silvercreek , I believe I won't break Deleted 's record since I barely play 2 stars in 1798. Actually I may be the one who would hold world's fastest conqueror for the shortest time. Just watch stoic complete France in 15 turns after I get the title lol. Actually, my 2 star record for 1798 can be improved, maybe 26 turns is possible if everything goes perfectly. Also, don't worry, stoic will just try it to see if it's actually possible, and if it is, you'll get ze title. Also, i don't have that much time to beat the other records atm, so you can try beating the other records from the other conquests. |

deletedIt looks like your title is already in jeopardy. I did warn you the dogs would be coming in but did not expect it so quick. And now it's France. That's the fun of it really, without competition there won't really be any incentive to keep improving  . Also, i'm pretty confident that it won't be broken for a while, unless they really want to break it, then they should go for it of course. |

For reference, dsongop, may we know the gens you deployed as well? I see Nelson, Lan, Murat, Barclay, Massena, Karl and Napoleon. If my list is correct, who are your remaining gens? |

Well, my friends, I can confirm that this strategy is perfectly playable. My congratulations, dsongop, bold ideas and a very creative approach!      My guess it is possible to complete it in 15 turns, but my days as an active EW6 player are over, so it is up to you, guys, to prove/disprove it  . And, yes, I did it only out of curiosity  so the current record (16 turns France 1796) belongs to dsongop alone... At least for now |

Appreciate you taking your time to try out my strategy stoic, I guess meanwhile I'm gonna figure out a good way to do Portugal/Poland 1798, as I believe if done correctly, it could be close to 25 turns. |

Most former players are just waiting for the new game, so i guess the newer players will be the one to do so. |

Question is, how hard it is to replicate. Since if it's legit and we dismiss it since it's hard to replicate, it would be unfair. I guess the only real way to see is to actually do it. Since the problem here would be Sweden and Naples. If we send no units to Sweden, they usually fall around turn 20 or even more if Denmark decides to not send units to capture the last city. Naples falls quickly, although at times they surprisingly survive, as seen in my speed run of Denmark 1798 where they survived until turn 28. Portugal falls around turn 11, so i guess if it's possible to beat the game without Russia even entering the war, then the speed run is dependent on how fast you can defeat Britain and Sweden, and hope that Naples loses before that happens, or at the time it happens. That is assuming you can knock Austria out quickly too, and since you don't really donate to Prussia, they enter pretty early in the game. I think the main question is whether it is possible to keep Russia out of the war without badly compromising all other fronts or not. If the answer is "yes" then sooner or later we can repeat (or beat) this result. I will try this... But I think... A. You will need some luck, and B. You will need good generals/good-max tech |

Anyways I am currently doing Prussia 1798 to see if I can break the record so this one will have to wait for a little bit. |

You will need good generals/good-max tech I was trying it, but my nelson was almost consistently off 20 damage to kill the defender of Britain, so i'll probably upgrade him. Also, luck is involved, since dsongop captured Britain turn 5 without London having defenders, and in all my 3 tries there were defenders, so either i reposition to bait them out, or luck. The thing i dislike at times at conquest is the erratic behavior of AI despite doing the same moves. |

The thing i dislike at times at conquest is the erratic behavior of AI despite doing the same moves. Well, I don't have Nelson and I captured London in 7 turns instead of 5... Thus a certain freedom of actions is definitely possible. I sent Davout, Dabrowski, Alexander, John and Soult to Britain, and my Infantry steamrolled Europe. Murat was a free artist whose main task was to reach Finland in time. France has enough resources (we have to bribe Russia only once to complete it in 16 or less turns), so we can build universities in great numbers (additional "Forced marches" never hurt) and donate our allies. I made one serious mistake - I completely ignored Ottomans. So I was forced to capture all Balkan cities without any help. Now I think we have to bribe Ottoman empire at least once (and probably twice). |

What does E stand for/mean in conquest rankings??? Is E the worst ranking you can get in conquest? I am pretty sure it stands for "Excellent" but I don't know |

. Also, i'm pretty confident that it won't be broken for a while, unless they really want to break it, then they should go for it of course.
.
so the current record (16 turns France 1796) belongs to
