Believe it or not, I think they nerfed Netherlands 1798 a bit as I got careless and Britain invaded and actually conquered me. Earlier I disbanded all my units to skip turns faster but currently you need generals on Inf and Cav unit to fend off the British. Also I found Sardinia 1806 extremely easy and satisfying. Great rewards, too. Definitely much easier than Saxony 1806. You can't afford to lose any unit really. Ever since I got Massena with Ambulance, I always put him onto the initial Inf and kept him inside the city. There are 2 generals that will come to you (or 3 if you're unlucky, but this is a rare situation). 1. That Cav general from HRE. This is easily fended off as he didn't do much damage. 2. Paget (Cav gen from GB) and a group of Inf and one Art. This is pretty rough, if you didn't kill the Art. Just let Paget attacks your city, and only attack Art using your initial Cav 3. This is the rare situation. After Hamburg falls, Blucher comes to you. And deal massive amount of damage. Both of enemy Blucher and my Massena falls to like 10 hp (city has 0 hp), but my Massena prevails bcs of Art support from France and Denmark. |

Great rewards, too. Definitely much easier than Saxony 1806. Oh damn, i always found Sardinia 1806 hard, at least when i started playing. What was your strategy if you don't mind me asking. I did not do anything special: I spawned 3 units to cover all 4 cells of my island: Massena and Karl, and Napoleon on a heavy artillery. Massena, Karl and Sicily general attacked all French and Spainish ships. When Sicily guy died, I spawned Blucher on infantry unit. Whenever my guys lost a lot of health, I stopped attacking unless it was a clean kill. So they could heal a bit. At the same time I harassed Corsica city non-stop with my Napoleon to deplete city hit points. I put him on the north-east cell, closest to Corsica. When I killed really many ships and pressure fall down a bit (turn 15-20), I let my strongest unit Massena sail and take the empty and depleted Corsica. From this moment no one could do anything to me, so I waited as my European allied steamrolled France and Spain (they spent too much money on ships attacking me perhaps haha). Then I sailed east and defeated Egypt and helped everyone to finish Ottoman. That said, I spent a lot of my initial money on bribes to immediately dispose of Poland, for example. For that money, I could have built a palace with Sophia instead and it would be 10 times easier to hold my island until turn 20. |

Can someone give me a rough idea for doing Britain 1798 with only free generals from USA + Canada and Massena?
My idea is to going to Dutch using Paget and Jourdan with some backup (maybe Falsen too) and at the same time having my Massena conquering Spain using Portugal as bait. Mediterranean army will either help conquering Corsica + Italy or just strolling around (I prefer the former). And I believe I've seen a note that when playing as Coalition side, declare Spain and Italy at first turn. What do you think?
Note: if you think my idea need some changes, then give it to me. I'm not the best strategist by any means, and I'm pretty sure there's a need of some tweaks

I'm not the best strategist by any means, and I'm pretty sure there's a need of some tweaks I'd leave Spain alone,they will focus on Portugal first then turn to Ireland, no need to declare. Italy,not sure if declare on them will help you much,unless you plan on harassing them with your mediterrin fleet. Going for Netherlands first is a solid plan as France is strong. Also,keep an eye out for Sweden, they may fail try keep that from happening. |

I'm not the best strategist by any means, and I'm pretty sure there's a need of some tweaks The win conditions are destroying the French force at the Mediterranean, helping Beating Spain ASAP and beating Denmark. Without those 3, the French, Italians and ottomans will be isolated and will be easy pickings. I suggest placing Massena in one of your riflemen that is stationed south of Spain. Just delay the Spanish until Portugal enters the war and you can go on the offensive. If you can capture one of the cities in Spain, good. As for the naval units in Corsica, i'm not sure if you are able to beat them, but i suggest going for the ships and lannes when he lands, and just try surrounding the enemy generals. Try getting Treville below half health, then it should be easy. Once you beat the French forces there, just focus your attention on Italy. Just keep your ships 1 hex away from Napoleon's brother when attacking rome, that usually baits him to land in the water, which you can just bombard him. Send Paget and Jourdan to Denmark. For the French, you have 2 choices: playing defensively and have naval dominance in the english channel, or be aggressive and try to land as much units as possible in France. I suggest the first one since you don't have upgraded tech, and you may loose units when crossing the Channel. Bribe Prussia and Naples once, and maybe Russia if you can afford it. Also declare war on Poland the moment Prussia enters the war. You'll win probably around the 45 turn mark, enough for an S rank. |

Thanks Deleted, and silvercreek, for the ideas. Now I just need to actually pull it off at the game. Just need to make sure nothing forgotten and left behind (another reason why I love to go on offensive when farming Netherlands 1798. Micromanaging is hard when you aren't experienced to do so) |

Thanks Deleted , and silvercreek , for the ideas. Now I just need to actually pull it off at the game. Just need to make sure nothing forgotten and left behind (another reason why I love to go on offensive when farming Netherlands 1798. Micromanaging is hard when you aren't experienced to do so) Going aggressive is overall the best strategy, since beating the enemy prevents them from overwhelming and beating you, which is a defensive maneuver, but sometimes being defensive and instead of just outright defeating the enemy in battle, outmaneuvering them and being in a superior position is the best choice, which most of the time requires defensive play, despite the overall idea as aggressive. Basically offense and defense should be used based on the situation  |

I think 1806 Morocco isn't that Hard. In my play that was easier than Netherland as the Coalition defeat France and Spain after around 50-60 turns.
The only thing I have to do is def my land from anything Spain and France then send an army to defeat Egypt and Ottoman.
I have an A with 1 unupgraded gold general and the free generals that I get from campaign.
With 2 gold generals I try to auto from turn 1 but after 100 turns, the only enemy left is Ottoman and my ally keep sending units to the left side of the map.
Also in 1806 Coalition have higher advantage than France (without diplomatic).

Also in 1806 Coalition have higher advantage than France (without diplomatic). I agree. 1806 coalition is more โaggressiveโ against the imperials. Sicily sometimes get higher advantage for conquering italy, ottomans are not careful at the start, as the austrians and russians came for rescuing prussia, france will get stomped, and sweden (sometimes) get advantage to win the scandinavia. |

Has anyone tried Egypt 1812. I find this to be incredibly difficult. I have karl, massena, devout, murat, nelson, john, hood, and czarovich Alexander I. I have tried two different strategies twice each. First, send murat, karl and john to fight Algeria, and alex I, massena and davout to the ottomans. I destroy algeria and take most of asia minor (all but Tbilisi) but by that time all thier base are belong to America, and Europe is down to one row of russia, and ireland.
Second. All the generals together sweep across algeria. I capture tunis quickly and turn north to Naples, paying the morrocons to finish off algeria. The navy instead og guarding my coast from invading neapolitans attack the ottomans with force and are supported by heavy art and grenadiers. The middle east is less successful but safe, and by the time i take Sicily the Italians and Naples have mounted a strong defence and Prussia, austria,and sweeden gave up. Any tips?

I am open to a discussion on generals if that is way to beat this. And in the first senario i only make it to Tripoli in africa amd and Morocco takes the rest. |

First question: Why do you want to play egypt it's not the best country for 1812, maybe you can play as morocco, Napels or bavaria. you're generals shoudn't be to weak but Why 2 navy gens? It's possible but then you need dabrovski instead of davout if you want to improve your team because of his aura. and you split your generals equally, but this way their auras have less sense. Maybe donation also will help to keep europe under your control. |

Maybe donation also will help to keep europe under your control. i traded dabrowski. He wasnt good enough. No survivability, Davout is better. I spam cavalry with murat, and art with alex. Just because murat's aura doesnt effect davout doesnt mean it is not working for me. And besides even when the whole team is together i still cant get past central europe.... maybe less agressive more donations. I like to pkay challenging nations it is fun. |
