Has anyone managed to these countries? I managed to do as Romania by knocking out Bulgaria early but the others seems impossible.
Especially Serbia , i only managed to survive 12 rounds and cant seem to knock out Bulgaria early for an advantage.

I’ve done Serbia 1914 by beating Bulgaria turn 2 (requires tons of luck) and holding my ground at Sofia. Apparently running away also works, though I’ve never managed to do it that way. It’s a really tough conquest because you have no money and the enemy just swarms you and your only cav is Stepanovic who can’t do it.

To take out Bulgaria you need to be very lucky, you can hit Sofia with your arty from the tile two tiles below your factory . You make one blast and you move Stepanovic to the forest tile next to the Bulgarian fort. Produce 1 light infantry. Now you need to be lucky, Bulgaria needs to leave the city empty and they need to place a mortar on their factory. You can attack their city with your arty and blasts, with Stepanovic and the air bombing you can take out the mortar. Then you can take Sofia with your light infantry |

I managed to take out Bulgaria thanks to your tactics , but problems sadly doesnt end here , this time ottomans and austrians come and kill me. Any tactics for defense? I barely managed to hold for 8 turns until Armored Car ottoman general ended my reign.

I barely managed to hold for 8 turns until Armored Car ottoman general ended my reign. Well my run wasn’t very pretty either. At some point I was just defending Sofia with an infantry general on militia at 30% or so HP and crossing my fingers. I don’t remember an Armored Car running in to ruin my day though. |

The armored car doesn’t always spawn, i think it gets triggered when the city defence of Istanbul gets below 70%. And after you have taken out Sofia just try to hold Sofia and wait till your allies join then you can attack |

I must change my way of thinking. I always try to Flank the enemy and go a pincer to encircle enemy generals. I once did a pincer movement in large scale at Vienna From Kiev, Berlin and Balkans to defeat Austria Hungary in Conquest 1914 Russia. Now I realised it is time wasting and not strategic because when I gather forces , enemy sends everything at me. Can anyone suggest any tactics and strategies to fight difficult enemies.

Either strike fast at their cities if you are a smaller power, of if you are larger destroy them in a war of attrition  Its a popular military strategy employed even by countries today |

In 1917 USA, I had to fight a large war. Ottomans, AutroHs, RSFSR and Bulgarians all in one front is hell. France was half smashed, UK was pushed from Western Front and Portugese were fighting Spanish. I had to make a line of troops supported by Brazilians, Portugese, French and Morocco. Libya had the edge over Egypt. I slowly steamrolled the Europe from Dijon to Moscow and Baghdad. It was Hell. |

Russia in 1798 for instance is pretty rough if you don't strike fast and hard. Anyway Naveen Hanza, don't bother thinking so much on that. Treat it as a game, not a real war. I don't really bother on building up a huge force in one place because that's wasting time. Just plan your movements, positioning and resources so that you can bring down as many cities and enemy units as possible (meaning get a lot of airstrikes/blasts and try to use Victory Rush as often as you can) |

^ why not if you have the adequate responses to BECOME the main power? Normally there can only be two scenarios, either you work with your allies and try to scrape by through stealing a few cities, or take the lead and carry your allies. If it is the latter, there will not be a need and a rush to scramble for cities unless you are attempting speed runs.

Thank you for your advice. I don't know why, after playing EW4, I was inspired a lot to read a lot of battles in different wars. Now, nobody in my school knows about European history more than me but sadly I am not interested in history of my own country. I was studying military tactics used by famous military leaders but, they are all crap in ET games.

I always make sure to have infantry in front of my two best artillery generals and my cavalry leading the way. I usually just go directly at their strongest forces and hope that I can overwhelm them. Also, the more troops that come your way, the less your allies encounter. Taking one for the team and getting stomped often let’s your allies steamroll through their unguarded territory. |

Isn't it suicide? I mean taking your best forces at enemy's best force for a head on clash can get your generals dead. I know it is sacrifice, you sacrifice your force for your AI Ally. No problem. Still, at least you win.😇

Apparently now the AI doesn't care whether their capital is captured or not but slam all their forces just to end your conquests.
