 ^easiest 1861 challenge conquest. Peru is much much harder, but its still a whole lot easier than Greece/Portugal 1865, without even mentioning tribal union 1914 or moroco 1917  
Basically just dismiss one of the starting generals for more income (if not you wont be getting any due to overpopulation). I placed Beseler, Jackson and Hipper on the given units. Capture Richmond, and the confederates are basically ruined. You may want to bribe Spain/Iroquoi/Canada/UK out early in the game, and bribe Mexico in early too. After the Confederates are defeated handling the British/Canadian spam might be daunting, but its very light as compared to other conquests. When you destroy the spam, it should be a smooth path from here. Apparently we need to master the art of bribery in conquest challenges |

In my run I am surprised when france really helped me do the work. They even got the british lost isles in the east. |

Dang I just lost for the 10th time in 1914 challenge serbia. I dont understand why kevin says its easier than non challenge, to me facing the Austrohungarians is much more manageable than waiting for the Bulgarian city to be left open (which only happened once in my 8 attempts today) and stopping the Ottomans from cycling their generals on Constantinople (which happened that one time I made use of open Sofia). This seems to be impossible for me, albeit having everything maxed and upgraded. I dont seem to be doing anything wrong, just that im not achieving the same results as everyone else? Oops

Oops Try spamming gens on militia for belgrade, and use artillery to destroy incoming land troops on sea, and cav gens destroying regular units while trying to weaken enemy gens. Idk if you have tried it, and I might try serbia later. |

Oops I declare on Bulgaria on turn 1 and kill them turn 2. It's good economically and also gives you and your allies a lot more space to work with. The reason it's easier is because you have an extra Howitzer, Breastplate Cavalry and an which you can deploy your generals on. On normal mode you can't do anything, you're only given Putnik and Stepanovic, 100 gold, basically no income, and you either have to push through Austria-Hungary (very hard, I've never done this) or kill Bulgaria turn 2 (very luck based, requires an infantry general on light infantry). Also, that some of the enemies spawn on Armored Cars actually makes them easier to deal with than on normal mode where they spawn on Breastplate Cavalry since you have a fort and 2 artillery. Challenge mode is still tough and requires some militia spam, but it's much easier to get the the point of basic functionality. |

I have no income given that there's an equally concerning assault on belgrade... i see. Defending three cities as serbia is impossible. Well maybe the only can do it is to make the enemy only focused on constantinople and belgrade. |

I think I did Just set an infamous record of longest conquest ever with Brazil 1917 (finished in 1937 ,after more than 230 turns).First I had to conquer almost all Americas (Colombia +Mexico + Cuba + western and central usa), then I took all Europe and Africa by myself starting from Great Britain, with only one general left. I had to use an extreme amount of medpacks and gas to do the job, but it was fun.
