In the beginning usually you will do conversions. You can not gain control of spaces through rebellion unless they are protestant.Try to get 1 key in Holland, and 1 in france.
Waiting for your very last card play to do this is risky. A French/Spanish who can will steal a card from you.
If you are not rushing for a good colony spot/piracy, then you probably play your home card and based on that plan out the rest of your turn.
Good to plant a colony and do piracy t1. Hurt spain, get some treasure for yourself.
Turn 2 you are probably trying tu up it to 2 keys in holland and two out.
Or you can go all religion.
If you go all military, you still want 2 keys in/out.
If you have 2/2 and like 40 spaces converted, well then everyone attacks because you are so strong. Try for the autowin by playing your home card and a treasure.
