![]()  I doubt that this is normal AI behavior, is this a bug or something ? Cuz i was doing all good (as italy) and suddenly this build up of coalition and british forces in the center of the map started, i tried resisting it with no success, i kept retreating till i got beaten, i managed to escape with one unit to spain cuz i wanna spectate how this evolves Oh man, that sucks. One thing I notice is that armies (coalition or France-aligned) mass troops up at a certain point in the game: Rhine and Prussia are the worst when it comes to that |

However, many of the original players may have gotten used to seeing a similar sized horde when farming medals in Conquest. Avoid playing the French client states in 1806 and 1809 unless you are decisively dealing blows to Russia or any major German state. These states usually carry the brunt of the Coalition counter offensive on the continent and any French client state that cannot deal with these threats outright will be annihilated. |

I play as them on occasion but actually use my comms (Ney, Sophia, etc) |

I did have something like that happen, in 1806 as France. What I did was make a bunch of machine guns and added some tavern generals to a few of them. Then I just mowed down those weak units. It wasnβt a fast conquest but it was satisfying.

Different countries have different protocols for different campaigns which evolve with the game. Most apparent is when generals leave their starting cities but also for spamming units vs. forts.
I found in the 1806,09,15 campaigns the AI is far more likely to spam units, it can be devasting for them when Lan comes through on a double armored car.

Spain, Prussia, France etc. all have barely enough to feed their army. Forts don't eat.r And yes, this is so right! 1806 with an Armored Car, the vast amount of troops, vanishes like the morning fog down the sunrise. Most of them just need one hit. Especially in 1806 where the strong industry gives the AI the chance to build so many troops. Very different to 1809, where the map looks so empty. |

Somewhat unrelated, but the enemy AI seems like itβs set to higher aggressiveness than your allies. This could be why your team is usually overrun no matter which side you play as.
It also suggests that an aggressive strategy will almost always beat a defensive one

Maybe you're right ks, but what about Portugal? Though I agree the Spain is weak then, but still, defensive play may workout, but we may not win the conquest |

Though I agree the Spain is weak then, but still, defensive play may workout, but we may not win the conquest Be defensive when the AI is actively trying to overrun you, but never stop looking for opportunities to invade Spain and launch an invasion to do so. Portugal in 1798 is the most aggressive version in all the European Conquests. If you are to play as them in 1806, avoid repeating their passiveness. Anyways, 1806 is *almost* a guaranteed victory for the Coalition given that the Russians and Prussians spam troops in Germany which almost always overruns the French and her clients. |

This is because, only 1798's Portugal dares to launch a massive assault on the French and her client states. The 1804 and 1806 Portugal hardly move. However, like most Coalition attacks on Spain, the Coalition troops normally fail. |

I know this is/was? common sence that blue-1806 is a no go. My first 1806 conquest ever was ottoman - edge and blue - it became my first non-hre 850 years. Playing defense won't work for blue. Once the coalition countries developed full their industries the big spam begins. 4 generals (step by step) and rush forward. This is a much more economy-war than 1798 but with armored cars controllable. I leave the enemies a flanked stable until his end. I can taxate his ressoures and reduce fort spam - a Light cavalry is better to whipe out. I believe: A country that still has resources is hard to defeat - they have to be bankrupt. The biggest problem for blue is Spain. Spain: also blue! but the AI of Spain is horrendous. The only thing they can: Occupying all possible hexes of your next movement. No further comment |
