Remember how xexeres (sorry if I wrote it wrong) made a guide how to win Bulgaria in 2 turns? Yeah, it was kind of a conquest. But others can be done insanely fast (with E rank) thanks to some diplomacy tricks like USA (about 6 turns I got, but I believe with somewhat better generals and managing 5 is possible).
So until they fix it (and we don't know for sure if they do) I'm proposing a way to sort the conquests and speedruns:
-Official records - records achieved in conquests, while ALL countries (excluding neutrals) have joined the war. They will never give an E rank.
-Unofficial records - records achieved BEFORE all countries have joined the war, ranked with E.
This way we can sort the conquests and still have the records list. Tell me what do you think about this system.

Tell me what do you think about this system. I'm not sure. My EW6:1804 records in 1798 was also about winning before the ottomans and doing some diplomacy cheese. If those records aren't valid, then neither are mine. Anyway, what I propose is records for ALL countries. That might make things a bit more interesting as usually only one country becomes really viable later on the more optimized our runs become. I was playing a lot of Morocco in 1806 in EW6:1806 because it was just really fun and interesting to optimize. It was just not worth much to do that because it could never beat Warsaw in a speedrun. |

Just in ew6 there wasn't such problem, as starting countries were away from each other (it was possible in 1798 due to very small map). But your idea is also interesting, however I don't know if that's not gonna make the "World Fastest Conqueror" less prestigeus. Anyway, there are gonna be only some players who'd own many records in that case. But maybe that's a better solution |

In this regulation I was typing on my phone, xerexes  I guess it'd be unofficial, unless you'll decide otherwise |

Sufficient amounts of screenshots/video evidence to show that thereโs a coherent strategy. |

That's why I'm not certain because my try was a strategy to take bucharest by cav, and rest was a pure luck xD I guess it'd not count then

It is too early for any records, to say the truth. Usually we start to compete when the whole content of the game is released. For example, EW6 1806 was quite a different game before patch was released. And the easiest conquest was Sardinia and not Netherlands.

Bunker City at level five, bunker general and only 3 spots near it, 2 naval. It was waaay harder than Denmark here. It's actually a bit easy, as they cannot put so much spam on the island. I mean, Britain is actually harder to get in 1914, as you must have some navy to land on it. So you're either germany or you've conquered Netherlands. I wasn't so lucky yet, that my allies got Britain instead |

For example, EW6 1806 was quite a different game before patch was released. And the easiest conquest was Sardinia and not Netherlands. Yeah, the game is still broke or not yet fully developed. So youโre fast conquest can be happened because of some bug or yet still the game is not yet developed. |

Tell me what do you think about this system. maybe the speedrun records will divide into two parts: 9-10 generals (for those who had petain (?)) 8 or less generals (for those who cannot afford an iap general, and later the players using the game for free. |
