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 My Theory is that easytech gives "E"s for conquests under 20 turns/conquests without conquering every enemy to de-incentivise cheaters perhaps. |

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. 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). I was going for the 15 turn try to see if it's possible, but my time ran out. Nelson is just useful to take London ASAP. Also, forced march ftw. |

Nelson is just useful to take London ASAP. Also, forced march ftw. In chess they call it a "space left behind". Of course, Nelson is of immense help within this strategy, but deploying another cavalry/infantry general instead of Nelson might be not such a bad idea after all. I've found out that two Artillery generals are extremely efficient in Britain (even if we can capture London in 6 or 7 turns instead of 5). All targets are close and we don't have to loose precious time after the fall of London. The main question is to decide "who goes where" after that... |

I've been playing chess for a long time, and that's the first time i heard that term lol. But yeah, you're right. Nelson is good for capturing London, but since he's a naval unit you can choose to pick which side he'll siege, the left side or the right (Left side is better because Ireland) and he can't capture cities on his own, while although having 2 artillery gens aren't as fast as capturing London, they'll be able to capture cities much faster since they're land units. Everything has an advantage and a disadvantage, and most of the time we tend to overvalue the advantage while disregarding or ignoring the disadvantage altogether. |

I was actually trying this out a while ago, and yes, it works. And i'd say it's more straightforward since all you need to do is just to go straight towards spain, with some units sent to capture Denmark and Italy. |

How did you do France 1806 in 29 turns? What is the general strategy etc.? (sry I know this is a bit off topic) Also, do you think it would be possible to do Britain 1806 in 28 turns or less? |

Main problem i see with Britain 1806 is having a foothold in France. But the other areas are really easy ( capturing egypt, then the Ottomans, securing Denmark ) is easy. So if you can destroy the Spanish force, French force and Netherlands force at sea, then France would be open. So in theory it is possible, but the best i got using Britain is 33 turns. Definitely can be improved because that was after my 3rd try. |

It was quite a long time ago  , so I must admit that my memory on the subject is somewhat evasive now. And about Britain... I always thought that it has more potential than I can achieve with it. Her starting position is very impressive, to say the least. |

Problem with Britain is that if your invasion army gets intercepted by Verhuell and Falsen,most of it will be gone.Also,your main enemy is France,who has tons of Old Guards,which is ridiculously difficult to kill.But I agree,her position is extremely protective.She also has troops scattered around other fronts,which is nice.Their navy is also strong.

France doesn't have that much old guards in this conquest  . I agree on the first comment tho, it's imperative to keep your gens invading Britain safe. |
