850 / 900 Years - Resources calculation

Ok, I can partly reproduce it. Using my old save of round 30, and a trick, I got 850 years rule up to round 36.

The trick works like this: my cavalry general for the conquest was regrouped after it, leaving an open seat in the save. I deployed a 5* trader with napoleonic code in Rome got therefor a much better trading rate tha Archduke before. 

At round 36 years switched to 800 first, but I was able to once more turn it to 650 by final trading gold for food up to 9999 and metal for gold up to 9999. from Round 37 it stayed on 800, no matter what I tried. 

It must be considered I’m finished with the game, so campaign stars (420) rank (lvl 57) and nobility (lvl 65) are high.



here’re the screenshots of the previous rounds:

This can’t be possible to achieve. There’s no way on earth you can get an amount of industry over 8000 in 36 rounds and still have so much of everything else. Even with an economic general on a city. You receive absolutely no help from any allies (literally no general moves from their starting position when I play) I face all the enemies alone. There isn’t a way to get that many resources while still having to build and supply so many troops in order to win. The Russians are the only ones who moved one troop and Bagration goes right at Warsaw and fails. Do I have to do a certain thing in order for my allies to move?

That's impressive, what I do is just up my economy and take out the weakest nations then move on the strongest.

marathon_lancer, my first conquests took ages. Then I saw the running-for-Lan-guides and also thought I’ll never be able to copy that. Nevertheless it’s possible and you can do it, too. Most of us are no genius, but there’re good guides. My highest respect for guys like Kanue, who found a way, just by try and error, and shared it. 

You don’t need 8000 metal and you don’t need a 5*trader. In my real conquest i needed my 3 generals at the front like everybody else. What  𝘛𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘴𝘬𝘺, did and I try to reproduce is taking the final safe of ~round 30 and just let the game run and trade. So the game is almost finished, except one final enemy unit. Except a bit of food there’s no more consumption, all income adds to the snowball effect that started ~round 22, when I stopped to upgrade buildings. The units I needed to defeat all enemies were deployed before. 

The allies are never a big help. You can be happy when Russia, Sweden, GB and Portugal bound some enemy forces until you are strong enough to defeat them. 

Here you can read what worked for me. It includes the guides my run was based on and some additional tipps. For example how I used gold. Maybe it helps. 

On inf gens with Mass Fire, this skill automatically grants them an effect Snare Drum provides when such inf gens are deployed on inf units.

Snare Drums are ysed on gens that specialise in another field as there are no equivalent skills for other units.

Can Victoria only be won in 1798 HRE? Has anyone got her on a different conquest?
