I'm Winston Wolfe. I solve problems. If I was informed correctly, the clock is ticking. That gives us exactly... forty minutes to get the ♥♥♥♥ out of Dodge. Which, if you do what I say when I say it, should be plenty. Now, you've got a corpse in a car, minus a head, in a garage. Now I want you to raise taxes as high as they go and send your armies south. Let France go through another revolution and side with the monarchs. This will solve your unpopularity. If it doesnt then it gave you free troops to send at Spain. Forget the Americas let Spain worry about Mardi Gras Your going to have to go at Spain and go at them hard. Eliminating them means their collonial possesions get independence and will have no anger twords you. This is how we come back, using American allies to get rid of the Marathas. Dont worry about defending France if your only land war is with Spain. Give England Jewles and kiss their feet because you just became their ♥♥♥♥♥. They will protect you from being rushed by sea. If the United provices is still alive do the same with them. Once You have Spain we can stand allown in Europe. Conquer England and build a navy. The other europeans wont take a liking to that but It will create the US and Quebec both of which you can trade with. Eastern europe will be pritty pissed by now but they dont have the ports nesissary for a good navy close them down. Now we have the strength to Conquer Europe.

Well I can say this, you are broken, but not beyond repair. All you need to do is make peace with someone threatning in Europe, so you have only 1 side to defend from, and as I understand, Spain still has colonies in Italy. You can easily gain allies of Genoa and Venice, them being a republic aswell so after that, they will push in Italy, that will give Spain a little to worry about. Another thing, Don't worry for colonies, in your situation they would be only a burden, cause you will have to tribute your navy and troops to go over sea, all the way to America and just conquer 2 towns ( that I think you might archieve ), and then die in Europe. No no my friend, that action is invalid, like dividing with zero on a calculator ( which should be positive or negative infinity, just so you know ). If you indeed need colonies, or want them, I suggest either getting with navy the trade places from Africa, or Brazil ( rarely people visit Brasil) and what you need to aswell do is quickly conquer Gibraltar if it is still under Spanish control, that will drive the enemies onto a differend part of their country, and leave you time to fix the feeble economy you are in. Then, produce troops, and all you need is a heroic heroic victory over the Spanish, a.k.a they invade with a 1000 troops and you defend with 600, if you win that, the enemies will think twice before invading again, and sometimes you can get peace from it! Aswell you need another thing, a protectorate, but some nation that is at war with very low people, and that is mainly neutral towards the world... like... Baden Wurtemburg! So that this happens, they don't lead you in a lot of wars, and you get half of their economy! one way to get them as protectorates is to offer them a medium sum of money ( about 10 000 ) and military access and the technologies they don't have, like that, they have a good chance to accept, or, if they don't ( happens at times ) you need a small war with them, besiege their capital, wait until they attack you, win, and then ask for peace and protectorate, and give them like 2 000 money just so they will blindingly think: "It is money! Surely no matter the number they are rich! We should accept!". Sorry, I would be able to provide more help if the nation we are talking about is Austria, as I play them the most, good luck!

Thank you guys but you all missed a point In France 1 full and a half full army is coming to paris. and i just got out from war of revolution. they take it like 1 or 2 turn most. i have belgium, alsas loren,holland,savoy. these my land in europe and only lands. and i think i have one island on america but it will be gone.england i liberated ireland and scotland declared war to me and they dont make peace. :D because they rebelled against me. england blocking my trade ports. and austuria marching on wittumberg to take alsasloren. they took once but i recaptured it. i have 2 full armies (they seem full but they have losses like half) one in belgium one in holland. btw prussia marching for holland. and population pissed of they will rebell surely. with one army i cant win spains so i will leave holland for rebels or prussia. thats my situvation know. btw for example i allied with genoe they are good friends but they dont even trade with me. when i asked they asked for 3000 sum. and i have 2500 most for per turn with that situvation. i think its because of very hard. so damn fool ai..

thats my status right now.(fully)

i would evacuate all lands and leave them in a bad position, ie demolish everything then get everything together and try get it to paris, if you can't, well paris will rebel against the spanish so try time your attack with the rebellion

First try to see your technology to every single country in the game for around 300 (you might scrape 3000 cash from this if your lucky.
assasinate all enemy genrals
fight defensively and use cannister shot
Negotiate for peace with your worst enemies even if you have to offer them territory.
Focus on keeping your men alive rather than destroying the enemy. try defending forts from the inside (gamey but works)
Use forrests they give your men limited cover

AVOID A 2 FRONTED WAR AT ALL COSTS
If you get a chance capture morroco (gives you control of Indian and african trade lanes)
