After experimenting with Poland for a couple tries, I've come up with a strategy for advanced players to finish this conquest under 30 turns.  My best run so far, record-breaking 26 turns  Didn't take a lot of screenshots that time though. Here are the screenshots of my strategy, taken from my most recent attempt.   Turn 1: I declared war on Prussia, Portugal, and Sardinia, I put Massena and one shot the unnamed city above Danzig (only Massena will work because of assault and tunnel). Take the city with Dabrowski. I put Napoleon on the light artillery and blast the unnamed city below Danzig. At last, I spawned Murat on a lancer. If you aren't able to take the northern city in 1 turn, I suggest placing Dabrowski and your grenadier next to the city, spawn a cavalry, upgrade your farm, and declare war on turn 2 where you will try to capture 2 cities at once.  Turn 2: I killed Yorck and took Danzig. Prussia's unit spawns are super random, so luck is actually a big factor in this conquest. 
  Turn 5 I destroyed Prussia, now I sent my 3 cavalry generals towards Britain, and everyone else to weaken the HRE.  Something noteworthy is how Britain takes Sevilla most of the time.  The scary trio embarks  France isn't doing that well, they even lost Sardinia to Britain at one point 
Landing in Britain could be very risky sometimes, since the British usually send a fleet to Netherlands at that time, so I put healing items on those 3 generals and managed to keep them all alive, Davout died a few times in previous tries. 
how???  I paid the Ottomans in and declared war on Russia on turn 14, taking two unnamed cities that turn. I tried to focus on taking St. Petersburg early, since Denmark failed to break through in my first few tries. I also sent a couple grenadiers deep in Russian territory to try and sneak some cities 
 
Of course they spawn a general in their last city, I shouldn't have sent all my generals south after I took St. Petersburg, dumb mistake 
An even dumber mistake, I skipped turns and lost Moscow. 
That delayed me quite a bit. In conclusion, the outcome of this conquest greatly depends on your allies and taking Prussia and London as early as possible. This try, I wasn't lucky with my allies, since France was struggling against the HRE at first, and most of their army late game was down in Naples. Spain was having a hard time, as well as the Ottomans, since they wasted a few turns killing the Russian navy general who occupied their port. I believe 26 turns could be a number to improve on definitely. |

Also, good job dsongop for beating Stoic's record, that may be the push he needs to improve his other records  |

With all I'm seeing, 1798 is pretty much doable under 30 rounds. Because I like messing with diplomacy in 1806, the odds look good . My limit is my few items, and probably my last few upgrades in tech. My favorite thing so far while I get beat up maybe is just looking at what my crazy Allies might be doing if I fund them too soon. Lol

dsongop this reminds me of my Denmark 1798 run for some reason. Try beating my record so when you beat it people will have no clue how i got my World's fastest conqueror title  My first try going for the record as a 2 star in 1798. I managed to keep Portugal alive, but i devoted too much my army towards Spain and France, so the Ottomans were able to survive longer. In addition, Warsaw and Denmark stayed alive for quite long, so that distracted a lot of Russian generals. Italy was taken out in turn 11, which was a big surprise. Here are some more screenshots.      I still feel like the coalition has an advantage in every conquest if you play as them. However, I'm probably gonna try Denmark next, Deleted, I saw your thread on that, and I must say it's pretty impressive. Not sure if I can beat that without massive amounts of luck. |

dsongop it's not really that impressive lol. It took me 3 tries (complete) and 5 restarts to get that, and even the one i posted could be improved since i had some misclicks here and there. Keep beating the other records, since i actually lost motivation after getting the title (my motivation for beating the records is to get the title;study and work doesn't help, along with the fact the new came is near ). Your records are honestly more impressive, since you had to actually change the way you see the conquest to beat those records . Just wait for probably a week, then the title will come.

So far my only attempt, I was lucky that Poland survived, and Prussia fell at turn 11, However, Naples took 25 turns to beat, so that took the attention of all the Italian army. I barely managed to capture Britain on turn 28, and Russia died the same turn as well. On your attempt, you captured 10 more cities than me, so congratulations on that, your score remains superior to mine. The only way this may improve is if Spain actually helps taking out Britain, and the Ottomans step up against the Russians. I'll be on a 16-hr flight tomorrow, so I'll probably try again on the plane.

Go for it man. Just keep trying until you get less than 28 turns. Also, Poland really needs to survive to save time. Also, yeah, if Spain helps taking out Britain, then it may make it shorter, if you can capture Russia at that time too. Problem really is the economy. |

I knew this day will come And believe me, guys, I'm very proud that my Netherlands record was unbeaten for such a long time. I'm glad that new players are really interested in beating our records. It is great to see many skillful players around. I can only hope that the Old guard can give you some fight in the future ET projects |

It is great to see many skillful players around. I can only hope that the Old guard can give you some fight in the future ET projects Just needs a spark to start it really. Some may be interested but don't think they can do it, while some can do it but aren't willing to go through hours trying to beat the records. Also, the new game is nearing its release date, that's where the real competition is at . I mean, if it weren't for your along with Andrei's impressive records, i may have just completed the Crimean war and just stopped there without batting an eye on the conquest records. Also, the most important thing is that the title looks hella sexy,i mean come on, who doesn't want to have that great title. |

I mean I am trying to break 1815 or 1812 record since the fight for 1798 is so intense but I always miss it by a few turns. But I will nevered give up and never surrender familiar with this verse:)

I got really unlucky there, but still managed to beat stoic's record. 41 turns is doable, maybe even less than 40, but i doubt less than 40 turns for Morocco is easily done, since it's hard to balance resources with donations and your own units. |
