Up to you and how much you want to spend, though the Black Guard is a thing that the Alouite dynasty should still have, so you can start with a veteran army if you want.

Oh, are we going to have an RP/story thread? I've got some stuff from last game I should clean up and post.

Yeah. Wasn't sure how much people wanted it.

Works for me, IC I don't have anything for Il Papa and his cronies beyond a vague "If the shavepates hate him that much he can't be all bad."

Thank you. That would certainly make some of my plans easier to execute.

I meant up north with the bearserkers and stuff. Twelve Templars, one Mamluke, no problems.

Everyone will distrust you and it will be more likely alliances are formed against you.
In fact, simply showing an interest in being a warmonger, as you just did, sometimes provokes the same responses on a lesser scale.

True. I'll improve things a bit, probably early tomorrow.
Depends. I can't say for players, but NPC nations will be more likely to want to cut you down to size if you're consistently expansionist and threatening. And I can say last time Austria got absolutely dogpiled for starting WW1 at the end of the first game.

Don't panic. Different timeline.
You can, but I wouldn't suggest it. The USE is the biggest world power, I'd like to give it to a experienced player, no offense. Prussia is probably fine too, given that they've only offended Poland.

Speaking of Prussiabro, @Dust and echoes you want to come back for something?

I actually advise playing a small nation.
The bigger you are, the more people will pay attention to you. Small nations can evade notice and don't have to do much heavy lifting if they get good allies.

If he comes back he's still been gone long enough that it's not like I'd immediately favor him for the claim.
Honestly you'll probably get Austria.
This is good advice though. Everyone pays attention to the big nations. You can get away with quite a bit by staying beneath notice.

If you want to warmonger without getting too much in other people's way... I'd suggest one of the West African states.
Built-in casus belli and domestic support for building a West African imperial complex; a few pretty interesting plot hooks; and not too much fighting with the rest of the world.
Europe and North America can be a bit cutthroat in these sorts of games -- worthwhile if you have someone to show you the ropes a bit, but a bit of a challenge and sometimes time-consuming.
