Know this,bong boy. Getting an 3 star 1806 is not so impressive,we all done it. Go for 1812 or 1816 then show us something.😊 I have it right here.   |

Keep in mind that this was done without Birth of the Empire tech.

I did this conquest more for fun, the A-rank was just a bonus. I was even considering going after the Iroquois since I had become the undisputed power of North America, but Britain, Spain and Morocco were on the brink of collapse and thus I preferred to leave the Iroquois alone.

The only part where things seemed to go wrong was when Algeria became under attack by a massive combined army of Egypt and Morocco. That’s when I started to send resources to Algeria nearly every turn. Eventually, the Italians, Ottomans and Bavarians arrived, which then proceeded to weaken Egypt and Morocco, allowing the Algerians to take most of their cities and regain their dominance in Africa.
France had also become under attack by a big army from Spain and Portugal. But all it took was some lend-leasing and the Bavarians to help the French counterattack. Thankfully the Iberians had only threatened France's border with Spain, the rest of France was safe.

Bavaria is very strong for a 1-star country. By turn 17, I took a look at Europe and was shocked to find out that Bavaria had taken the majority of Austria over, and was preparing to invade Russia.

It sees that I do well with strong countries that are bordered by enemies of similar strength, but that when managed correctly, can be defeated without difficulty and provide a big help for my allies since said enemies are often of great importance (In this case, Canada and Mexico, since those were the Coalition countries charged with securing North America).

You know, I just noticed how similar USA and Algeria are.
-Both are ALWAYS on the French side.
-Both are only playable in the game’s later eras (1812 and 1815).
-Both are responsible for securing a continental front that isn’t the European one (USA is responsible for North America and Algeria is responsible for Africa)
-Both are bordered by two countries that are also responsible for securing that front for their side (Canada and Mexico/Morocco and Egypt, 1815 also has the Tribal Union, even though they are the weakest playable country in the game, so they aren’t worth considering). But when those countries get defeated, it’s a major victory for the French side as they have less fronts to manage and they now have an even stronger ally.
-Both countries require interference from their side to ensure their success when not played as (Lend-leasing, for example).
-Both are bordered by natives.

I don’t know why egypt is listed as very hard in 1812. Its slightly harder than morocco, which is the easiest nation to play as in the entire conquest. Unless you lack many generals. The main issue with Bavaria and Naples is you will actually have to sail to north america whereas for egypt and morocco you don’t. Slightly harder as in there is more money to the western side of algeria than there is to the eastern side. You do have to have a couple of strong generals though. Thats literally the only distinction between it and morocco, |

Algeria is in a weak position. You have to lend lease both then and the us in 1812. |

I’d say the only very hard countries to play as in ew6 conquest are
Gran Columbia (if you play stupidly),
France 1815,
Tribal Union (not hard but a constant feeling of cringe when you play as them),
Sardinia 1798,
The Rhine 1806 (not hard but a bunch of garbage units making it a painful start),
Portugal 1812/1815 (also another one with an awful start).
Maybe Mexico/Canada 1815
Austria 1812
Most conquests are not all that hard except for France 1815. That one you have to be smart in, or you will have to take on waves on top of waves of enemies.
Austria 1812 is not as hard as France 1815, but you are surrounded on all fronts by your enemies. But if you are smart, I am sure its not too bad (can’t remember if I have done it before or not). But even in it, you capitulate bavaria than head south for italy and you win. The other ones just have terrible starts or awful early game positions.

USA and Bavaria are cake. The easiest 2-star seems to be Denmark. Taking Sweden-Finland is very easy, and then you can push for Russia. I’m worried about Algeria and USA, though. I can lend-lease them like there’s no tomorrow and yet they seem to not use their resources. |

Beat 2 star for 1812: I don’t think its algeria. I remember it being not so good for 1812.
Prussia is a great one as well because you get overpowered generals and can push far into undefended france early on.
Another great one is Poland. Protect napoleon and eating russia is very very easy.
Avoid: Portugal, Italy,
