Notes:

Just a Fun French conquest with my beginner team.

Another year 1815 with the French.
Compare with 1806 the 1815 map looks empty and so wide! All edges must to be conquered. With my starter team a speedrun is impossible, so no pressure.

8 generals has France - all other countries maximum 2. We have a trading post in Metz?

A long conquest without any real problem.
Once again I could enjoy Sophia on Guards Cavalry - for untrained Sophia phantastic. She was in R20 already on the way to Egypt and still Egypt was last.

I turned Tunesia to have a port, later Sophia could steal the port of the Ottoman.
I tried to starve out Algeria, but they didn't show any problems even after 15 rounds without farm.

Full in R35 - but I have no ambition to replay this for a R38 run. Not really fun and R38 will be possible but hard, maybe with better generals.

Switzerland 1806


The Ottoman spam after defeating Austria was somewhat helpful when moving northward.
However, I had to intervene in the defence of Bucharest and the spammed inf barely approached the Russian fort which delayed the Turn count.

The Ottoman was also less aggressive along the Black Sea coastal regions so I had to take it out myself.

---

𝘛𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘴𝘬𝘺, I believe the clear outlier in these excessive 2* 1806 Conquests is Tunisia with its 750 years ruled.

Wallachia 1809; same equipment as before but add +6 artillery powder.

9999 9999 7096. 157 turns.

I conquered the entire map.

The key to this small nation is that it has a trading centre at the start, so the economy can be optimized. There were some curly moments at the start when a Russian general arrived, and I got lucky with multiple steals from Turkey before it turned hostile.

1806 Rhine - Fun
For me too!
And the ten or twenty, thirty rounds small countries need to achieve the start level of the big nations make any speeding bonus unrealistic. But to finish with a proper full stock (9998💰 99xx🔧 9999) gives 185 years.
Finishing with 6500🍖 instead of full, costs pretty exact 1 round or 9 years!

Notes:

After my 1815 France conquest, I thought that Austria, with a stategical better position could be a canidate for another 850 conquest.

As I enjoyed untrained Sophia on the 1806 conquests, I tried her again. After 5 rounds I gave up - the missing strike is for the ottoman-front a knock out criteria.
Sakurako´s first hit as her replacement was exact 100HP

The French economy was rocking good. Austria showed up as much weaker and very late - many cities are in Africa and Asia.

My first try was again too expensive. I coudn´t get a full stock within R38.
On my second try finishing in R34 I just had a score of 800years - but in R36 I had finally enough ressources to get 850years with Austria 1815.

𝘛𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘴𝘬𝘺, so now it has been discovered that 850 Years on HRE alone is not an isolated case, but rather a series of criteria needed to be fulfilled to meet a hidden scoring criteria.

The problem lies in the feasibility and sustainability of certain new entries.
For example, the astonishing 850 Years on Austria 1815 seems like you'd need extreme tactical and strategic foresight, given the horrendous starting conditions. I don't think it would be easy for anyone to easily clear certain conquests for an 850 Years clear.

Was Austria 1815 easier or tougher?
Unlike France 1806 in which the spam was concentrated in Germany and Poland, the enemy spam in 1815 occurs in France and the faraway Egypt.

Nobunaga Oda, the 1815 France conquest I played with my untrained starting team. With 8 french generals the conquest is quite easy but long! Without a War Horse I never thought about finishing in R38, but this should be possible.

Austria I played with my end team and it was hard to arrive with a full stock before R38, on my first try I missed still resources in R38. I play now Russia instead Austria and I think/hope the bigger starting economy will pay out.

As much as I played, France 1806 is far away the most practical way to get early 850years. The coalition spam is not this problematic if you head quickly forward. Most of the spammed troops are militaria - with an AC even as double formation a single shot.

As I see with how small armies you win your conquests, you probably will have less problems than I had.

Why I wait, even until R15, to build an AC (1815)
