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. Again, i already said we're playing a different game. i'm talking about no tech/gen/items which wouldn't enable the option of directly invading Britain. You have tech/gen/items so you can just cross there, land in Norfolk and take stuffs. If i do the same thing i'd get wrecked by the fort. |

But my cavalry stays on the mainland to harrass the prussians steal cities and cause general disruption.😁

We are in the same boat,I think,it's about the timing, Britain has huge reserves, if you go too soon,she will unleash hell upon you. Weaken London by bombardment,let France take it,if not you. Move up the eastern coast and do the same,landing whenever possible, soon Britain will lose,it is inevitable. |

Bombard with what? artillery you need a factory which occupies the same slot with port. and i only get 29 gold and 14 industry per turn so it takes forever to build an army with that (or upgrade city to do both at once). Ships are as expensive and need some techs to actually be relevant (and not get killed by transport spam which AI tends to do). Without tech or gens stealing cities is not reliable either as your allies move faster. |

Yeah, I’ve been also noticed that it’s becoming harder. On my first try it only took like 50 turns. Now it normally takes at least 70.
Not impossible at all, though. I have fortunately a very well-upgraded Murat plus the free generals, so it is guaranteed that I will still win.

On my phone, Lannes takes 5 turns to capture Sardinia. On my IPad, he normally takes just 3.

Warsaw does sometimes, but it’s usually by the point where my other allies are so strong (When only Russia and Great Britain are remaining) that it doesn’t warrant defeat. |

This is why you need to capture cities,I'm getting weary of this topic now and the debate. |

You are given lots of gold and lots of industrial in the beginning to bribe other countries. Anything you lend lease to your allies is negligible. If you stay inside of your city and simply defend the invading british/austrian/prussian forces, you will actually help your team a lot. Do you have a general with a healing item? |

Even with maxed out tech, and the best team imaginable, it is actually not easier to invade britian turn 1? Why? Because you can’t bribe efficiently once you take london. That means poland is screwed. Even if you take out britain by turn 30, it will still take your allies 20 more turns to capitulate russia, maybe even more without the help of poland. Plus it renders the spanish forces useless. |

I have fortunately a very well-upgraded Murat plus the free generals, so it is guaranteed that I will still win. Hmm. It takes me around 58-62, but I skip and don’t lend lease from turn 18 onto the end as that is faster real time wise. Position murat on the naval gun so the british still go after you. You will be able to wreck all of the generals they send at you. Otherwise, facing a full health Paget on a heavy cavarly is very frustrating on land. You should be able to wipe out hood, paget, cornwallis, and cotton, and if you are lucky, duckworf, codrington, wellesley, and picton. That will save enormous amounts of time by wrecking them. Other than that, declare war on portugal turn 1. This ensures that spain wipes em out very early and has time to build a huge army. Since most of the british reserves you have taken out, ireland is free for their taking. |

The quickest way in general to farm netherlands 1798 is to take any brain power out of the equation. It is ideal for you to find a strategy where at most, all you are doing is pushing the skip turn button on repeat.

He gets a heavy cavalry from the start.All he has do is be patient, wait for the opportunity to collect Cologne or Frankfort, if you use auto too soon ,it may never happen. There is no way to win Netherlands with just Amsterdam. |
