I'm pretty new to dom3 though I think I've got most of the basics down of how to play. Can thoroughly trounce the AI on normal so decided to move it up to hard.

The result: I get destroyed. Here's a screenshot of my latest game. Turn 37. Right before I got crushed between 3 AIs.

You started in a difficult location and did alright. Two provinces on the far northeast should have waited as it stretched your armies more thin. Try growing more like a circle while expanding towards choke points. Avoid marching into war when surrounded by multiple AIs and use the graphs to identify the most powerful AIs via provinces, income and army size. Avoid the most powerful AI until you have the strength to expand into them.
