I have been playing CoW exclusively and continuously for the last 24 days. I am an Olde War Gamer of the pencil and paper War Game Simulation days of Texas A&M during the mid-70's.
These are a few of the strategies and tips I have come up with in that period of time and is not meant to be a complete guide on CoW. Just my own personal learning experiences which i will share with my fellow gamers...*bows*..
First comes to mind to prioritize your Daily Map Maintanance duties of CoW so that a War Gamer can play more maps and stay active in them as well. I am presently playing 12 maps and it takes me on average 3 hrs a day to do the maps.
First thing to do when starting a new country is Click on Provinces and scroll down to all the provinces that have finished their build ques and refill them. If you have HC, then you can fill all your ques in the production provinces. Make sure you have enough supplies on hand or buy enough to finish all the ques in place. Just go into the info (i) next to a production unit to find out how much it takes to produce and then maintain. Might want to take a pencil and paper and add em all up.
Next look at the Newspaper. Nothing relieves stress and fear of your country being invaded as a look at the Newspaper to see what others on your map are doing and thus deduce their short term and long term plans.
Last thing i do in maintainance is to look at Diplomacy and read and answer any Diplomatic messages sent to my country's Leader.

If it is possible; It is already done. If it's impossible it just takes a while longer.
