Just did 1865 Prussia. Not that tough. Though I suppose high tech helped a bit. You just have to beat Austria before Russia joins in. France can’t handle the heat from Bavaria + Britain + Spain + German Confederation when Austrias gone. And Russia isn’t that tough either.

I did it at the beginning with low tech and it was quite easy, recommended for sure. Just throw everything at the Austrians in the beginning, I didn’t even worry about France until the very end. This is probably the best one to do for 3 stars as a beginner. |

Is that me or conquests in this game are much easier than in EW6: 1804? Much easier and shorter, since there is always one continent to secure (America only in 1861, and Europe only in both 1865/1914)... It is interesting to notice that even in 1914, the level of enemy units and generals is still low. Just take a look at Ludendorff in 1914:  My "own" Ludendorff in the same conquest:  So far my favourite conquest is 1865 as Prussia. |

Yeah, hopefully the new conquest will be more difficult. I believe North America (Or parts of it) will be in it.

well at least we have the plotting(?) thing where the A.I moves it for us but yeah, forgot about the Atlantic ocean... Hopefully ET gives us some units on Europe to speed things up

We don't know the exact date but it is confirmed as ET generally has 4 conquests minimum and a new conquest was apparently found in the APK file

Bulgaria(Hard)- You are surrounded by enemies and your allies don't join in until much later. The Austrians and Italians will be charging right at you. Bribe in your Ottoman allies and hope that they can save you. The conquest gets really difficult when the Russians join in as your Romanian allies will most likely fall and the Ottomans are focusing on the Balkans leaving their flanks open. However, because you're distracting the Austrians, they've sent their main force towards you meaning your Bavarian and Prussian allies have an easy time attacking the flanks. Hold out and hope that your allies reach you before the enemy does. Actually Bulgaria is super easy, might be as easy as the Netherlands 1798. You just need to bribe the countries surrounding Austria in early and let your allies destroy Austria before Russia joins. What you actually have to do is only using your starting units to defend Sofia (put your best artillery general with ambulance on the horowitzer) What? I'm surrounded by enemies? When do they join? Very late! The only threat at first is Austria, and Montenegro and Greece is very weak. The Austrians would get destroyed by your allies while they try to attack you, and the Ottomans and Brits just absolutely annihilate the Greeks and Montenegrins once they join. This Bulgarian Conquest may seem hard at the first glance, but you will soon know that it is not as hard as it looks, you are surrounded by weak enemies and strong allies, and most importantly unlike EW6 1978 Netherlands there is no gigantic army of Brits coming at you. |

That’s what I thought, should be fairly straight forward with this one. Austria is just a big pile of shoot that crumbles super easy. |

However I think it is smarter to capture most of the Balkan and southern Austria yourself, if possible to increase your income and make the conquest quicker. Have to give the Auto idea a try though. |

I've tried to auto it. It is similar to 1798 Netherlands, but this time the Austrians and Italians hit hard on the first wave, but gradually gets pummelled by the Germans. I think we just need to make Austria die before Russia joins. (Like 1798 Netherlands.) When compared to 1798 Netherlands, 1865 Bulgaria is quite tough at first, but your allies are very strong and does not rely on donations. (Unlike Poland in 1798) Also France gets hammered when the UK joins and the north gets captured quickly. The Italians also get destroyed by Britain and the Turks once they join. |

I tried some Serbia 1914. It’s by far the hardest conquest so far. You can’t take the offensive. Austria-Hungary spawns like 2 generals and 6 units near you on turn 1 and ruins that plan. Stalling is going to get you killed eventually. Stepanovic can’t take that much heat. The best answer I’ve found yet is calling in Russia turn 1, bribing out Bulgaria as long as possible and eventually putting your toughest generals on militia and trying to keep them alive with every healing item on planet earth.
Edit: Ok, so even with near max tech and by using stuff like Hindenburg with ambulance and tent and Petain with tents I can’t beat Serbia 1914. It’s probably possible with a very specific strat, but stalling doesn’t work since even if Austria-Hungary gets distracted (and they rarely do) by Italy and Russia, it’s hard to take the heat from Bulgaria and the Ottomans.

I find the Papal states medium difficulty, because if you can hold off the Italian offensive, you should be able to be rescued by your allies and be able to steal some Italian cities. Did this conquest on first attempt.
