Opening phase: Great Conqueror: North Africa
Deploy your 2 inf commanders and 1 cav commander on starting units.
Upgrade your cities to maximise output and spam troops.
Caution: Do NOT exceed population limit because you NEED the resources.
Declare war on Italy and Naples early on so that Italian and Neapolitan troops are more dispersed and manageable for Austria.
4-5 turns before Algeria joins, march your troops to surround the first empty city on the east. When your troops are in place, Algeria is sped up by 1-2 turns, but do not worry.
Declare war on Algeria, blitz through the first city and move on to Tripoli to link up with Egypt.
Build forts, spam inf when needed and keep moving to try to knock out Algeria as soon as possible.
REINFORCEMENTS HAVE ARRIVED!
Morocco and Egypt will soon join and overrun nearby Algerian troops and cities because the Algerians would've concentrated their troops on you.
Now, capture the last cities and defeat Algeria!
__________________________________________________________
March eastward towards Egypt to RESCUE THE ALLY, the Egyptians, from the Ottoman counterattack. If possible, capture some Egyptian cities to have a springboard to invade Ottoman-held Levant region.
Sail from Tunis or Tripoli against Sicily and take the island. This will be the main base of resistance against Italy and Naples for most of the war.
Sail towards Palma from Algiers and use the island to hit the French rear in the Iberian Peninsula.
Portugal may have surrendered and the Spanish may be close to losing all their European territories, but using Blasts, Forced Marches and normal troop marches, you can reclaim the cities close to the Pyrenees.
Once the French are trapped in Iberia, WIPE OUT THE ENEMY!
_________________________________________________________
Phase 2: War on 3 Fronts! Ambush the Rear and Enter Europe!
When you have landed in the Levant and seized control of either the nameless city, Damascus or Jerusalem, HOLD THE GROUND and slowly capture the remaining cities.
Afterward, your target is Baghdad and Ankara while your allies weaken the defenders and both cities.
Use Tunis to help the Coalition island-hopping strategy as they attack Sardinia and Corsica, with Marseille being the endgoal you should only help them with.
From Sicily, land in Southern Naples and dig in for a war of attrition.
Your goal is mainly to distract the Neapolitan forces, followed by distracting the Italians.
In an ideal scenario, you'd be able to conquer cities in Naples. Otherwise, just hold out.
From the Pyrenees, attack against Toulouse then work your way towards Bordeaux and Brittany. Basically, conquer the French coast facing the Atlantic.
Meanwhile, expand against the French territories in Iberia.
Work with your allies and conquer Iberia!
By now, Gran Columbia and both Germanic Empires would've fallen.
If possible, use Lend-Lease to send aid to your allies.

Phase 3: Homeland Conquest
From the Pyrenees and Western France, advance against all French cities, EXCEPT Paris.
Work with Britain to attack Paris while cooperating with Bavaria to attack the French cities in/bordering the Rhine and Italy.
Morocco will help out against Lyon and Turin, if possible.
In Naples, continue to hold out.
Beware! The enemy may deploy ships and amphibious landing troops so look out for these.
From Ankara and the Levant, conquer Baghdad to have a springboard into the east while move against Trabzon to attack via the Caucasus.
Assist any Egyptian and Russian troops if they align with your goals.
Sadly, even if there's a breakthrough in the Balkans, you cannot assist your ally unless you intend to stop your containment of enemy forces or want to over extend your empire.

__________________________________________________________
Phase 4: Rollback in Europe! Containment in North America!
From France and the Rhine, advance on two fronts into Germany and Northern Italy.
Cooperate with Bavaria, Sweden, Denmark-Norway and Britain (when they enter via Hamburg) to defeat the Imperial Eagle faction in Germany and Poland!
Work with Bavaria to attack into Northern Italy and Slavic regions of the late Austrian Empire.
Swiftly conquer the nearby regions and HOLD THE GROUND against the Ottoman forces.
Advance on Rome via Florence and work with Morocco to enter Rome!
It's time to WIPE OUT THE ENEMY!
With the pincer attack launched via the Alps, the Neapolitan forces will be further divided among defending their homeland, expanding into Russia and defending Rome.
Work with your allies and your other pincer attack group to conquer Naples.
WIPE OUT THE ENEMY!
From Trabzon, cross the Caucasus and enter Russia and Ukraine. Try to link up with the Balkans forces at the nameless city east of Sevastopol.
From the nameless Ottoman city south of the lake, sail your troops to hit the enemy rear and bypass the Caucasian blockade!
Supply the Canadians and Mexicans with ~300 dollars every turn to ensure their survival and the containment of Brazil and the USA.
If possible, give Russia ~100 dollars per turn or every alternate turn to fund the Russian's conventional unconventional warfare (or is it unconventional conventional warfare?) from their NE holdouts.
__________________________________________________________
V-E has been achieved!

Final phase: Journey to the West
In Iberia, deploy ships and arty to defend against Brazilian and American ships.
When you are safe, sail to defend the British islands nearby and appropriate them if possible.
Build up a flotilla of troops and sail them towards Cuba.
Cuba is a safer target because there's only 1 city and we are less likely to encounter heavy resistance there compared to other fronts.
Plus, it's an ideal base to attack into both continents.
Gather the Italian troops and raise new armies in North Africa and Iberia. These will form the expeditionary corps that will enter South America and conquer the Brazilian homelands.
Escalate your funding for the Canadians and Mexicans to enhance their fighting ability.
This allows them to better contain and distract the Brazilians and Americans.
__________________________________________________________
Surprisingly, even Egypt came to help out.
I guess that Egypt has priorities that align with mine more closely compared to the Spanish who sailed towards the USA instead of Brazil.
