Conquest information: The Team: Class Mid Year: 1809 Country: Austria Score: R35, 8654 π§ = 850/500 years Notes: Just missed the cut off! I will try again with an earlier save. Wow, how you scratched the target! (France 1809, right?) I am very surprised that You are missing ressources ! Usually your runs are extreemly economical littlecorporal. I expected You to have a 'full' stock a few! rounds earlier. Thank you for sharing your scores - this is always so inter resting. Just got Victoria by replaying from R13! The exact counts for iron are a big help. I used Austria 1809 because I like their generals. Still too low to get Lan but I will work on my HQ and campaign stars. |

One thing I regretted- I should have got Arnold a Napoleonic Code for the conquest. Since it's essentially an economic victory that's requiredοΌthe Code is an extremely useful item for boosting your score.

I don't think you can build them so fort spam isn't an issue. The AI also plays more aggressivelyοΌ regularly leaving facilities unguarded to attack. I think it's the biggest map of the game. Wallachia is a lot of fun to play. I might try it again with Arnold and 5 Cav generals. |

Thanks to him and to the passion of some other users like pathdoc and littlecorporal, I felt the need to play the game again, so this is the first conquest of this new playthrough. Thanks, guys! I just did a relaxed conquest with France, no special tactics and no rushing. I used the two gens on the English front. I upgraded a lot of towns, but didn't bother to upgrade everything like I would do in a HRE speed conquest. In the end I could trade resources only with Jourdan (2 trading stars) in Dublin.Β This conquest gave me Sophia, Maria and Fatimah, and it should give me Isabela afterΒ raising the HQ level (now at lvl 32 and 43) |

I explained something here. I used Sophia on the siege artillery but I should have used her in Italy, since there was some cavalry spam that killed the doube heavy artillery, slowing me down. The last things to be destroyed were the Spanish coastal fortress in the South and Huarte. I couldn't starve out the Spanish |

What a great run ! My compliment blueberry, I already read your excellent HRE review nice. One thing I have to complain: You should fill up your food before to finish ! They are charged 2:1! , so you have a 8772π§ score - just this trade will give a few years extra, and you are so close to 900 years. |

They are charged 2:1! , so you have a 8772π§ score - just this trade will give a few years extra, and you are so close to 900 years. Thanks! I can get 99** food with trading until turn 30, and 900 years with hq improvement, I think, so I just have to be patient. Anyway, I have a few questions about the years ruled score calculation: 1. are the bonuses for rank and nobility benchmarks or is it possible to have various values? Like if a general has 8 nobility the bonus is 22500 rice and if he has 10 nob. it's 27500. But if the bar is halfway between 8 and 10, do I get a bonus of halfway between 22500 and 27500 or do I have to reach 10 to have 27500? 2. Likewise for money, food, industry. Do I have to reach 9999 to have the bonus? 3. Is there a bonus for completing a conquest with 4 or 3 or 2 stars country? Like a lesser threshold to get Victoria or Lan or something like that. I have no problem getting Lan and I just got Victoria, I am just curious about it. |

I have no problem getting Lan and I just got Victoria, I am just curious about it. This was a pretty nice 900-run you did - just the exchange before finish is missing, to see your full score ;-9 - The headquarter bonus is jumping with your ranks. With every rank up, you will achieve a higher score. (And regrouping usually lowers it)
The intermediates don't count. For this reason the LV in your achievements give just a rough idea, but they are not significant.
- There are no steps for the conquest ressources ...
but as the final calculation has a rate of 2:1 and you get with Arnold a rate of 5:1, It pays out to fill up food and gold:
You can exchange 2500π for 100π§. For missing 2500π you are 'charged' 625π§.
525π§ difference - this are 5Β½ years
5 years more - just for this ultimate exchange.
This makes it is easy to compare scores: In my lists, (IE: rounds and years) I just name the minimum iron necessary - with 9999π+9999π°.Λ
- Apart that you can place more generals is there is no other bonus for small countries.

Yeah, I know about the exchange rates, and I obviously read your thread about the trading abnormalities. Thanks for the answers! Now I'm working on US 1775 with the same militia-spam method. It looks even easier than HRE 1798! |

I used Arnold for trading, Diez on the light cav near the Portuguese town, Sophia on the double siege artillery. Washington stayed in the factory near Philadelphia, Jackson in the one near Providence. I finished on every front at about round 21-22, but waited until turn 25 to maximize resources. I left the Indian small fort northwest of Philadelphia as last thing to destroy. With some nobility grinding I will get Lan in a short time. Hopkins is really useless! |

Update on my USA 1775 conquest. After raising my generals' nobility, I could get Lan. I have a gen at 74 rank and 10 nobility, one at 64 and 10, one at 54 and 10, one at 44 and 8. My hq when I got Lan: |

Notes:
I forgot about Sulkowski for a few rounds while he was in northern Michigan. Last front was St. Louis and the Spanish fort to the south.
If I gather resouces until round 31 (9999,8138,9999) then American years goes up to 850 but Asian years down to 500.

Special tactics:
I added the first 3 to starting units and then used Jerome's architecture to upgrade cities before bringing him to Charleston to trade. Avoiding Treville and Verhuell while seizing coastal cities is a challenge. I added Platov and Calder but neither was necessary.
Notes:
I think the only way to get a high score with a 2 star country is to immediately add generals to the less than spectacular starting units. If you wait to build it's hard to finish quickly.
