Today I will show you how to unlock Isabella playing as 1798 France. Wait whaaat?! How do you make that work with an invasion of Russia and stuff? Good question, and the main one I'll answer, but first, some background and prerequisites.
1. Princesses are free generals. You unlock them by winning a conquest in the right continent, fast enough, and with enough resources
2. Isabella is France's princess. She is second only to Moreau IMO, although many will say she is better than him. She unlocks in about 45 turns, with tons of food and gold, and over 2000 metal/industry. You WANT her unless you bought Moreau, and maybe even then.
3. France is an easy country to conquest, especially in 1798 (10 gens, buffed economy, access to fronts but only one immediately assaulted). The only problem is that it takes years to cross Russia.
And now, what you need:
1. Fairly good Cav Gen (I had Sebastiani (3*, surprise, 98 hp, 5 regen)). You need him with high HP and Regen.
2. Good Art gens (Sophia ( 3* art, explosive, 98 hp, 5 regen)) and Jourdan (3*, explosive+ballistics, hp 64, regen 2)
3. Snare Drum
4. Warhorse
5. Tent (recommend the +6, but +4 ought to do)
6. Willingness to switch Items aggressively
Now, let’s dive in:
Invasion of England
Generals: Massena, Jourdan, and an art. Gen with high HP.
Deploy your Arti gen (will be referred to as Sophia, since that’s who I used) to the heavy art on the shore, move her, Jourdan, and Massena to the port on your side of the channel. Send Massena across 1st, have him hit the coastal fort next to Southampton. Next turn, he lands there. Fight with common sense until you reach Liverpool, then:
send Sophia to Sweden, even if Dobeln died
send Jourdan with 1-2 other units to Ireland
Massena will take Scotland. Also, you will have to build battleships by round 15 to kill Hood and aid Massena
North Italian Campaign
General: Napoleon
Take Napoleon and the Line inf in the town, kill Klenau with Napoleon, advance to the Austrian troops near the fort, kill the Troops, leave the fort alone
Peninsular War
Generals: NONE
Send the Troops near Clermont by sea to Northwest Spain, steal a city there. Send the light inf in Bordeaux to steal Zaragoza and the stable near Madrid, build up troops, attack Porto when Spain’s assault is depleted, steal Madrid if you can (Spanish General will leave it eventually) attack Beresford last (round 30-ish), Huarte (Spanish Admiral (Navy General)) will help with the Battleship. Once Portugal is done, feel free to turn Spain Neutral
Italian Seas Campaign
General: Marmont
Take Marmont, the grenadiers near Marseilles, and the Line inf at sea to Sardinia; Kill Amadeo III, take Caligari, recruit troops, send damaged troops to kill fort and others to Sicily; Repeat Process from Sardinia in Sicily; Advance to Naples, repeat process (Italians will hold Naples off, might help you). Don’t go too fast on this front, or Nelson might come. Otherwise, The Ottomans will kill him by round 20.
DON’T SEND NAPOLEON!!! This front is a waste of his talents.
Battle of Weilburg
Generals: Dumouriez, Moreau, Desaix, and your Cavalry general (I will refer to him as Sebastiani since I used him)
Send the starting troops in the area (Dumouriez, Moreau, Desaix and regular forces to Weilburg, deploy your general to double guard cavalry in Weilburg ASAP, take surrounding cities, kill August
Bavarian Campaign
Generals: Sebastiani, Desaix
Advance from Weilburg, kill Davidovich, take Munich, destroy the little fort, leave the big one be, advance to join Napoleon
Assault on North Germany
Generals: Dumouriez, Moreau, your other Art. Gen (I used Jourdan, so I’ll refer to him)
Take Brunswick, recruit double heavy art, dispatch Jourdan to it, IGNORE THE FORT, send Moreau through Brunn to Vienna,send Dumouriez and Jourdan to Oldenburg, kill Wilhelm III and Hotze. Dispatch a few troop to help Denmark fight Sweden.
Siege of Vienna
Generals: Sebastiani, Desaix, Napoleon, Moreau
Sebastiani, Napoleon, and Desaix attack Archduke C. immediately, Moreau joins after Brunn falls. Secure the light grey fort, advance on Budapest, then Lviv. When you near Lviv, send Moreau up North
Fall of Prussia
Generals: Jourdan, Dumouriez
Have Jourdan pummel Berlin while Dumouriez takes the factory and stable immediately east of it. Once Berlin is empty, send Dumouriez in; destroy the fort; advance on Danzig full force
Swedish Campaign:
Generals: Sophia
If Dobeln is alive, send Sophia to kill him and the regular troops to Stockholm. If he is dead, support the Danes everywhere. Use common sense
The Dagger
General: Sebastiani
This is the move that makes Isabella attainable, so pay attention: Send Sebastiani from Lviv to Kiev, fight the spammed Cavalry sent by Russia; upgrade Kiev; build Guards and Grenadiers; Send most of said inf. with Sebastiani to Moscow, take Moscow
Liberation of Poland
Generals: Napoleon, Moreau, Dumouriez, Jourdan
These guys are gonna fight a bunch of Generals, and a ton of Cheap troops. Kill Suvorov and Bagration first, then the rest. Finally, take the cities and destroy forts
Transylvanian Campaign
Generals: Desaix, Marmont(?)
There will be HRE/Russian forces around Clujnapoca, send Desaix (and Marmont if he’s done) to kill them, then have Marmont and Desaix advance and kill everything South of Kiev.
Invasion of Russia
Generals: Napoleon, Sebastiani, Jourdan, Moreau, Dumouriez, Sophia(?)
Pretty obvious: send your generals into Russian strongholds, kill Russians, move on, no high priority targets here
Mop-up
Generals: None
This one is starting at round 25. Send Grenadiers to destroy all leftover forts in former Prussia/HRE/British Territory.
