Hard nations that aren’t difficult to survive as = Doesn’t need generals, just good tech. Hard nations that are difficult to survive as = Need good generals and tech. Nice! The other country that is pretty bad is Morocco. Landing in Spain is a huge issue (but I think I did pull it off once successfully). 1815 is a bit different. 1815 is where you absolute have to play as fast as possible or you lose. Oh and the enemy has maxed out tech, marshal generals, and the best items in the game. Well, here’s the thing: When I do 1815, my generals and tech will also be like that. |

Remember that my allies also have maxed out tech. Or else, France wouldn’t be able to steamroll so easily.

Heard that 1815 was really hard and picked Algeria. Well, it has been going quite well so far:  The U.S. has captured all of Canada's major cities and now they are pushing into the Dominion. The Mexicans are next.  Brazil has conquered Peru and should defeat Gran Colombia in 10 turns or less. Things will only get worse for Mexico as they will also have to face the Empire of Brazil aside from the United States of America.  France is handling Europe like a champ. They have conquered like half of Spain, and stripped the Iberians of their ability to steamroll effectively. They are also advancing into Prussia.  The Italians, Neapolitans and Ottomans are advancing into Austria and Russia. Murat is invincible for the enemy. Meanwhile, I have conquered almost all of Morocco. Egypt is my next target, and they don’t look like they are going to survive. After that, I will invade Spain from the south, then capture Portugal. I don’t think I have a lot to do after that. Probably will help the French against Bavaria, Prussia, the Scandinavians and Russia. |

The Spanish Empire is gone, dealing a major blow to the Coalition.  Egypt is gone. I practically rule Africa now. Only Morocco's leftmost city and the Tribal Union's capital remain. Lol, I’m too lazy.  Portugal thinks they can intimidate me by sending an Armored Car.  |

However, the Car is gone by the next turn.  OH SNAP! France has taken London, and it doesn’t look like they will give it back easily!  I wonder, why did Gran Colombia even bother to send this Ship of the Line? They should be more worried about the fact that Brazil is taking their territory (Most importantly, Bogotá is gone) and that Mexico can’t help much since they are too focused on the U.S.  |

Yeah that's pretty much normal 1815. No AI country stands up well against AI France and their cheating army of Guards at the size of 3x their population limit.

Also, it seems that the AI uses more special units in the later conquests. That's a huge hassle for Austria as the Ottomans also spam huge amounts of mamluk cavalry. Those are tougher than Old Guards and can't be killed effectively by militia guerilla tactics. And France, as you know, have broken units.

They formed a massive army, but that was just to make it seem like they had the situation under control, when in reality they didn’t. Bavaria is now gone and now I’m working with Italy, the Neapolitan and Ottomans to push into Prussia, Scandinavia and Russia. Their spam wall is gone. Mexico is under attack by Brazil. The Brazilians have taken Cuba away and they’re now threatening Mexico City. The U.S. hasn’t taken an offensive role, but they aren’t letting the Canadians move into their bigger cities. |

The naval spam is the worst when trying to cross the atlantic |

I’m only crossing the Atlantic after UK is gone, which it fortunately isn’t far from. |

These are my recommendations. However, I am a speedrunner rather than a noob so these could be different for everybody. However, some of these conquests even I have trouble beating and my generals are really strong. Great system you have. 1806: Very Easy: Netherlands, Spain, Sardinia Easy: Ottoman, Prussia, Poland, Austria, Medium: United Kingdom, France, Russia, Saxony, Sweden, Denmark, Egypt Hard: Morocco, Sicily, Italy, Rhine (debatably “Very Hard”) 1812: Very Easy: USA, Morocco, Bavaria Easy: Egypt, UK, Spain, Russia, Ottoman, Sweden, Denmark, Naples Medium: Algeria, Prussia, Poland, Canada, Mexico, Italy, Portugal Hard: Austria, France 1815: Very Easy: Algeria, Easy: Egypt, USA, Brazil, France, Ottoman, Naples, Bavaria, Denmark, Sweden, Spain, Morocco Medium: Canada, Mexico, Prussia, Italy, Hard: United Kingdom, Austria, Portugal, Russia Very Hard: Gran Columbia, Canada, Mexico, Tribal Union Wait, what? Mexico and Canada 1815 are Medium but Very Hard at the same time? |

 A-rank (Which was my goal) with 142 turns. Thank god the game takes into consideration that you need to pretty much take the whole world over. |

A A-rank with the U.S. in 1815 shouldn’t be difficult. Naples either.

So, would be glad to help if needed That’s probably going to be the hardest record to beat. Russia means that you count on Canada and Mexico, right? |
