I want to bring all knowledge about my favorite faction in this place!
I will start with some tips:
1.Use Knechten in numbers! They are cheap and are good for hammer and anvil tactic
2.Get Visby in the beginning, you need to build a ship for this, its a rebell settlement and provides good income
3.This faction has the strongest Infantry in the whole world! Use it in high numbers for your advantage
4.The Knights are expensive but very good heavy cavalry.
5.Prussian axemen are cheap but very effective shock troops.
6.In the beginning try to ally Poland,Denmark and Novgorod and focus on Lithuania, maybe also call a crusade
These are some tips from me I hope you will make some good tips too!
7.Take Turku in the north before Novgorod gets it.
8.Kill all the rebell stacks in your territory or they will criple your finances.
9.your archers are so dont rely on them...
10. but the Prussian Auxilliaries are very good skirmisher Cavalry and cheap so use them!!!
