# Purple Room Session 1 Tier list ## S tier **Ottomans** Killing both his enemies this session Ottomans have manage to kill all his threats and is in great position to keep expanding without meeting any resitance, clear leader of the campaign. Securing his first VC and having the second strongest player in the game as an ally will ensure Ottoman dominance, in this game for a long time. ## A tier **Timurids** Allying the strongest nation in the game made sure his western part of the empire is safe from any threats. With the normal rival between ottomans thrown out of the window with good diplo has made sure timuurids can expand into any direction he wants and the world lays on a plate for him. He can influence India, go north or expand south. Consolidating his land be probably the most likely move of the Persian(mountain) ruler. **Manchu** Starting as a "minor" nation expanded heavily west and into ming. Next session will him probably be twice his current dev. He will keep eating AIs to he meet a human player and can drown them in banners. Probably the strongest potential with no clear threats anywhere near him. Beijing will fall! ## B tier **Muscovy** With all threats dying to AIs, this has made expansion easy for the muscovite ruler. Vassalising the great nation of Norway have put him closer to taking northeren part of Europe under his control. The hordes are looking weaker and weaker around him and might be a good potenial expansion path in the close future. **Poland** Taking Silesia off of the Emperor has made the Holy Roman Emperor crumble. Poland has made peace with the east and can focus on whatever direction he wants to send his hussars too and take more land. Secured 1 gold mine and one more in sight will make sure Poland can pay those elite soldiers. **England** Making Western europe be on fire has set england up to a perfect game. Everyone is burning in the west beside england raking in that trade money. He will surely sit behind his ships and watch the west burn while he set him self up an empire overseas. **Delhi** Ensuring the ability to form Nepal was biggest move for Delhi. Delhi(Jaunpur)Will clearly be a powerhouse in india, if he manages to keep coalitions from forming against him. Currently the strongest nation in India and will snowball even harder when he forms Nepal. Nepal Gang for life! ## C tier **Bahmannis** Winning a Deathwar against Vijayanagar has ensured bahamannis grip on south off India. Just need to keep the other Indian powers in check and he will become stronger. **Bengal** Bengal managed to expand into Orrisa and the into the minor nation into the east. Not switching religion will make ruling the land he currently owns and future land hard. Also players around him expanded faster and is need to speed up things. again switching religion would help on that. Fixing estates will also improve the autonomy and optimizing his nation a lot. **Castile** Got both his PU on Aragon and Naples and made gains again france ensuring his future genoa trade. With a strong alliance with Portugal and Burgundy his prospects are looking good. Currently, the biggest issue is England which is supporting the French whilst Castille holds core French land. If Castilie manages to keep France weak to the next age he is sure to be a major player in Europe. **France** Been in constant wars with his closest neighbours has made French power shrink. The French has the support of the english but might need more firepower to take down the coalition looming over his land. There might be some Hungary HRE nations wanting toi get some land off the coalition. **Austria** Is weak C tier and currently in a coalition war, but has powerfull allies at his side such as the polish so shouldn't be an issue winning it. Securing Venice will also generate the income that will be needed to pay for future wars. Getting back the emperorship will also huge powerboost the austrian archduke ## D tier **Burgundy** Needs to get out a cycle of death wars with france and restore his lost PU and get a hold of English channel for that steady income. Maybe look outwards for help? New allies are forming round him from the east. **Tunis** Keep doing pirate things and expand and will surely become a powerhouse of africa. **Ethopia** New Egypt is forming to become a major power around Nile. Will the former mountain people learn farming? gGood prospect with the death of the mamluks exciting to see where this great nation will go. **Morroco** Needs to get a foothold on Iberian peninsula if he wants to stay relevant. Maybe making a push with the French will ensure Moroccan survival. **Khemer** Looks like Khemer have potenial to become a powerhouse around Indo-China and will be exisiting to see where this young nation will head too. **Brandenburg** Brandenburg had the biggest growth in the HRE and looks like a potenial leader for the HRE. Will he manage to sway the other members to vote for him is still unclear. Managing to keep poland at bay will be the hardest thing for brandenburg right now, but with an alliance secured with muscovy it seems manageable. and easy expasion inside the HRE is still possible. ## E tier **Mewar** Needs to do major diplo manoeuvres to survive the future Indian thunderdome. Weakest power in india right now. no player allies make Mewar look like he will be fighting to the death next session. **Hamburg** Needs to keep expanding if he wants to be relevant in the game. Also no leader of the HRE there will be outside forcing pushing into the empire. Maybe ally up with other HRE members to keep outside power in check. **Hesse** Needs to keep expanding if he wants to be relevant in the game. Also no leader of the HRE there will be outside forcing pushing into the empire. Maybe ally up with other HRE members to keep outside power in check. **Switzerland** Lost all gains and is on 1444 start again. ## F tier All that dead nations **Hungary** Killed him self all out war with Bohemia. Currently being carved up by poland his former ally and ottoman he white peaced out earlier in the session. -- Not official in anyway my humble opinion of strength now and close to future potential power." -- Thanks to @Calico#2193 for assisting me on this one.
