Advice for Lithuania?

Pagan Lithuania was, by far, one of the msot interesting campaigns i've ever played.

in battle you cant rely on autoresolve unless you outnumber the enemy terribly.
lithuanian units employ a lot of hit and run tactics, i've won many a heroic victory this way.

any tips on how to survive as lithuania without selling out to the christians?

so i thought,

it

i packed up everybody and headed straight for scandinavia, yes i did a migration AAR

the lithuanian starting position is quite crap frankly and there's just no stopping the teutonic knights

i allied with norway and have beaten back the danes so i control sweden and finland which is good

Lithuania needs money fast. Unfortunately it is a landlocked country, so you NEED some coastal settlements. Relocating is an option, as Lithuanian lands aren't too productive, but I see no reason that when you have some coastal settlements and you can participate in the prosperous Baltic maritime trade, you shouldn't have too much of a problem funding an army to take on the Teutons.

lithuanian units are on the whole, for want of a better word:

i find i win either heroic victories or victories where i have a 60% casualty rate.

it's all tactics and a lot of micromanaging, and as much as i love the dievas guard and other religious units, they lack proper discipline which, as i said can be death in battle.
