Just finished my (coalition) campaign with Saxony.
I found the best way to go was to take whats left of the Ottaman Empire, rather than pick a fight with any of the other German states or big boys. My invasion of Italy was badly prepared and ended in failure.
Dumped my original capital, Dresden, as it doesn't pick up any sea trade which you really need to stay alive. Managed to liberate Hungary and a couple of other regions. Survived Russian and Austrian declarations of War (everybody hates you) until 1811.
It was only when the Saxon Empire was beaten into a small corner of Rumalia (istanbul) and all trade had dried up and the bloody Greeks had risen in revolt (after all I did for them damn ingrates) and I was surrounded by 5 full stacks of Russians and the French had declared war along with everybody else that I capitulated.
Fun campaign. You get to go thru most of the technological uplifts and get curaisssiers (which get beaten up by Greek Hussars lol). Seems the strat of getting to the coast and dumping landlocked capitals is worth trying.
Anyone else ?
