    One thing I often do (when I'm at the stage where I can survive without allies anyway) is stay out of alliances, or rather let your existing alliance gradually collapse.
    Once divested of that burden you can wait until your 'intended victim' is at war with somebody (shouldn't really take too long) and you'll often be able to jump in and mug 'em without the CB hit by joining up.
    Even if the alliance leader has a pretty negative reaction towards you you seem to have a good chance of getting in while they're at war.

        In my mods, it's not quite the annexation fest it is in vanilla. You get timed cores, so you have to sit and wait for a bit. Gives you time to build up the country and work off some BB.

          Sweden game update:

          It is 1680, I have started a few colonies and trading posts in northern South America, including a colony with a gold mine. I also started a colony in the section of W. Africa with another gold mine. Basically I am concentrating on settling the richest areas (sugar, gold, tobacco). I am building up an invasion force to take the Aztecs (and thier gold ). The Austrian Great White Blob has expanded westward to the Crimea, pushing out the Turks. France went Protestant, and then reformed(!), and beat the sh*t out of Spain (taking the 3 Basque areas and most of Burgundy). England has colonies in the eastern US. VENICE started colonies in Lousiana and Africa!

              I just tried a vanilla Ottomans game, and realized how much I prefer AGCEEP.

                MEXICO IS MINE! ALL YOUR GOLD ARE BELONG TO US!

                I am building up my present colonies. Russia has taken a chunk out of Austrian Ukraine, but Austria has conquered the Ottomans! France has taken the Low Countries from Spain. England is still concentrating on thier American colonies. Venice has become THE power in Italy. Austrial is slowly eating Germany, only Bremen, Stettin, and Cologne are still not conquered of vassalized by Austria. I have an Alliance with them, so I will probably end up in a war with Austria soon.

                  With such a potential opponent, you are facing an interesting time. Do you have any screens?

                    No, my home computer doesn't have internet access, and I won't for a few months (I just got a compter for my apartmnet a month ago, and have beein trying to get set up through the university, but apparently, you have to be living in the dorms or in the on-capmpus apartments to get free internet acess. ).

                      AUSTRIA RETREATS IN SHAME!

                      They had more manpower in Europe than I did, But by was able to use my great wealth to buy a few mercenaries and had a good bunch of alliances in Russia, Great Britain, and the surviving German states. Austria was allied with France and OE. France tried to invade by ship, but my navy, along with GB's, massacred their fleet. My army, along with Bremen and Cologne, repeled a seige on Cologne, and crushed the main Franco-Austrian force on the western front. In North America, I took France's colonies in Canada. Russia charged in from the east, taking Ukrane and parts of Poland from Austria and the Caucusus reagion from OE. I surged east, taking northern and western Poland from Austria. When Austria grovelled for mercy she lost almost half of fer empire to me and Russia. Sweden is now THE most powerful nation, with colonies in Africa, Canada, the Caribbean, Mexico, Brazil, and Indonesia. It is 1800, and I'm #1.

                        I'm playing Aethiopia right now. My empire consists of most of Nubia (my previous ally crushed after it converted to Islam), entire Zanj, Zanzibar island, and almost all coastland of Africa from Bisharin to the coastland of Namibia plus two provinces in India. I'm allied with Indian mights - mostly because they tended to attack me when I was not allied with them. I'm not asking them for any help, I'm just keeping them away from thought of attacking me. It's moving slow. I only had a couple of wars in which I really participated.
