Saxony 1806(getting that one star conquest reward)

After completing the conquests and collecting the conquest rewards for 1798, the next conquest, 1806 awaits. The year when the Prussians experienced first hand the French blitzkrieg, which they never forgot, nor forgiven. Also because of their humiliating defeat, it would transform the Prussian army into the strongest war machine the world has ever seen. Anyway, this guide isn't about Prussia, but rather Saxony. There are only a few 1 star country in 1806, which is the Netherlands, Saxony, Sardinia and Morocco. Sardinia used to be a good candidate, but after the update it got significantly harder to do so. Netherlands is doable, but the problem is that the British would be sending pretty much their whole army towards you, and Prussia also joins the war early, so you need to prepare for both of them. Morocco is hard, especially if you only have one general with low tech. Saxony, if you know what you're doing, is the easiest of the 4 one star countries. Some may argue that Netherlands is easier, but this guide is for new players, and new players may only have Massena and the free generals, or no generals at all. And you may be asking: " how can you survive as Saxony 1806?" And that is a valid question. Located just at the border of Prussia, surrounded by Prussian generals, how do you hope to even survive the onslaught? Simple, the french. Napoleon himself will command an army that will help you against the Prussia, and surviving the onslaught isn't that hard. And winning after surviving will be really easy. So here is the guide for Saxony 1806.


Saxony 1806 guide:

Generals needed: none/ free generals
Techs needed: some tech for light infantry hp and defense
Items needed: none/ Ambulance
Other things needed: Music on the background 


*For my other guides, i usually use color coding for the difficulty, and some color coding for the movement of your troop, but for this guide, i find it unnecessary, since Saxony is meant to be easy, so all the text would be colored green ( the first few turns would probably be blue for some ). Also, this guide will be quite short, so there's that.


Turn 1 to Turn 10: 

Objective here is to survive. Move your cavalry one tile at the left side, and then move your general to the right occupying the stable. Then end your turn. Don't worry Dresden, since the Prussians don't have enough firepower to capture it. Turn 2, let your general and your heavy cavalry attack berlin, and build some militia in Dresden, then end your turn. Turn 3 should be like this :











Capture Berlin, and build a militia (or line infantry if your militia can't survive the onslaught), or a grenadier and place your general Massena or Gates in your Grenadier in Dresden. End your turn.


An optional thing you can do is if you have Princess Sophia, either build a palace in Berlin or Dresden, and place her there. She doesn't need to be upgraded, since 10 % damage reduction in one tile around the city is already good enough.






 If you want to play safe, build a palace in Dresden and Place her there. But if you are confident your unit survives or Dresden wouldn't fall to enemy hands, then just build a Palace in Berlin and place here there.

From turn 4 to 10, just keep building militias. Use your general to harass Scharnhorst. Send your cavalry to a city you think will fall the next turn so you can capture it. Also, avoid sending your general/s to capture cities when the city is surrounded by enemy units, unless of course they are strong generals. But even still, i advise against it, for they would take a significant amount of damage, or even die. Just play defensively until the Prussian attacks die off. Just send your militias near ally or enemy cities you can capture the nest turn, then capture them. Simple as that.











Turn 10 above: 

Doesn't matter what you do here, since Denmark wins, France wins, Italy wins, the Ottomans win, and the Spanish will win. Just continue protecting your major cities while protecting your capture cities. Spam militia/line infantry, and if you see an opportunity to capture a city, do so. Also, build universities and military facilities, and just keep getting blast, and keep blasting enemy cities. Donate your unnecessary gold, and you should win before turn 60.

That's it. Saxony 1806 seems hard, but it's easy if you know what to do. Now enjoy that 20k gold, 450 medals and bear skinned hat.
