Hello! I am new here and I was just looking through the guides mostly, but I suddenly found a way to half-auto Sardinia in 1798 (works with 1806 as well, with a bit different tactics). So I decided to share it.
Things you need: 2 cav aura generals with equiped tent and ambulance each (preferably Blucher and Murat, but Murat and Dąbrowski work quite well too)
Note: I have both Blucher and Murat maxed
The idea there is as someone wrote "Yay, I have so much spam, that I can't even breathe in my tiny province!" And that's exactly what you want.
If everyone spams at you, they don't have enough money to maintain other fronts (needless to say, they lose them).
So let's start:
Turn 1: Delete port and your ship. Bribe Prussia. Declare war on Spain and Italy (both are gonna spam at you, and no one will push really hard in southern Austria).
Create a heavy cavalry unit and put Blucher in there.
Now do some moving with Blucher you have a tile of plains on your island, so it will give him an attack boost.
If city guard is close to dying (or dies) put Blucher in the city.
Turn 5: Buy another heavy cavalier, put Murat in there, and kill all the incoming spam using him and Blucher.
Keep one of them in the city, second one on plains. If the city one falls below 60% of hp, swap them, so he can regenerate.
Turn 6: Bribe Russia
Don't forget to kill spam!
After that donate to Sweden till Denmark is killed.
After that you should donate to Naples, to make a better ottoman rush.
Note: donating once in five turns works pretty well.
And after Paris is taken, you get very little spam, and it's just auto from there on.
I will add images later, when I'm home. In the meantime can anyone test this one? I've got Expedition to Egipt done, and I'm halfway through The Birth of Empire with three stars only in this campaign, so the conquest shouldn't be really hard to replicate.
It's most of the times slower than Netherlands
(My best time around 20 minutes), but it gives you crown badges, a bucketload of exp, and takes somewhat between 60-65 turns mostly

If the city one falls below 60% of hp, swap them, so he can regenerate. Don't forget to kill spam! After that you've got a choice: If portugal still holds off pretty good against Spain, donate them, so coalition won't have to conquer all of Spain. If portugal loses visibly against Spain, donate to Sweden till Denmark is killed. After that you should donate to Naples, to make a better ottoman rush. Note: donating once in five turns works pretty well. And after Paris is taken, you get very little spam, and it's just auto from there on. I will add images later, when I'm home.

Saying this,Sardinia is tough way to go.so please add screenshots on how this can be achieved 😅 |

Saying this,Sardinia is tough way to go.so please add screenshots on how this can be achieved 😅 I see this sounds impossible this way, and I will add screenshots once I'm home (once I have access to my pc), but responding to your comment: 0. I'm not certain if you're talking about 1806 or 1798, so I'll refer to it as of 1798 1. Not really. Remember, that when you declare war on turn 1 they haven't got enough resources to spam (except for french generic navy, which is annoying indeed). Beside, they have to move their army, so real siege starts about turn 4-5 when you have both auras on the battlefield. Also remember about the counterattack. When you're attacking units most of the time they have 1/2 hp (expcept for generals). 1b. -//- 2. In 1798, you've got Stables built and 380 gold at the beginning. It's just enough to buy 1 heavy cav, bribe Prussia and Russia once, and still get second cav on turn 4. 2b. I'm not certain. I chosed cavalry because they can strike twice or even thrice a turn. While most of enemies are at 1/2 hp, it's better deal than higher damage imo. But you can try artillery as well, especially in 1806 when you start with factory instead of stables. 3. See the point 2 for resources. When talking about maneuver, you have got 4 tiles: -city, which is the tile you must defend -plains, which is tile for the dmg boost -hills, the only tile they will try to land on (even italy!) -stables, which is useless after turn 4 So you just have to maneuver between the first two with your gens. This works because most of the attacks goes for the city. On that tile you loose health slowly, on plains you regenerate it. It works pretty good! 4. Because you're not creating any new units. You must create only two heavy cavaliers and that's it. Every resource after turn 4 can be donated to Portugal, Sweden or Naples. In 1806, it's a bit different, because you'll need palace and Sophia in there, because siege is more powerful and lasts longer. But after that again, all resources can be donated. I consider doing a complete video of 1 playthrough in 1798, so everything will be clear. But I need my Pc xD EDIT: nevermind, you have 350 resources at the beginning, it just moves buying second cav to the fifth turn. |

 I did it with 77 turns, because portugal died even though I donated them and army had to reconquer norway. Last nation to kill is Spain |

Good luck! If your allies manage to kill Italy and netherlands, you can finish in 60 turn
