I think you guys worry too much about bribing,when its really is not necessary with the Netherlands. This could be the reason it may seem to be getting more difficult. And I don't use auto since the AI tends to get lost more than half the time,you can consistently get an "S"rank most the time by playing it out yourself. It IS necessary when your tech and general cannot even defeat Britain and playing myself takes longer time than auto-skip where the ai will spam-suicide at Britain and allows the Spanish and Danes to take care of stuffs. My bribe order also ensures that the ai will only do what i want by killing everyone before Russia joins. Russia is too far away so my ai only spams at Britain |

What I do is weaken them with warships and cannons, while using cavalry to sweep the east,and support Denmark. |

My point regarding the first line is that, either the army i built get crushed in the water (because brits) or main Danish army arrived and i dont need my own. |

Gone Yep, the last mobility upgrade is the british tech you get after beating the russian campaign. I’d say that starting to play those other conquests after maxing out the mobility of your units is the best way to do it

Then you should wait till Spain takes Dublin to send in your transports,,the Danes will not help much,since they are preoccupied with Sweden then Russia. |

In my games the Danes sends in a huge army around the same time Spain arrives at Ireland/Wales, Sweden and Russia are already gone (Russia by other parties, usually France killed them). |

What do you mean by huge? In my experience it is only a few transports that are sent from Denmark and these are usually sunk before landfall,,the one or 2 that do land are quickly killed off. |

At least 4 2range ships ft. Falsen, 3-4 artilleries and 6-7 of the other two groups. If they do target Manchester then they will usually be able to take it (unfortunately they like to go for London) |

I assume the difference is that you play much faster than i do currently (i will eventually get there). You have the tech&generals to finish quickly without relying on allies too much. I don't (just started over a month ago). Note that what i talked about is a finish around 60-70 turns. |

 T17 here comes Falson with a couple riflemen and light cavalry and already this force is in trouble, and this is huge? Maybe it's the next wave. |

 Here we see Denmark doing exactly what I said,finishing Sweden and getting ready to land on Russian soil,while thier expedition to Britain never even got close. Falson decided to commit suicide.  |

as i said, you are too fast what i talked about is usually around turn 40 earliest I don't think it's matter about being fast, since I have not deployed all my generals yet,only Murat, Karl and Wellesley. By t40 I should have most them deployed, and crossing the English channel. |
