Well... If you thought France 1812 was hard, you haven't tried France 1815. I have tried this one, got up to turn 22 before quitting... I was actually in a good position, Spain and Portugal were gone, my allies (US and Brazil) were actually winning... (Sort of, the Italians and Ottomans lost half their cities). But the sheer size and strength of the enemy was ridiculous... Thus I decided to quite. Anyways, I was wondering if you guys had any tips on doing France 1815...

The best tip of playing France 1815 is to not play France 1815. It's like playing Prussia 1815 but 5 times harder. Never even attempted to play it, but i guess the best way is to defeat the Prussians ASAP. Also, it's better to defeat the enemy British and Prussian generals first before attempting to capture the city, since capturing the city first would easily be recaptured since the enemy generals would be pounding your city defender like some pornstar in a gangbang, and all your resources, units and/or general will be wasted just for a city to be recaptured. You're also given 2 old guards near the border of Prussia, which is good. I'll probably try it later, but i actually think this may be easier than France 1812. |

Hmm... Just tried France in 1812 and 1815. I have to raise 1812 to hard and 1815 to very hard. Right now don't have time to do it.

Reason is that you have less land to control, and the Spanish front is weaker compared to 1812. Britain can slightly be a problem because of Naval superiority in the English Channel. But Russia is weaker, so there's that. The problem similar to Prussia 1815 is beating the enemy generals, and once that's out of the way you can actually progress unlike Prussia 1815, because you won't deal with the annoying old guard spam. Also, Italy, Naples and the Ottomans are competent allies, and Austria, being Austria, loses to them hard. Sweden, Denmark and Bavaria enters too late, and if you play your cards right you can capture Prussia and some Russian towns before Sweden enters the war. This is of course based on me playing just a few rounds of 1815. I failed 1812 by the way, resources aren't enough to sustain my victory in the Spanish peninsula, while holding of the British from capturing Paris. I think the strategy for both 1815 and 1812 France is the opposite playstyle of Prussia 1812 : instead of focusing cities and defending your cities using Militias, you focus on defeating enemy forces before attempting to capture cities. It's also easier to manage your resources for 1815, so there's also that. |

In terms of defeating Spain, I always find it annoying to have to capture their island cities... One strategy I tried was moving Napoleon and Co. (this is 1815, 1812 wouldn't work because I tried it, and the distance is too far) Into Spain to assist my other generals (They can swing back around once Spain is defeated, it also makes the Spanish a lot easier to defeat)... Do you think that is a good strat? |

Do you think that is a good strat? If Napoleon can make it quick enough to the Spanish front, then yes, but it also weakens your Prussian front. But if your generals can hold on and beat your enemies there, then good. That requires you to place atleast 2 of your generals to in the Prussian front to compensate for Napoleon. The Prussian front is the hardest point for France 1815, since the Russians and Austrians would send their generals to help their Prussian allies. Also, if you upgraded Sophia as a princess, she's really useful here. Also, Spain is easy, so Napoleon isn't that needed. You have a free grenadier guard near the border of Spain, so placing your cavalry general like Murat there would be enough. Italy also comes to aid you with the Prussians around turn 9. After defeating the majority of enemy generals, the British would be the next greatest threat. For some reason, they only start sending a large enough force that can capture France around turn 12. Just prevent most of their forces from landing if possible, and focus all your forces upwards towards Berlin. France also has a good economy, so bribing Sweden and Denmark once to delay them for 2 more turns shouldn't be a problem. |

France 1815 is fun. Challenging too. Definitely need some strong generals and high tech tho.

I have Murat with health and Cavalry Commander upgraded (that's it unfortunately), Same with Massena and Alexander 1st (Only health and Aura ability upgraded). I also have the 4 free generals not upgraded... Do you think this would be enough to complete France 1815? |

I went all in and collapsed Portugal, Spain, and Morocco. However, Austria was very tedious to capitulate but I finally did. Than I wiped Bavaria off the map. Really, I think it is important to save as many generals as possible for the European push. It is more beneficial to push hard against Wellesley and Blucher in the beginning (you have strong art generals). That way you can get started on Austria early. Minimize how much you are spending on the peninsular war. |

I also have the 4 free generals not upgraded... Do you think this would be enough to complete France 1815? You can, but it would be hard. I have Massena, Karl, Barclay, Murat, Blucher, Mahmud II and Lan, the last 2 not upgraded. I also have a max princess sophia for that 20 % damage reduction. I placed Karl, Massena and Barclay in the Prussian front, while i let Blucher and Murat just do whatever they want in the Peninsula. What i learned is that it's better to just go straight for Spain's capital as early as possible, after you defeat the Spanish generals of course. I did this the first time, and the Spanish Peninsula was easy. But i misplayed in the Prussian front, so restart. Second time, i didn't go straight to Madrid, but rather i let the majority of my forces go for Sevilla via the south, which let the Portuguese a free passageway in the center and north. They were able to recapture my cities, it pissed me off, restart. But in the Prussian front, i did well, until i didn't. British were sending their forces to me, which were annoying, but not much of a threat. I went straight to capture Berlin, and the Russians started sending their units to attack me. Easily repelled. I should have either captured Berlin and then return to deal with the Austrians, but i tunneled for a bit and forgot some of my cities. Spamming old guards from berlin, i started capturing the surrounding Prussian cities, but for some reason my income was the same. I realized the Austrians were recapturing the cities i had. That, along with the Spain debacle, restart. Stopped at turn 1 tho, i decided to just farm netherlands 1798 first, and finish France 1815 later. Also, in both instances i played the game, Ney and Davout didn't survive, even with Sophia's city aura. |

Question: At what point do you start researching/upgrading tech to get like the Old Guards, or the Krupp Cannon? It is really expensive to upgrade tech so... |
