No its just difficult as you run out of money and you can’t bribe the neutral countries in early. Nah, you don't have to bribe. Just focus your resources on training units and letting Illyria and Mauretania join your fight. Then you just separate your gens and let them wreck havoc. Did it with 2 gens in 36 turns. Although the micromanagement may be the problem why it's considered difficult. I like the caesarion gallic countries, as you can just knock out briton than dip and do nothing

Friedrich “Fried Rice” Paulus, treveri is actually one. I'll make a guide about it soon. If you look at the Conquest records, it's the country I used to get the lowest turn count for a 1 star nation. Also Seger, treveri would be a green Just played as them. Amazing country. Pontus kingdom is a bit overrated tbh.

I added August time, say if colors are incorrect because I have not played all conquests I think all 3-stars should be very easy, and Nabatean should be medium or hard. I’d also put Noricum as very easy

But lepidus is easier then Octavian, I made them different colors to show the difference. and I am not going to make antony hard because from what I hear now it is mostly a lot of micro managing and that is difficult for the player but in principle it is not a difficult country.

Round 31 and not even close to being done. Since everybody struggles with Antony, I’m probably gonna make a guide in the future. By 31 turns you should be done

Does anyone have tips or a guide for Nasamones in Caesar time? Done all the other countries but struggling with Nasamones as so isolated and taking out Egypt is tough.

Does anyone have tips or a guide for Nasamones in Caesar time? Done all the other countries but struggling with Nasamones as so isolated and taking out Egypt is tough. Send a pair of Your strongest gens (preferably with commanders skills) directly to Carthage. Taking Carthage early on makes conquest extremely easy. Rest gens should wipe out Egypt. Just avoid fighting units on the way - concentrate all Your efforts on the cities. Let them besiege Your cities and refresh infantry when necessary. Don't stop after conquering first even to protect it. Again hire infantry and continue assault.

Does anyone have tips or a guide for Nasamones in Caesar time? Done all the other countries but struggling with Nasamones as so isolated and taking out Egypt is tough. I did this once and quite a while ago so I do not remember the details but I will narrate as below, - Send diplomat to some of these allies; Suebi, Arverni, or Dacia. - Quickly take out Cyrene. - If you are not confident that you can capture Cyrene fast enough then send diplomat to Egypt as well. - Take out Egypt - In the west, make a defensive stand at Arae Philaenorum. If you have problem with defending, build a military camp and hire some slingers. They are effective against boats. - Then turn your focus on taking Asia Minor and rescue the Seleucid and Pontus (if they're still there). Basically, do like what Egyptian AI would normally do. - Then take Greece. -If you are at this point you should be fine now. The rest is up to you. Possible attacking routes are Greece -> Brundisium -> Rome and Arae Phil -> Lepcis -> Capsa -> Carthage More tips: - Speed is crucial to your success, especially up until taking Egypt. So it is better in my opinion to use general with high mobility (Pompey, Antony, Commander, etc) - Nasamones starts with a set of decent troops with 'crazy' billigerence level. This is ideal to do diplomatic since it's cheap and you do not need money to hire troop. So hasten your allies and delay your foes to your heart content. Your economy will improve significantly once you capture Cyrene (more population cap) and some of your troops die (less population). - If your allies are collapsing (esp. small gallic tribes) try to spot the cluster of your enemy troops and position yourself in a way that they are attacking you from sea and you are defending on land. Adriatic sea is an ideal example. Spam slingers for the job. - Do you waste your money on Pirates or Skythia. You better spend your money expanding or getting Mauritania or Illyria to join your side. If you are getting Illyria, make sure that it does not join you when a big mass of your enemy is around, otherwise, it will be taken out in no time.

I'd suggest Atropatene as normal in Rome and Han Conquest... Just deploy a strong infantry general (preferably Pompey) in the available Elite Guard and together with Segestes (the free general available) and the free light cavalry, begin the invasion of Parthia... Capture Ecbatana first then swing to the lvl 5 city right next to it (Rhaga)... There might be some chance that Ecbatana might be recaptured so prepare a defense in Rhaga but just ignore (for this time, but prepare to capture Susa with ordinary Legions) that, meanwhile capture Ctisephon (with your generals) near Babylon (just let that city, plague it or whatever just don't assault it head on, Pacorus is guarding it) then face Ecbatana and Harta (this is to build your economy and help Roman and Nabataean Allies)...
Chances are by the time you were trying to capture Rhaga, the Han blitz might have already reach your northern city, so just put some Elite Guard and Marksman (?) with strong Infantry and Archer generals in that city and prepare to withstand the siege (Armenia most probably is defeated this round), and launch a counterattack (if you judge ordinary units can now defend your base) in either the nearest Armenian city or nearest Han city... (optional) I then deploy Antony in Heavy Cavalry to support the Archer and Infantry Generals (Group 1) in capturing Han bases (might be a mistake, I think I should have him join Pompey - after building up his strength, in heading to Dacia and defeating them early, since speed is now very critical in this part of Conquest)... So that was mostly it, once you captured Han bases, just head to West Europe to defeat the German and Gallic tribes (this is Group 1) and Group 2 (Pompey's) should by this time be heading to Italian Peninsula, since the Han and other forces most likely captured all of it)...
Bribing, support and protocols... I bribed Albania to slow down some Han forces though they are eventually captured... And my main support is to Rome to put up a strong resistance against Han and Gallic and German tribes (just very frustrating though, as they are not even trying to recapture their former cities - which didn't have a defense by their turn and they're not even trying to build many Legions to contribute to defense, but in the end they prevailed, lol), also Cappadocia became one of my main protégé since they show themselves strong and conquered Han cities without my help, and Bosporan Kingdom (early, around round 20ish since the Protocol sending countries declared war (can't send them requirements as I needed them more to crush and save Italian Peninsula)... When I have around 2000 income I began to bribe the tribe (can't remember their name) in what is now Denmark and they did a great job diverting enemies and being a strong support... Also, beginning in the early turns try to send to Rome money so they can build up their strength in the East and Italy (would help later) but it's OK if you skip once or twice, but try to make up for it...
I did it in 62 turns (forgot to accept the Pirate protocol and they declared war as the last enemy city is going to fall), should've been only 58 turns) and Rate of III (didn't know if it helped but I disbanded my legions), so that's it... I think it wouldve been shorter if I arrived in Dacia early (hence the importance of speed and also the free general available is painfully too slow) and didn't make a lot of mistakes...
