Hello, this is a continuation of my Dummies guide series, this time it's Sweden, a relatively easy country good for beginners. Some disclaimers: I did use Washington on this run but he is not needed, you can still get a good grade and beat the conquest without him. Also, there will not be pictures because the pictures I took are "too big" to upload, I will try to see if I can fix this and if anyone has a solution reply to this with one. With that out of the way, let's get to the real reason your here:
Operation Kill the imaginary country;
~You need to build up your navy and infantry in preparations to attack Denmark swiftly.
~After building up your army you should take the factories and stables in Norway while sending your ships to get ready to bombard Copenhagen.
~When the war starts, kill the Danish on your border and take Norway, after that move south and take Copenhagen. You should finish this by round 10-15.
Operation Schlieffen plan;
~Take your forces you have moved south and attack Amsterdam, keep your main generals (if any) in Norway healing on a temple.
~Move your forces down to aid the Austrians and British at Paris, after taking Paris move south to Spain.
Operation Noone expected this;
~Move to Madrid and take it quickly before anyone else can as it'll be useful (If someone takes it, steal it from them)
~After taking Madrid, finish off the Spanish and French in Morocco, during this you will need to start moving infantry into the Ottomans to finish them off.
Disclaimer: Do not be alarmed at the Egyptians taking southern Italy, the Italians will be fine.
Operation Endgame (See what I did there? Avengers reference? Noone?);
~Use your infantry in the Balkans to take Constantinople and Greece, after this move increasingly east with your forces from Morocco.
~The Russians and Austrians should be helping you kill off the rest of the Ottomans, so do not worry.
~Last but not least, take the final city and earn yourself a nice juicy A grade.
So everyone, that's my guide I hope you all enjoy it and find some use in it. Remember, do take these guides with a grain of salt because I have experienced different outcomes as Sweden. So don't be discouraged if you don't get it on your first try. These are guides for dummies after all.

I tried this but everything was good for 20 turns, then Austria died, then prussia dies, Warsaw still alive, Russia on back foot, and Spanish taking some of Irish territory. Then a massive spam wave came at me and I lost all my mainland european territory. Help?

Then a massive spam wave came at me and I lost all my mainland european territory. Help? Is your tech levels minimally at early British Empire levels? I estimate that minimally, this level of technology is needed for your regular troops to be strong enough to withstand the enemy. By the time you beat Denmark-Norway in its Norwegian lands, you should have some troops in mainland Europe. Aim for the cities leading up to the Rhine, especially those which have been badly damaged. Use Blast and Force March, if possible, to recapture lost cities. A speedy recovery of all lost territories is needed to trap Warsaw and the remnants of the Imperial Eagle troops between yourself and Russia. By the time Austria dies, you must recover at least half of Prussia or all of Prussia by then. Otherwise, you'll lack the resources to win. |

I don’t think you should try any Conquest aside from Netherlands 1798 until your tech is maxed-out. |

I think Russian tech is enough for this since it's when i completed Sweden 1806. |

I only used washington who only played a part in the initial attack of denmark, which should be able to be done without him. The rest of the game was done with him healing in denmark. No situations based on luck that I could recall though. |

I got on another run, for some reason now my allies are doing better, although morocco is losing naples is attacking italy, austria is doing fine, only problem is every turn France spews out another general EVERY TURN! edit: I beat it with A rank, my allies were a great help in taking out the ottomans, but jeez, Naples! They took out italy, the costal parts of spain, the Mediterranean islands, morroco, egypt, helped finish off france, and the ottomans. They were invaded however but survived to do these crazy feats, however this likely won't happen to you, all my allies were doing well. |

i also see people underusing diplomacy which really irritates me as it's the best part of ew6.
For example, Sweden 1806:
general rule: for any "paired" conflicts not involving you (sweden vs denmark, spain vs morocco, italy vs sicily, etc) consider declaring war on the enemy 1-2 turns before your respective ally joins in: the enemy will move its forces away a bit giving your ally an easier time but quick enough so those enemies wont contribute much to other theatres.
Denmark: after setting up your units declare war ASAP. you dont want to face those damn spams. enemy units will come suicide at you and sometimes i sniped Copenhagen very early with 1 ship plus 1 grenadier. after finishing consider sending a few units to greenland. i don't because it will take longer to take the Middle East than for AI Great Britain to take Greenland.
Spain: declare on T1. as said before, this will distract some spanish units and send them north, giving morocco an easier time
Warsaw: declare on T3. Russian artilleries will be passing by at that time and it wil get ruthlessly crushed. it might cost Berlin but AI can take it back easier than dealing with a 2-front war.
Austria: i bribe them once so they can come in and help dealing with ottomans. this means bribing away its enemies Rhine and Saxony
Egypt: they are a secret powerhouse. i bribe them once to give Sicily more breathing room and for the Balkans to be secured.

Declaring on italy turn 2 and rhine is not a bad idea, although it gives Prussia a harder times, austria does better and because you are sweden, you can help deal with the Rhine |

This would be a waste Imo. As you need that gold to build your own force ,giving away makes little sense, to me besides,when Russia joins 1806 Sweds is easy . |

I do a lot of donating when I reach close or at my troop limit, there seems to be a weird cap at 150, then and hard cap at 164(?) When you do not have good gens, it is sometimes better to let your allies handle more things than you. |
