I have a lot of trouble beating conquests. Should I build up armies or just throw whatever units I have with generals on them into the fight? I find it challenging trying to keep my generals around the whole conquest because I have to continuously reinforce them in cities. Any strategic help would be appreciated.

Ai is really agressive, I find sometimes Ai leaves cities badly defended. With your generals you can take faster than Ai. I often have 2 generals die before getting into an easier state. Some conquests are harder. Your generals can have a big impact. Punic Wars I recommend Macedonia. Take Dyrrhacium, then attack Aetolian league, defend Corinth from Cyrene, and attack Rome with Odrysians and Carthraginians. |

In punic wars yes, it will greatly increase the speed of the conquest. Beyond the punic wars conquest, I would only use the heavy units, only sometimes the bowman. |

For my generals I use heavy units but I am heavily (hehe) reliant on light infantry. |

If you cant beat conquests, analyze their movements by their fight with your allies. It doesnt change tho, so plan to bypass them to win conquests. I also suggest you spam heavy inf/cav/arch or special units. It will work |

I often go with light units as they are easy to reinforce Heavy archers are used as they are not counterattacked. Archers must have a range as artillery in other games as archers often engage in distance. Is there any medikits or tents so troops can be reinforce on the field.

There’s no healing equipment in gcr, in case you are asking. |

In ECR archers don’t get retaliated but need to get adjacent to the target. The only way to „heal“ is to replenish legions in a military camp of a city. Heavy units and elite archers need a lvl 3 camp, which can only be built in lvl 5 cities. And not all cities can be upgraded to lvl 5. |

 Just to add on, if you ever find yourself besieged by enemy swarms, try to maximise the output of troops. For camps, spam the best cav and inf units. For city centres, if you can hold it using light inf, then spam light inf for their better atk percentage against most enemies. If you have allies behind your frontlines that can assist you as well as a strong economy, fund your allies. Build facilities with the intent of minimising the enemy's battle capability. Minimise the exposure of your city centres to open tiles and try to confine the enemy to the sea. If you are a superpower in that era, use your surplus funds to pay permanent allies to join the battle when the situation is most favourable. Otherwise, try to open up a new front by hitting the enemy's rear. __________________________________________________________ If you're engaged in a theatre in which a victory is guaranteed and your allies are capable of winning there, keep your involvement to a minimum. An example is if you're like me, Cappadocia in Rome and Han era. When Parthia is cornered and the main battlefields are in Greece and the Slavic territories, I funded my allies to take over. The 3 Caucasian states and the Roman forces converged on the last cities and I focused on reclaiming the eastern most Nabataean city which Parthia had conquered. This was so since the city is out of the way. When I was done, I disbanded my legions there to focus on Greece and the Slavic territories. |
