You know what would be a difficult conquest? Uk 1815. You got 3 generals on land, only one of which can heal. No backup whatsover. And tons of french spam heading your way. And the one you get who can heal is Wellesley. In an area with literally only 1 mountain. But really UK isn't too hard because France is easy to hold off when they decide to go for your land. The hardest is probably Canada or Mexico. You have to look after Gran Columbia, and if you’re unlucky France and their allies will rule Europe by the time USA is gone. |

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 My choices for each year: 1798: 1-Star: Netherlands (Obviously. Just use the Netherlands 1798 farming method. If you don’t know about it, you can find it here: european-war-4.boards.net/thread/9288/1798-netherlands-auto-guide?page=1&scrollTo=225257)2-Star: Sweden (One of two best conquests to farm Coalition badges, thus it's one of the easiest 2-star Coalition conquests in the game. Kill Denmark, then help your allies against France and Ottomans. Your allies will likely carry you through after the Danish are gone) 3-Star: Ottoman (You can clear this conquest in like 30 turns if everything goes well. Most of your forces deal with HRE. After Austria is gone, focus on Russia) 1806: 1-Star: Saxony (Follow Deleted's guide. If everything goes well, you will get a S-rank and unlock Sakurako as a princess) 2-Star: Sweden (Very similar to 1798) 3-star: Austria (Just spam militia to hold your cities while half of your forces deal with Ottomans, the other with France and company) 1812: 1-Star: Morocco (All you need to do is declare war on Algeria and kill them, then kill Naples and Italy. From then on, your allies will do the rest, and the Conquest will be pretty much won. If necessary, lend-lease Canada and Mexico a bit) 2-Star: Warsaw ( I chose this one because you can declare war on Prussia and kill them easily, then go after Russia. The annoying part is having to sail to North America, since even when your allies go there too, killing Mexico and Canada takes quite some time, and USA never completely defeats them. Declare war on Morocco and Egypt by Turn 10 so that they won’t kill Algeria when the latter enters the war) 3-star: USA (Removes the annoying part of having to go to North America. By the time Mexico and Canada are gone, your allies will likely have near-complete control over Europe and Africa. Go after Great Britain if they’re still alive after North America is under your control. Like with any other Alliance 1812 country, declare war on Morocco and Egypt so that they will send their forces to attack elsewhere and not kill Algeria) 1815: 1-Star: Morocco (Almost the same as 1812. Spend your unused gold on donations to Gran Colombia so that they defeat Brazil and help against USA. Lend-lease Spain if France stops attacking them so that the Spanish will counterattack) 2-Star: Algeria (Easiest 2-star conquest in 1815. Kill Morocco and Egypt, then go help against Austria and Russia. Lend-lease USA constantly so that they can hold until help arrive. This time, Brazil will help you, so at least USA won’t fight alone. Start funding Brazil if they have a hard time against Gran Colombia) 3-Star: USA (Pretty much the same as 1812. Fund Brazil if Gran Colombia brings them a hard time. After Mexico and Canada are gone, invade Greenland, then Great Britain, then Scandinavia and finally Russia if your allies haven’t captured those places yet. Also fund Algeria if they have a hard time against Egypt and Morocco) Note: My description about those conquests is based on my personal experience with such conquests when I did them. Try out sardinia 1806 once you have 2 or 3 fully upgraded infantry generals. It is very easy. I just did it. It was a complete joke. The initial push is hard sure, but once you beat it around turn 20, the rest is ez pz |

In 1815 you have to land in britain, crush them, then invade scandinavia, crush them, then finish somewhere around russia. Not hard but tedious I just did that. Yeah, it was a bit of pain, especially seeing Bavaria and Denmark and Russia taking territory from Italy and Naples. Thankfully I got a A-rank and won’t have to do this again unless I want to. I’m proud of my choices, though. Not all of them were the easiest. |

Usually French enthusiasm dies out after 28-30 turns (a script, apparently) and they will be attacked on all sides. But Ottoman cities in the Middle East and Asia Minor are a real problem. No one will bother to conquer them. And it takes time to capture them with Colombian units. All in all Gran Colombia is the safest way to complete 2* country in 1815, but hardly a record material... I just did algeria. It went fine the us front was a stalemate. Took me 97 rounds, but I ended up with an s rank. Probably going to either do denmark or sweden next. For the one star, egypt, naples, and bavaria are the best choices right? Out of those 3, I think, Egypt is the less stressful one. But I really don't like how Eastern troops look like in EW6  , so I played Bavaria most of the time... |

No one will bother to conquer them. And it takes time to capture them with Colombian units. All in all Gran Colombia is the safest way to complete 2* country in 1815, but hardly a record material... Is Morocco a good choice? I believe that if I can take Algeria out, send help to Spain and attack Naples from behind, the conquest is pretty much won. France is strong at the beginning, but Spanish resistance is fierce. Portugal is no pushover either. If help from AI Morocco is enough to push France back, then help from a strong player Morocco might be enough to even steamroll France. Prussia can hold out and even push back France. When Bavaria and the Scandinavians join, France will be in a tough spot for sure. While the Ottomans, Italy and Naples are fierce, Austria can hold out pretty well against them. If one of those 3 countries get taken out, the remaining ones will have a hard time. If I manage to take both Naples and Italy out, then it’s just the Ottomans vs Austria and Russia, which isn’t going to be a easy fight for the Alliance's Middle-Eastern great power. Mexico and Canada can take USA out without much lend-leasing. Now, I’m worried about Gran Colombia. Brazil usually takes them out, but when I tried a Naples 1815 conquest, I was shocked to see Gran Colombia defeating Brazil, with their starting generals alive. The rule of thumb is the less enemies you have at the start - the less stressful it is. You can concentrate all your forces and knock out your enemies one after another. |

The only ally I had that capitulated was the tribal union |

Yep egypt 1815 is the easiest country to play as. Its because they usually will actually capitulate (unless lend leased heavily) if you play as anyone other than them. Their front is ridiculously easy as there are tons of lvl 2 cities around them. You will make use of all your allies (denmark, sweden, and bavaria will be very helpful towards the second half). Once you defeat the two italies just invade the ottoman empire and you are done.

It was quite entertaining to see Spain taking nearly their entire territory back after some lend-leasing. |

Is there any new guides I should include and/or any changes on the difficulty of nations?

Is there any new guides I should include and/or any changes on the difficulty of nations? I would rate Austria 1806 as “medium”. “Medium” because you can take 5 enemy countries out considerably fast, but also because you need to spam militia to make sure the cities stay unconquered . But holding them isn’t hard at all, just requires some micro-managing. After that, the conquest is very easy. |

I would also rate Morocco 1812 as “Very Easy” and 1815 as “Easy”.
In 1812, the only guy that directly threatens you is Algeria, which isn’t hard at all to defeat. After that, just conquer Sicily, then the rest of Naples, then Italy. Once it’s done, you have pretty much won.
In 1815, it’s pretty much the same. However, you need to lend-lease Gran Colombia until they defeat Brazil, and maybe lend-lease Spain if they’ are having a hard time against France. But once Bavaria and the Scandinavians join in, things will immediately start going well for your side.

If he fails to take the island of palma, you have to fight one less general. 2. Ottoman spam comes your way which you can block off with line infantry. 3. Morocco is a very useful ally for helping out in the peninsular war and finishing off algeria (I usually go for italy after I capture tunisia). Egypt as an ally is not very useful against the ottomans. Slightly easier for many different reasons. |

I just did it recently. I laughed at how easy it was. The only frustrating part is the naval invasion of the two italies. All of your allies do their part. |

, so I played Bavaria most of the time...
