How To Open The EU4 Command Console. But as there are different keyboard layouts, this can vary. If it doesn’t work, you might want to try “Schift + 2” or “Schift + 3”. If this is still not working, you might try the alternatives like “Alt + 21”, “§”, “”, or “`”. As that, this depends on your keyboard layout. This hopefully helped you.

So you’ve decided to play Poland? Congratulations! As of patch 1.27, Poland is one of the strongest nations in the game. You have multiple fronts to expand into, you have a good amount of development, and you will have a free PU that you don’t need to spend diplo points or take a diplo rep hit to integrate. (Commonwealth decision) You’re also the best European nation for cavalry in the game, and your military (while not quite on the level of Prussia or France) is good. (Not a bad country to go for the guarantor of peace achievement either given the location)

So, first order of business is getting Danzig and Krolewiec. Fabricate claims on the Teutons. You’ll get an event with either a great ruler (usually 6/6/6) or take the Jagiellon option for a PU with Lithuania. Take the PU or else Muscovy will eat Lithuania while your back is turned. It’s also not really worth the admin points early on that it will take to core that land by conquest. In 1450, the new 1.27 event will allow you to support Danzig seceding from the Teutonic Order. Support them and they’ll become your vassal. Take as much land as you can from the Teutons possibly full annexing them if aggressive expansion allows. You’ll want influence ideas. Because it’s likely that you’ll also get a vassal out of Moldavia. The aggressive expansion reduction and reduced diplo annex cost is invaluable.

Integrate Mazovia, then Danzig. Eat or vassalize minors in the Lubeck trade node. Keep an eye on the Livonian order, and try to block the Danish from expanding there. But be mindful that you don’t want to feed Lithuania too much or else they’ll be too big to form the Commonwealth with. I also like to knock out Brandenburg early before they get their national ideas or otherwise vassalize them and make them your attack dog. When you form the Commonwealth and have a decent army it’s time to watch the Ottomans for signs of weakness. In my run, I wound up forcing a PU over Hungary before coming after the Ottomans. When you successfully break Ottoman power, the only threat left is Russia. Russia doesn’t tend to have great army quality so you’ll be able to deal with them. Force a PU over Bohemia with the mission you get, and you’ll be the unquestioned #1 great power. France is a good ally to have and you should be able to easily keep and maintain that alliance. Austria ought to be next on the chopping block. Then you can expand down into Anatolia and the Levant or go for central Europe or grab Russian land.

Expand into Denmark opportunistically. You’ll get some permanent claims from PLC missions. By now you should dominate the Baltic trade node, the Kiev trade node, and the Constantinople trade node. Continue eating away at Lubeck node minors. Coalitions may form. As long as you’re not getting dogpiled by all of Europe, you’ll be fine.

Idea groups I used for my run so far: Influence, Aristocratic, Economic, Religious (yeah yeah Humanist works too and is better than Religious now), Quality, Offensive, and Diplomatic.

Game not finished yet, but I might take Admin just for the CCR next.

Poland is easily on the level of the Ottomans, France, Spain, and England for powerful nations.
