Encouraged by andrei's thought that the new ET game might not be as good as we are hoping for  , I decided to create this thread. Funny thing but I never had a chance to complete EW6 with a team that I personally evaluate as the strongest possible without IAPs generals: Karl-Massena-Barclay Murat-Dabrowsi Alexander-Mahmud Ney or Nelson. Regarding the last position - Ney is better in the most situations, but Nelson is a real trump for some missions and conquests (so I will decide it later). So my aim is to demonstrate how it is possible to beat the game (and probably some records as well) in, let's say, 3 months, explaining crucial moves and decisions. I have several devices, and EW6 is already installed on one of them, but my team there is somewhat eccentric, so I install EW6 on another phone today.  |

Okay, I haven't played a single mission. AI was capable enough to win some USA missions and discount missions (I never thought that AI can beat first 5 USA missions without interventions). And, voila, I have Ney my working horse and my single general without aura.   Now I think a couple of upgrades and an Ambulance could prepare him for my first auto-conquest. |

I think aura skills are so powerful and useful that Murat and Dabrowski are without any serious competition amongst cavalry generals. But why to choose Ney as their companion? We discussed it many times who is better Davout, Ney, Pagget etc. In my opinion, Ney wins this competition. Plain fighting is the second best skill in the game, and an increased chance for a critical strike is very effective for cavalry. It is possible to observe both Davout and Ney fighting together in two conquests 1812 and 1815. Almost 9 times out of 10 it is Ney whose performance is better. Only Lan can be a better option than Ney, but we need time to unlock and upgrade her. I don't have time for this. War and blood are not for royal ladies |

So, it is actually a matter of days to hire all 3 of them. |

Ok, my first Netherlands 1796 conquest  Strictly speaking I'm not switching to auto right away. There is a considerable chance that AI will loose Amsterdam to the British Expeditionary Force. To avoid an inevitable defeat in this case I usually use one little trick. I deploy my generals and wait for an opportunity to steal a couple of unimportant towns from France or HRE. Then I'm waiting for a couple of turns to restore cities' defense a bit, and only then I'm switching to auto play. |

why not just play the first ten turns and make sure your enemies are destroyed and turn auto on, with prussia I had some struggles but the netherlands works good.

Now, you have to defeat the British and help with Russia. Actually, it depends on the healing items we have. If we declare war on Sardinia, Naples, Portugal and Sweden right from the start - the chance is very high that they will be defeated soon after that. That is definitely the desisive shift of balance. So the only task Netherlands have is to survive. If our generals have good healing items and we are moving them away from the shore - they will be OK and even capture some cities in the Central Europe. I did it many times even with mediocre generals. The key is to have 2-3 cities before switching to auto play. |
