anybody know a good 1* nation for 1917 challenge? i tried bulgaria and serbia but both are pretty hard. i was thinking of doing portugal because taking spain is pretty easy but i remember from normal challenge that germany and austria spam too many units at france/germany border. don't really want to do any 1* in america because i have to travel all the way to europe.

Have you tried Morocco yet? Heard that if you move fast enough, facing the deadly central powers spam actually becomes manageable if you had set up a trench front in france |

Heard that if you move fast enough, facing the deadly central powers spam actually becomes manageable if you had set up a trench front in france As you said you need to move quickly so I mostly deploy light machinegunners. Because of their somewhat better against infantry. After a while I would try to deploy a armoured car to counter attack. Make sure to hold Paris! |

Make sure to hold Paris! i tried bulgaria again and it worked for a bit, i was able to take all the balkan cities, for some reason the enemy left them unguarded so i was able to take them. i build lots of artillery to defend against the incoming Italian units crossing the sea but it was too much. i will try morocca and portugal but i doubt they will be any easier |

  i tried Portugal again and its so hard I got to turn 30 but the enemy is too much. It’s me against Germany Austria ottomans and ussr. I had to spend 15 medkits so I was able to clear the first 3 waves of enemies but the enemy just keep coming. I’m spamming Milita in every city but I can’t hold the ottomans south. I’m thinking of just giving up and trying another nation. I think it’s easier to fight against France England and Italy because I don’t need to deal with such spam. |

if i had unlimited amount of medkits, i could probably do it but i only have 70. im just trying to hold the line with my milita and using all my generals to take cities as fast as possible.

Well anything will be plausible with an infinite amount of medkits; I could even aim for speedruns that way haha |

Try Egypt.
You should be able to steamroll Africa without trouble. Send some detachment to Balkan and snatch some rich cities from there. Conquer Italy, either from Tunisia or Balkan. In a meanwhile keep training some militia in African coastal cities to keep the combined US-UK-Portuguese fleets busy there.

I’ve tried Egypt but by the time I conquer North Africa, Europe is lost. I think 1* for 1917 is pretty much impossible with max tech. If my tech was lower then I could probably do it. I might try a country in america because I can alteast win that side but i would have to go all the way to Europe, Idk tbh I might just give up.

i tried all 1* nations and i think you have the best chance of winning with greece. i experimented with all the balkan countries as well as the countries in america and portugal, there is no point in doing those, you need to attack the central powers early on and if you use the other countries, you get to the fight late and by that time the enemy spam is too much. the only way to do is it to be able to take sofia and constantinople in 3 turns which is doable but the hard bit is taking austria, you need to pretty much rush them and defend the balkan cities at the same with little gold.

Try Greece, Greece is like Imperial Russia. You have the initiative to backstab the central powers early before they could start spamming. I killed off Bulgaria early, and take Constantinople. From Constantinople, I started eating the Ottomans up with the help of Russia. The French was holding off very fondly during my game, though. So, I took out Austria-Hungary and divided my forces into two; first one go to Germany and the other go to St. Petersburg. Oh, and when my economy is strong enough, I decided to bribe the Russians. Surprisingly, they managed to take Moscow using lots of mortars and infantries. The Americas are not problem, although they were the last ones to fall. With all this I managed to win in Dec 1920, but not as fast as the Russian game, which is May 1920 (around ~30 turns). (oh, also, this is my first post, cheers) this is challenge mode right? not normal mode. i tried to take austrian cities but it was hard to defend my balkan cities because my economy is still small early on |
