Britain 1812 or USA 1775. Those are the fastest I believe if played correctly. USA 1812 might also be one of the fastest.

US 1775 in 54 rounds and I got Kate. One thing I found (annoying) in either America conquest is, if you don't cover the taken territory with your color the AI will start building those pesky forts everywhere. Especially GB and Russia. I was just finishing up a game of 1812 as France,same thing started so I took a screenshot to show what I mean. I usually start covering as soon as I can,if I have injured troops/cav. I'll use them too. If you put a unit on the grid just about where the << arrows are you can cover 3 rows with each move.  See the fort? I wasn't paying attention so I had to make a few militia and send them scurrying all over plus send some seige arty. to take it out.  It didn't add any rounds this time since I was still working on GB in the northwest corner but,it has happened. |

Any tips on what AI usually takes each other out so I don't have to bother on some as much? Well USA 1775: Britain is going to blitz Providence as expected while Collingwood and Howe attack near the center. Managing your coastline can also be difficult. I reccomend moving Greene away from the coast immediately to help Hopkins. Otherwise he will be bombarded. The Netherlanden and French ships should help you out there. Washington should stay in a city most of the time as he isn't very gifted in combat. You can use him to deal with the Hessens. Use a cavalry general to help Hopkins and Greene deal with countries like Brunswick and Saxony. Have a cavalry/fast artillery general go through the Indian territory to Detroit and then to Fort York. And have a final general (cavalry, infantry, or artilllery) assist Jackson in defeating the British in the north. Russia will hold their ground against Spain and invade the Indians. They might kill Cornplanter for you if you're lucky. If not, the artillery guy will just head for Detroit. I wouldn't expect him to do much. Poland will probably be defeated. France will hold everybody off. |

Britain 1812 is pretty self explanatory. Have Drummond go through Russia, and everybody else through the US. I use a naval general here as keeping control of the enemy fleet is a priority. So use Duckworth and a naval general to prevent the Dutch generals from reaching land. It doesn't really matter if your Hessen friends survive, but it would help as they take Yorktown and attack Washington.
You should have 3 "lanes" of attack. Drummond coming down on the western edge of the map, an artillery general (Even Sophia would work here) coming down through the center where the two forts are, and the main force going through the east. Then of course the naval battles. Since Drummond has to fight France as well, I reccomend have a cavalry general accompany him.

I tried this campaign for an hour or two, haven't tried the other one yet. Two problems, I don't really intend to spend on microtransactions so I can't really get a naval general, and my troops got absolutely destroyed by that one Russian guard general. Oh, and I've seen nobility mentioned with generals, no clue where that is or what it does. |

I prefer Great Britain 1775. For some reason I cannot play well as America (a long stretch of land that's difficult to attack and defend effectively, multiple fronts to fight). Basically as GB all you need to do is split up your force into 2 parts, one big and one small. Send the small one to russian territory, the other takes american territory. Your naval force settles Treville and Verhuell if they flee to the corner (they have a tendency to do so)

I GOT KATE! Thanks guys, got her with 450 years on the GB 1812 scenario! Taking Fort Dearborn was a pain in the butt early on though.

Picton is an really good infantry general and if you need an navy general,do some campings and get Sydney,he is mid tirr

A choice: 1775 USA, steal all of the UK fields by using Dearborn, and then...(evil laugh)
