1836年的法国与伊比利亚一瞥

“法兰西万岁！”
“Vive la France!”

尽管拿破仑的帝国已逝，大革命的遗产仍影响着法国乃至Europe。历经共和国、帝国和复辟王朝的法国在1836年开局时是一个liberal的奥尔良派治下的君主立宪制国家。虽然经历了几十年的动荡，法国仍然拥有强大的陆军、海军和经济实力，居于三大great power之位，并有可能跃居世界第一。傲视群雄的联合王国和崭露头角的 Prussia掌控的German 无疑是法国前进路上最大的绊脚石，但这也让法国把目光转向了Asia和Africa富饶的土地。

法国崛起最大的困境是低出生率，与临近的德意志邦国相比尤甚。鉴于普鲁士的威胁，法国务必为普法战争备兵秣马，坚守事关German Empire兴废的阿尔萨斯-洛林。在恢复其在旧体制（Ancien Régime）和拿破仑统治下的强大地位的道路上，法国还可能不得不应对革命者，建立一个庞大的海外殖民帝国来扩大其影响力，并维持欧洲的权力平衡。

概述

French is the main culture of France and French Canadian is an accepted culture. Its main religion is Catholic, which is also the state religion. In 1836 France has 53.36% farmers, 31.86% labourers and 10.27% artisans. France ruling party is the liberal Orléaniste. France has great industrial potential, that big that with industry points it can easily surpass Britain and become #1.

独特的决议s 和事件

决议

事件

法国有许多独特的正面事件。尤其是不少事件可以提供额外的威望。

战略

法国是游戏开局时的三个顶级列强之一。它拥有强大的陆军、海军以及很高的识字率。初始的殖民地包括法属圭亚那、阿尔及尔海岸和几个更小的非洲殖民地。但法国并非高枕无忧。由于东部尤甚的低出生率，准备不足的玩家很可能导致法国因 Prussia/NGF/Germany而崩溃。最为关键的阿尔萨斯-洛林收复战争要么削弱德国的野心，要么将直接促成德意志帝国的建立。

鉴于法国在欧洲大陆上的相对优势地位以及在全球范围内众多的殖民地，扮演法国的玩家面临着各种不同的选择。以下是你的一些主要选择。

科研

A workable literacy rate and a rich country means, that France does not have to limit itself when it comes to research.

In general matching Prussias army technology, getting ready for colonization and getting prestige from culture technologies are the most important aspects.

It is worth noting that two French decisions requires a tech, which can be researched right away. La Légion étrangère requires Army Professionalism and The Lambert Charter requires Ideological Thought. Especially La Légion étrangère is worth prioritizing early, as the 0.01 prestige pr month and the 1% immigrant attraction runs for the rest of game.

Many other French decisions require certain tech later in the game, and most are worth actively pursuing.

普鲁士

Prussia is the dominant state fighting for the control of what will become Germany and is ultimately an enemy to France as they will come for Alsace-Lorraine. A good move in the early game is to attempt to weaken the Prussians through an early war to claim their Western Provinces.

To prepare for the war we will want to build forts along Alsace-Lorraine and shift our armies to the French border with Prussia. Begin to justify a war to "Acquire State." Alternatively, a decision to claim "The Left Bank" can provide an "Acquire State" CB for a cost of 4 Infamy. Prussia will be very weak without being Germany and these early conquests could go as far as to prevent a major rival in the East. An early alliance with Denmark or Austria will prove beneficial as it will serve to contain the Prussians and prevent any further expansion. The conquest of Prussia should be quite simple and will allow you to pick up 2 States in Prussia's Western holdings along your border. This will cut a massive part of the Prussian industry down and will prevent the forming of the North German Federation, so long as you hold those states.

With your new holdings in Prussia you have now prevented a formidable foe from rising up and will be able to slowly annex minor German states as the game progresses.

外交

在外交方面，法国的主要目标是对抗Prussia。普鲁士和德意志小邦国有着比法国更优秀的军事技能。 Russia 或者 Austria 是天然的 Great power 盟友。与 Switzerland, Belgium, 或者意大利诸国结盟也相当可取。

附属国

Sphering neighboring countries such as Belgium, Switzerland, and Spain will help later on whenever you are in trouble, especially Belgium and Switzerland as they will become very loyal to France after sphering them. Sardinia-Piedmont and Two Sicilies can also be sphered but it is usually lost when Italy forms. Having good relations with Sardinia-Piedmont is probably a good idea because of the decision Cavour's Diplomacy.

其他选择

法国也有很多其他选择。包括从 Spain处( Catalonia尤其有价值) 索取领地到在美洲建立强大的势力。其他的选择还包括在Belgium消除英国的影响并吞并之，或是吞并Sardinia-Piedmont的撒丁岛以及 Two Sicilies的西西里。

法兰西殖民帝国

毗邻索科托的法属加纳，以及荷属、丹属、英属加纳

历史上的法国在欧洲对世界的殖民统治中扮演了重要的角色，玩家选择如法炮制是明智的。在大革命和随后的冲突中，法国失去了一些殖民产业，但要重新建立一个庞大的帝国远非不可能。殖民地将助力玩家振兴经济并提供更多的人力资源来应对欧陆上的威胁。

非洲

法国在非洲有少量产业，玩家可以继续参与到瓜分非洲中去。在游戏开始时，玩家可以选择遵循历史路线进攻北非的 Tunis和 Algeria，或者选择瞄准非洲更南边的部分例如 Sokoto或者 Portugal的产业。

The decisions The Lambert Charter和End the Merina Monarchy 可以完全吞并 Madagascar。

美洲

在游戏的开始, 法国在美洲的领地仅限于加勒比海上的一些岛屿、加拿大附近一个单独的岛屿和南美海岸的圭亚那地区。如果玩家想要遵循史实路线，早在1836年就侵略 Haiti（在大革命期间从法国独立）是一个在该地区恢复法国存在感的好选择。 United States of America 倾向于快速扩展它的势力，所以建议尽早进攻海地。
