Hello guys,
As you might know, there are some conquest ranking threads in EW6 and GOG3, so I think I will do one in here, if I'm permitted to do so.
Firstly, I'm not come from an English-speaking country, so please don't mind if there are too many grammatical faults
Secondly, this is how I rank countries in Conquest:
Very Easy
Easy
Normal
Hard
Very Hard(not recommended for beginners)
1939 Conquest(Generally favors Axis)
3 Stars Countries:
Germany: You have to face France, Britain and Soviet at their best after eliminating other weak countries. But think about it, you have Manstein and Guderian which is best tank generals ingame, you have Donitz which is one of the best naval gens. Your economy is acceptable for early of the game. Just try to eat as many ports as you can to prevent ship's spam and the game should be fine.
Italy: Easiest country in 1939 era. What you just need to do is gain control in Balkan, capture Stalingrad and take down Egypt in Africa. Britain and France are pretty harmless because Germany will draw their attention.
United Kingdom: Kill Japan is the hardest part imo. You have superiority in Africa, and in Europe you have support from France and Soviet Union. In Southeast Asia(SEA), try to eliminate Thailand ASAP and steal any city from ROC to set a foothold(It's best to take Peking or Nanking).
Soviet Union: Second hardest 3-star country, but still playable for newbie. Try to block Germany as far from Moscow + Stalingrad as possible(Best to stop them at Minsk and Donetsk). Use the advantage of light troops to circle Germany.
France: Hardest 3-star, but I'm not certain to put it to Hard or Normal. Of course, not for newbie. You'll have to face the almighty power of Germany, they will spam generals at you until you lost all European territory. With some good gens the game is manageable.
Japan: Kill ROC, bribe Germany, eliminate USA Navy, control SEA region. That's all
USA: If you had troops in Europe, it would be placed in Very Easy countries. The hardest part is set a foothold in Europe. Japan isn't a threat even though they have stronger navy than you. Make a good use of land units in Midway + Arnold and Coastal Artilleries. You have stronger economy than Japan so it should be easy.
2-Stars Countries:
ROC: You have to face the full power of Japanese Land Force, but you have cool gens too(Peng, LinB, Zhang.Z.Z). Hold on to Peking and Nanking, defeat as many units as you can and start counterattack after the enemies has been destroyed.
India: ROC with harder level since you are farther away from battlefield. Send support to ROC when you are far from battle.
Romania: The overall conquest is pretty fun. You are the punching bag of Soviet South Armies, but they are not too strong. Take control of Balkan and then start the march to Stalingrad.
Canada: USA lite. You can't afford too many money for a war with Germany and Japan(plus your navy is a joke). Try to help your friends as soon as possible and keep them alive so you won't have to conquer their city later.
Spain: France is your biggest enemy. But yay, they have too long front that they couldn't afford a solo war with you. Leclerc and Darlan will come for Barcelona, but you can attack other cities when they are enjoying their last moment.
1-Star Countries:
Bulgaria: Like Romania, take control of Balkan and Stalingrad. This is easier due to the fact that you aren't facing the mighty Soviet Army
Hungary: See Bulgaria above(and you have access to Poland)
Finland: Another very easy country(highly suggest for newbie). Just take Leningrad with Mannerheim and then you can go whereever you want.
Netherland: Yay, I have too many German on my land that I thought this is a German province. Not recommended for newbie
Belgium: See Netherland above
Denmark: See Netherland above, again
Norway: It's not too hard since you have the North Sea covers for you. After some defend turn, try to expand southward. The hardest part should come after you take Hamburg and Berlin, but with some good gens like Guderian/Rommel and Konev it's manageable.
Mongolia: Your economy is a joke, so you should play as a steal-supporter. Try to take many city as possible and once you gained good economy, expand to Japanese mainland
Egypt: Cool commando. Nasser is pretty cool too(he can deal about 70 dmg when attacking tank units). Take control of Africa, landing in Europe. Just be careful for spam.
Thailand: Not that bad. The French is almost useless so you can conquer their city, and start the push to some poor tea drinkers.
1943 Conquest(Generally favors allies)
3-Stars Countries:
Germany: Easiest country in 1943 imo. Vast territory, cool generals, great economy. In Soviet front, try to defend against them first, then you can start the attack. In Britain, launch missiles toward London and paratroop there. In Africa, try to take Cairo as soon as possible, hold on to Southern front then the game should be over
Japan: Second easiest. Like Germany, you enjoy great economy and good army. Expand in China, help Thailand, land in America. That's all
Soviet Union: You are about to face 2 best Axis countries in 1943 which is Japan and Germany. Try to hold strategic position like Leningrad, Moscow, Stalingrad and the city where Novikov stand (to launch aircraft right to Japanese mainland) in the first few turn. After that attempt to take Minsk and Warsaw before Germany use Manstein or it's would be hard.
USA: Pretty easy. Gain a solid foothold in Europe then you can start expand. In Pacific, try to eliminate cruiser and carrier with general by your submarine. Need 1-2 gens to do this smoothly.
Great Britain: Similar to USA, but this time you are weaker in Asia but closer to Europe. Take Portal out of London in first few turns or he will be killed by missiles. After Donitz is gone, you can start the landing operation
Italy: Not as easy as in 1939 since Balkan is conquered by Germany and Africa is your only battlefield at the beginning of the game, but still a good choice. Send help to Soviet Union and Britain front, cooperate with Germany in Africa.
2-Stars Countries:
ROC: Yeah, yeah, yeah. The Japanese is annoying, they have powerful economy. But hey, who have better army at the start? You. So if you are able to take Peking and Nanking early, the game is manageable.
India: The same to 1939, but this time Japan and Germany is stronger and you are closer to them. Try to cooperate with ROC and after kick Japan out of Chinaland, you can start rotating your forces to Europe Front.
France: How could they let France has such a bad economy? Not to mention your general's unit are trash(1-stack Mechanized Inf on Tassigny and Gamelin). Your only hope is De Gaulle(destroyer) and Leclerc(Tanker). After taking control of Africa, Soviet and UK would have fallen.
Canada: Trash units. Simonds is bad too. The fight in Pacific is exhausting. The battles in Europe are even worse. Your 400-dollars economy can't afford such a fierce war. Not recommended unless you have at least 3 good generals.
Australia: Solid choice. Your only nearby enemy is Japan which will be exhausted in China and Pacific War. Blamey is good for marching since he has 4 stars of mobility. Reconquer SEA region and start landing on Japanese homeland. After that be ready to face German spam.
1-Star Countries:
Brazil: Superb choice. Invade Africa with starting general. After that you can expand to Europe. Your economy is good enough to afford a fierce war. In Asia, you can either send money or send troops directly to attack Japan. Overall, this is my recommendation for 1-star country.
Mexico + Cuba: Same as Brazil, with Cuba closer to Europe and Mexico closer to Pacific. The harder part here is your bad economy and Cuba doesn't even have a starting general.
Finland: A bit harder than 1939, but still very easy. Use the same strategy in 1939, cooperate with German to take Leningrad and march toward Moscow
Romania: The Soviet is hard since German South Wing is weaker than North. But you will gain aid from Italy after 10 turns so take Donetsk, hold on to your ground and start counter back when the Italians arrive. Bock and Model probably will die because of OP Zhukov and Vatutin. Or if you can take Stalingrad even before Italy send troops, it's will be nice.
Hungary + Bulgaria: See Romania above. Except this time you won't have tank generals at the start( Horthy with infantry/Boris with howitzer)
Mongolia: Pretty hard, and a long-lasting conquest with frustrating spam everywhere. Try to cooperate with the Chinese to kill Japan as soon as possible, rotate your force back to Western and stealing allies city. Britain and Soviet would have fallen when you reach there so make sure you have at least 500 dollars per turn to afford spam.
Egypt: You gained some territory compare to 1939, and this time Nasser directly in charge of a commando unit. On desert, he can do 200 DAMAGE while attacking tank, so Rommel and Manteuffel won't be a problem. After Africa is conquered, you can move up North with your American friends.
My recommendation for completing achievement:
1939:
3 Stars: Italy
2 Stars: Spain
1 Star: Finland
1943:
3 Stars: Germany/Japan
2 Stars: ROC(For me the conquest is easy and fun but for some of my friends, it's hard so I put it in Normal)
1 Star: Finland(Do you have to do anything too exhausted and hard while playing Finland?)/Brazil
That's all. If you like it, let me know if I can do another ranking(1950). If you have any suggestion, just let me know and I will try to respond as soon as possible.
