Does anybody have a guide for Sweden 1798? I tried it, it’s truly easy, but some of my most important allies such as HRE and Naples fell which made the Conquest super boring since I had to deal with both Spain and France. Did you declare on italy turn 1? That is very important. The other thing is to start sending your portuguese resources turn 5. You probably need massena too before you grind the netherlands, otherwise you will have to spend money on new troops which means you will have less money to bribe portugal. I will try it without Massena. Thanks for your advice. If I can’t complete it, I will know why. |

If sardinia capitulates for any reason (it shouldn’t) restart |

If sardinia capitulates for any reason (it shouldn’t) restart That will be hard because Sardinia is the first target of Lannes, southern France and Spain. Nelson, Smith and the rest of the Mediterranean Fleet are nearby, but I don’t know if they will be of great help. Oh wait, Sardinia joins later. But I still don’t know if keeping them alive will be easy. |

By then, lannes is killed by nelson. I really don’t know why easytech did that. Yes it should be easy as italy if declared war on will capitulate turn 11. By then, british, naples, and sardinia will rule the sea. |

Sorry if this is more of a historical question, but what’s the difference between the Holy Roman Empire and the Austrian Empire? The HRE composed various territories which included Austria, Bavaria, Saxony etc, while the Austrian Empire was composed of just Austria itself? Since the game treats them as essentially the same faction. Also, it makes me wonder why the Austrian Empire is more powerful than the HRE if the HRE was bigger. Based on prior knowledge and some assumptions, the HRE was made up of numerous states under varying levels of control or influence. It's most powerful state was the Austrian Empire ruled by the Hasburgs from Vienna. That is most likely why the HRE is treated as the same as Austria. ET likely also considered that there were states within the HRE that operated more independently from the central government in Vienna (like Prussia, the Papal States and numerous Italian and Germanic states). That's probably why the more notable ones act as their own state in ET's games. To reiterate, these are my opinions and assumptions built on some prior knowledge so take this with a lot of salt. |

No worries, it makes sense. |

Just pick 1-2 coalition country be done with it. I’m not sure. I’m always afraid of France because they're know to spam more than any other country, especially in 1815 where they single-handily defeat most of the European powers because they spam Old Guards and Horse Grenadiers, which are arguably the best special units in the game. If I play as a coalition country, is the spam bad? In some eras, I’m in doubt if I should play as the Ottoman Empire or as the Russian Empire. |

Denmark 1798 is not easy. You got Sweden then Britain,Prussians and then Russia attacking. Depends if France actually will be aggresive not stupid or if Britain will invade france. If Britain invades Denmark(as they always do) in my case,then it's game over. I think Medium is the term to describe it. Denmark is an amazing ally, why play as them? They do half of the heavy lifting for their faction. Crushing Sweden for a beginner should be doable, so is maybe naval invading Danzig, but it will be a very long conquest as well. Best two star 1798 imo is Prussia. Crush Netherlands, Crush Poland, Crush Denmark and you win. Bribe Portugal tho occassionally. Lol, Denmark is like the Australia of EW6. They are specialized in building huge fleets, destroying the enemy navy and harassing ground units and cities. |

I haven’t played WC3, but I have played WC4 extensively and I’ve always used missiles to invade Brisbane. |

Well here’s what 1939 Brisbane is about: You have to hack at a general on a Field Artillery (strongest unit in that game) with 240 hp (which is actually enormous) in a city surrounded by 1 plain tile and 4 sea. And airstrikes can’t reach it. |

Couple that with FAs huge damage and no weakness and you have a tougher city to take than IRL Stalingrad. |
