I am new. I still struggle with Punic Wars because the Romans too aggressive. I tried Macedonia and Illyria but Romans are too hard to knock out. Is it worth to invest in Neutral countries. I see they ask my resources to not fight me but even I keep investing they just ask over and over. It is a reason for my military incompetence. Should I kick those money minded bastards or just give what they ask? I think the former is better.

Should I kick those money minded bastards or just give what they ask? I think the former is better. There is a tactic: Dont give them money if they asked again the next turn. Example, they ask you in turn 5, then they asked you again in turn 6, in that turn (6) dont give them money. They still join in your team even you do it. Just make sure you have spare money so even they ask you money you still have something left. |

Then, play a 3* power like Rome or Carthage as these states have the strongest economic and military strength. For the Scordisci, they practically try to extort you and bleed you dry. So ignore their demands and prepare for war against them. If you can knock out Ilyria fast enough and help the Aetolian League to defeat Macedonia, the Ordrysians and Scordisci can be contained and eventually defeated. |

Thank you for your advice. Deleted had a made a guide on F2P players. I still need some more medals for Drussus ( 20-30 ). Spartacus 2nd mission ( as rebels ) is hard. I still suck on the third campaign where there is to save Pompey from enemy encirclement( but it seems Pompey rushed into enemy territory ) because my Logistics often gets hard as It is hard to Blitzkrieg as in EW 6. Is it okay to play without Drussus. Does it have to be finished in a turn limit as in Ew series to get S Rank( Is there any reward for S Rank?). Commander is Infantry oriented.

Is it okay to play without Drusus? Does it have to be finished in a turn limit as in Ew series to get S Rank? Is there any reward for S Rank? Commander is Infantry oriented. It is okay to skip Drusus, but he is a highly recommended gen because of his good Talent, 2 somewhat useful skills and 1 very good skill. All of this for a moderate price of 550 medals, IIRC. If you want and can do so, you may choose to skip Drusus for one of the strongest gens like Mithridates or Arminius/Huo since you have an Inf Commander. An alternative is the cheaper Pacorus who is similar to Drusus, but exists as a cav gen. I believe that Turn limits may still influence Conquest clear rating. However, the focus is on number of units fielded and number of gens used, IIRC, if you win a relatively fast conquest. There are the 1st clear rewards for clearing an era as a specific nation for the first time. There are also achievements for getting a Rate of III in Conquest for the 1st time for each era which is the equivalent of an S rank, IIRC. |

I've found all the punic wars conquests really easy, but all the caesar/augustus time ones really hard. I'm yet to complete an augustus time one. I think I tried catabri but it was pretty difficult if i remember, a lot harder than any punic wars one at least.

Anything changed opinion wise since this was last updated, in january? I'm looking to do the quickest/easiest caesar/augustus time conquests. Not really. Since EW6:1914's launch, GC:R has received little attention. If you're looking for an easy 3* power Conquest, I recommend Dacia for Caesar's Time and Rome - Lepidus for Augustus' Time. For 2*, Egypt for Caesar's Time and Armenia for Augustus' Time. For 1*, Pontus during Caesar's Time and Sugambri during Augustus' Time. These are the ones which I completed. I believe I chose them based on how doable they theoretically were, how favourable their circumstances were and potential when led by the player.
Experiencing such a difficulty leap from Punic Wars to any other era is actually normal. The Punic Wars had fewer variables to consider, fewer states available and far less troops to account for (both allied and enemy). For other eras, the maps are far larger, enemies more numerous and/or stronger, the number of battlefields is greater and amount of enemies facing you much more than before. Playing some of the easiest recommended 3* states to get used to the era and map should help. With experience, you can better take on the various eras. |

I've recently been trying 3 stars on caesar time and they're all easy for me. You don't have a massive build up of troops on the other side of the map from not being big enough to get there quickly.

I finished Punic Wars, Ceasar time and Augustus time all tribes and have 5 more to finish Rome and Han also.
Let me give you some advice, maybe it helps.
1.) As Nobunaga said, try to play easy and normal tribes to get familiar with the map. Try to observe all nations on how their troops move, if they conquer or fail in defending their ground.
Focus on your allies that fail holding teritory. Try to aid them with money or if posible with military intervention. If you lack the posibility to aid them push hard to capture as many cities as you can.
2. Never focus on the big powers at start. By the time you will overcome the superpower, you will lose your allies and you will be all alone. Focus on smaller tribes near you and wipe them out.
3. When you deal with a tribe, focus on it's cities with generals. It's easier to defend afterwards.
4. When a concentrated army is advancing, stand your ground and defend; try to search a spot where they do not have troops. Go with generals and capture.
5. Bribe neutral countries to join you asap and try to keep rogue contries to stay out of war. ( do not overpay them, i usualy pay one turn and skip the next and so on )
Hope they are usefull.
Good luck General.

Not sure if I'll get a speedy response but i was wondering if anybody could help me out with two Punic War conquests. I've triumphed with every country except Allobroges and Massalia. I feel stupid because these nations are supposed to be just normal difficulty and I've beaten all three hard countries (Cyrene, Masaesyli, Cessetani) and yet they prove to be immensely frustrating. My strategy for both of them is essentially the same. Bribe my allies in Spain and Gaul to enter the war early then consolidate power in Spain and attempt to invade Carthage from Spain. However at like round 20 Rome starts to get overrun in Brundisium and Neapolis and by round 30 they are nearly annihilated despite me cutting spending to a minimum and donating muchos dinero to Rome every turn. Maybe I would be able to take on the horde if I had a better economy but I have only established a beachhead in Africa by the time the Romans are overrun.

thunderbird, my preference is to secure the Iberian Peninsula and the west Mediterranean first. Then, assist Rome. Only donate when you have excess. Your victory ultimately decides the outcome after all. Crush Carthage then Rome will have one front to focus on.

I finally just grinded out Massalia and triumphed. My strategy was to put Antony on the available Calvary and rush Numantia. I've noticed that if you take Ceasaragusta Hannibal and Hasdrubal abandon whatever they're doing to come wreck you so that's why I go for Numantia first. The second thing I did was I diverted all of my starting money as well as the revenue of my first five turns towards bribes as well as paying Scordisci every time. All the bribes evened the battle in the East as well as helping me in the West. Then I conquered Hispana while I financially kept the Aetolian League afloat. All that was left was to conquer Carthage. However I'm still finding Allobroges insufferably hard. Its much harder to bribe while also being farther from Hispana than Massalia is. Also the starting unit is an archer not Calvary so I can't really put Antony on it. Do you have any idea what I could do to win.

Nobunaga Oda , I finally beat Allobroges today and feel very accomplished to have the entirety of the Punic wars conquests complete. Now on to the first triumvirate, I think I'll try Pompey the Great out first to see how the map works and also because he's probably my second favorite Roman of all time, no one beats Sulla.
