission system was and how empty it still feels for many non-major nations. Half the draw of EU is the hundreds of different countries you can play, and yet I find myself just doing a constant rotation of England/France/Castile/Muscovy/Portugal/Poland/Ottomans/Ming because those countries just have so many more interesting things going on than others.
My verdict on Rule Brittania, I think, and whether it's worth buying, is going to have to wait until I try a game as an Irish minor. If they received the same TLC as England did in this expansion then that's a very hopeful next step for the future.

Now Austria have missions to restore the PU with Hungary and Bohemia,they could do it in 20 years after the start of the game. There should be a possible decision to marry a local noble and AI should do it frequently.Also Austria, and PLC,but you need time for them. In the latest patch,kebab declared a few years in the game.

Oh man I can't believe I forgot Austria. They're maybe my favourite country to play. They're ridiculously powerful once you understand the PU mechanics and how to amp up Imperial Authority. You can easily get a PU over Bohemia and Hungary in the first few years, Revoke by 1550 (or earlier if you cheese it), and get PLC and Spain in a PU by ~1600. Russia is also pretty easy to get in a PU because for some reason it feels like they're always left with a disputed succession (maybe because they have so few friendly Christian neighbours to have Royal Marriages with?). A bit of luck can even nab you GB and/or Portugal. In any case, Austria has an easy time making subjects out of 70-90% of Europe.
Another thing to note is that the whole HRE framework allows Austria to really hog vassals and even make endless new ones by just expanding HRE territory and then making clients (or releasing old ones, IIRC), along with IIRC fully ignore the usual vassal rebellion from vassal combined power. Actually uniting the HRE ends up making Austria probably ten or so times weaker even without really doubling down on vassals.
I wouldn't even make a WC with some country like Spain or France, coalitions would kill me. I have no idea how the guy do that shit, is that some exploits? some sophisticated very detailed strategy in foresight right from the start?
if i get the quote, you have my appreciation.your sudden but inevitable betrayal
As for coalitions, expand in different directions at first. So say you're France. First you might carve into the HRE, then take some of Iberia or North Africa, then munch on Ireland, then snag some Italian provinces. Rinse and repeat. This will prevent your AE from getting too high with any one particular group, and will make coalitions a lot less likely to form. Make sure to pick up things like Influence ideas that reduce your AE. Finally, you'll probably have an ally that's blobbing more than you'd like. If a coalition does fire, you can wait until that ally has been occupied, then offer a bunch of their provinces/released nations in exchange for peace. Not only do you get out of the coalition scot-free, your ally is now weakened for your sudden but inevitable betrayal. Ultimately you'll become strong enough to beat them, and there is nothing more satisfying than using a coalition war to take more territory.
Honestly, the hardest part of a WC isn't being able to do it in the game, it's cultivating the patience to survive the tedium of endless war-and-core gameplay. Map painting might seem like the most fun part of EU4 until it's literally all you're doing.
