In 1812 or 1815? Regardless, I agree. You need both good generals and good tech for it. But once you have decent equipment, you can 1) stop austria before you even land in austria as naples and 2) help defend against your enemies and collapse france early in 1815. Bavaria 1812 is doable, Bavaria 1815 is really hard tho. If you can't defend with the Prussians, it's lights out. Agreed. But you can do so by putting sophia and spamming line infantry |

Line infantry I use when I'm not sure if militia will hold it strong enough. Militia can also make entrenchments, which I find very useful sometimes. They're cheap so in certain situations you can spam militia every turn out of a city(ies) and then just walk them out, make a new one, make entrenchments

I think France 1815 is easy, with the generals they give you, destroying the spanish and pushing the allies is not that hard. The hard part is maintaining America.

I never maintain America when I play as a European power in 1812 and 1815. The only consequence this has is that you have to spend large amounts if resources to retake the entire continent but it's not impossible per se, only very annoying. |

This begs the question, Should we start on America first? Either as coalition or the French allies. Seems to me,north American needs to be secured anyway,so starting as France (very strong) going to America with a force and maintaining europe, maybe that's the way. |

Seems to me,north American needs to be secured anyway,so starting as France (very strong) going to America with a force and maintaining europe, maybe that's the way. I think it's better to be on the Coalition side in Europe, since all you have to do is prevent the French from destroying your allies, which is also the hard part, since you need to stop the French from destroying you. Denmark and Sweden are your best bet since they are safe, and are near enough so you can build units and beat the french, although i'd say Denmark is better, since you have access to Greenland, which you can use as a place to start an invasion of the Americas. Donating to Gran Columbia would be your priority, and once they are winning, donating to Egypt ( until it falls) and Austria would be your next priority. The safest route tho is playing Naples or Algeria, since France is stronk, and they just buldoze the enemy, and your goal is to stop Sweden and Denmark from entering mainland Europe. Just donate to America routinely, and Brazil should be able to beat Gran Columbia on its own. |

What's the exact strategy for Naples 1812? I send all troops to push against Austria.By turn 14,Austria is almost dead.But there are some problems:
-I have little money to donate
-Algeria isn't winning
-Even worse,America is losing.It has lost its western teritorry,and they don't use money to buy troops.
-France has lost Zaragoza,which they captured in turn 3 or 4
-Spain stole Marseille

You'll just spend 40-60 more turns conquering the entire province. As Naples, I recommend declaring war against Austria on turn 1. Then, cross through Italy to hit the Austrian flank. When you have enough troops and resources to sustain your Eastern front against Prussia and Russia, send troops to North Africa. Usually, Egypt is likely to be overrun so attacking Morocco is a better choice, especially because it's a good entryway into the Iberian Peninsula and North America. If worse comes to worst, use the overland route into Iberia by invading across Spanish/Portuguese held cities in France. |
