The greeks, just gained independence from the Ottoman Empire, which rose after the fall of the Byzantium, wants to rebuild the fallen empire to help its allied powers to stop the rise of the Prussians.
Greece 1865
Rebuild the Byzantine Empire!
ps. what greece really wants its full independence by attacking ottomans
There are two variations in this conquest where the strategies are different:
The normal conquest (where you are in war with ottomans)
The challenge conquest (where ottomans will join in 9 turns)
Recommended general lineup:
Normal: atleast one for cav, art, navy
Challenge: atleast about 2-3 for cav and art, one for navy
Making an infantry gen is optional.
General tip: declare war on papal states, they are just like the sardinians on 1804. Dont worry, they wont excommunicate you
Lets start.
The normal conquest
This one is just simple. You are in war with ottomans, so take constantinople asap. Taking it will provide you a factory for your artgen. Make one, then in the next turn declare war on bulgarians. Finish them, and after that declare war on romanians. Use the army to retake some cities austrians lost, and make a counterattack against the bavarians, german confederacies and prussians. Make a separate army in constantinople to help the russians kill the ottomans. They usually upgrade their cities to max levels, so taking them boosts your income.
In about 10-20 turns france will suffer in 3-front war. But since your forces are already defended austria and now attacking the prussians and its german allies, they will be saved from falling down. After finishing the german trio, either separate your armies, one helping france and one going to british mainland; make a separate army to help france, or some more things that you like. Either ways, the victory is now sealed to yours. Send your army in ottomans to iberia to assist your troops in defeating spain. Just defeat the latter and britain, and your done.
The challenge conquest
Ths one is different from the normal one. Ottomans wont join immediately, you have a howitzer already, you have a factory. But this conquest is harder than the normal, or even way harder. This is divided into three phases, owning balkans, saving austria, then full counterattack against the coalition.
Phase 1 ~ Owning Balkans.
This will be the position of your army in turn one. Declare war to the papal states ofc, and bulgaria. Its very essential to defeat them at the next turn. Formulate blast also as to help you damage city. Artillery attack city, then other attack howitzer, navy go to black sea where it will help kill romania. Bulgarians should not make an infantry on the city, otherwise restart. Then kill whatever spawned in the factory, and the cavalry should kill it and victory rush to take city, otherwise restart; but if none, just take the city. Declare war on romania in turn 3 (provided that you SHOULD kill bulgaria in turn 2) and finish them off with your navy help.
Phase 2 ~ Saving Austria.
After you kill romania, rush to austria and help them defend their cities. By then, the enemy should be attacking vienna with the help of the bavarian artgen. If possible, try to defend vienna and kill the said general. Its okay if vienna is captured, you are able to take it back later, but dont let austria die. The prussian generals is in about 2/3 of their hp left. Kill them with your army, if possible, add some more generals to help the army. Make an army to attack ottomans, include your navy so constantinople can be taken fast. When they join take it asap, then defend a little, and launch an effective counterattack against them. Remember the capital, losing it will affect your whole game. Help the russians then, to kill them. This will make a great factor in your victory, as russia will send more troops in storming prussia. Remember also, when they join and made a counterattack, cooperate with them and retake the austrian cities. Build a factory then in one of them and spam light artilleries to invade bavaria and the german confederation. The russians will eventually attack berlin, so make your army go there, or some inf units to take it when you have chance. Defend berlin at any means as soon as you get it, even make a general there so it wont fall, that will act as some bait for the incoming british troops.
Phase 3 ~ Full conterattack against the coalition
So as said, spam light artilleries and invade bavaria and german confed, take berlin and defend it in any means. When you have defeated the two, split your armies: one to liberate france, and one to take the remaining prussian cities. Make a small army to liberate southern france. Still defend berlin, then after your forces took the city west of it, still defend it, but its okay if only militia/light inf will defend it. Watch out for the british troops, they can take your cities which give you pressure. Your ottoman armies should reinforce your advance to southern france. The cities there is somewhat easy to defend, as it is behind the alps, and the spanish troops will have a hard time taking it. Watch out for navy transports, you already know . So in north, there should be your main army, liberate much of france, and retake paris. Then go to britain to take london and give them a hard blow. Make an another army to fully liberate france and make a counter against spain. By then you should have prussia defeated, and have a large income to sustain defense. So still, defend the territories, your allies will help you finish the remnants of enemy armies in secured austria-germany region. They, along with the italians, later help you in defense of france. When you reached the spanish border, make an army to make counterattack spain. Clear iberia, if possible, take palma also to defeat it. In britain, after getting england, either invade ireland or make genocide; kill british troops until they makes surrender.
Thats it, you have restored the byzantine empire, and saved austria and france. The enemies of greece has kneeling on us, commander! Enjoy your victory and the rewards of one star.

Note:
Greece 1865 challenge is not the easiest one, as it involves luck and strategy, and you have to deal with the balkans + ottomans and later the whole coalition. Bavaria 1865 is easier, you can use the existing guide () to finish it.
So, in about 5-15 turns france and austria begin to fall, so it is important for france to take rome as to extend their lifespan. Watch out for the ottoman reinforcements, they can take city. It is also good if napoleon thirdy spawn in corsica, so as to take the rome. In my run france only has the two said cities. They retook marseille before their two cities fall, so they barely survived.
Spam formulate blast and forced march also
