Starting Off
How to play as Ireland in Napoleon total war is very easy & Simple. Firstly, what you'll want to do is build up your Farm, Market cities, and build your trade port, begin trading with France, Spain, Austria & Britain if the U.K. Accepts. That'll give you about 5000+ Or near 10,000+ Money each turn.

Income
Upgrading Roads & Increasing Port size is also a good option to improve Income. I recomend doing this first as you start off your campaign. Trade & Upgrading Roads are one of the first things to do on your first turn to improve your income to Ireland.


Technology
Due to the lack of a college & Intelligence center within your Nation you need to rethink your strategies for a bit to think of a way to gain technology without risking War. To do this I suggest diplomacy, buying Technology from France, Austria, Prussia or Spain is my best suggestions as them nations start off having Friendly or Very Friendly opinion of your nation.

Government
The key to Success starts with the Government. And Ireland is a monarchy so the soon to be Irish Empire must have the proper ministers to do the job right. So I suggest firing the first set of Ministers & Replacing them with the new set. The new set immdently get four stars once put into their new assigned position. So you won't need to worry on government after a while once this is completed.

Diplomacy & Military
Being an Island Empire next to the superpower we know as England (United Kingdom) you're seen as a easy target without a proper military & Not much power to do anything big at first, so your word means little, unless you got the cash to make it worth more. Improving your industeries, trade, economics will make your feeble economy to spectaculer to make your word in Diplomacy a bit more meaningful & Powerful.

As you expand your economy I suggest buying technology from France, and for the Military of your Empire, Buy Belgium from France as brussles has three build plots. And will be a more then suitable starting city for your future Empire.


Enjoy!
Congratulations on finishing this guide, I hope this guide is of great use to you in the game as Ireland.

Great guide! But I just wanted to point out, you can't buy Flanders and Wallonia from France, as they don't own it. It is an independent country. The mod you're using is DarthMod, of course.

At first when Britain declared war on Scotland (whom I allied with) I did nothing, I just kept my army at Dublin and sent my spy to sabotage and assassinate. He is still alive, but then I decided to do something and took over Cardiff and London, Britain had taken Pamplona (in spain) so I decided to invade there, and I destroyed Britain.
