This conquest is relatively easy but requires a lot of spam. My technology is really high so I will be balancing it out with less units built, no generals, and no tactics used. Technology isn't as important because strength in numbers but the movement speed upgrades will help a lot. Canada is in a pretty ideal position as they are surrounded by strong allies, and only fighting on one front.
Start by retreating your army behind the cities so the enemy generals and units will go for your allies. If it doesn't happen, restart.
Bribe Britain once on turn 2 and start preparing light artillery and rush towards Boston and New York. As for Chicago, if the initial wave of enemies left, it should be pretty easy to take out if you build some artillery. Start by building a factory in Detroit and move around the Fort to reduce damage taken. The enemy artillery general may be a nuisance but hopefully his HP was lowered after fighting with the Confederates so he should be pretty easy to take out. The Iroquois will help distract some American units and should be able to hold them off. Take Chicago and start producing more light artillery to be sent to Mexico.
*(Optional step: (The Western Coast is not as important but if you want to open a second front, you should spam militia in Vancouver and send it down the the lvl 2 city. Eventually it will fall but the US does get scripted reinforcements in those cities so beware. After taking that city, upgrade it to lvl 3 and build a factory to produce light artillery. By following this step, this may cause South America to fall under French rule which will be explained later)
When your allies join, use them as meat shields to lower the HP of the cities and (hopefully) steal them. The city you WILL be wanting is Washington and New York as it gives you a pretty big increase in economy and allow you to start spamming Light Artillery. Your allies should also be able to clear the last of the US units in the north so you don't have to worry about that.
Start moving your units from the East Coast to the West. This will take a LONG time so you're probably better off building a new army in Chicago and pushing south. (I would highly recommend donating to your South American allies so they can deal with the French. This may not work for some people if your tech is lower as you may need to build more units meaning you wont have as much to donate.
*If you followed the optional step, your two armies should meet up relatively close by. At this stage of the conquest, you've basically already won but the fight in South America may cause the conquest to be elongated.
Send your army down to Mexico. They should be really easy to take out as they don't seem to build much units after their starting ones die. When you take Mexico, you should have the option to immediately accept their surrender. I did it because my allies in South America were doing really well but it isn't necessary.
Here was what happened in my conquest but that was because I could donate to South America.
Thanks to the combined crown forces in South America, I had the option to immediately accept France's surrender without having to deal with that near impenetrable island. If you weren't as fortunate, start building a navy to weaken the French units and allow your units to land.
There we go! Conquest is pretty straightforward as you're only going in one direction. Thank you for reading and hope this helps!
