So I did not had much work at home and neither here. Hence I decided to come up with a guide. This time the Algeria 1815 guide.
Algeria is a small power in at North Africa. You have very less facilities and a crap general (Agha). But this is one of the most easiest conquest. You don't have many fronts to fight on and your economy will be kicked up and running. So this will guide you to finish your conquest within 100 rounds as a bonus too
So let's get started.
Step 1 - Crush your Neighhbours
Commander! The war waged by the French has been disastrous for them. We need to remember the well being done by them to us and rush to their aid. But first, we need to secure our home turf by eliminating our rivals - Tunisia.
Objective - Defeat Tunisia, Sardinia and prepare for the invasion of Russia, Africa and Spain
Hah! Algeria is really easy. But not that much for a under 100 round win. Take Agha and the light artillery and wipe out Tunisia. Don't spam more than 1 or 2 units of light artillery. You need money to upgrade your facilities and cities. Invest heavily in cities. Your economy will expand like a balloon in no time. This is because there aren't too many fronts to fight out. Once you get to Tunisia, take the artilleries and a infantry to defeat Sardinia. Have a couple of Frigates help you in this from the Tunisian port.
Also, don't forget to take a few units of infantry and frigates for Africa and Russia. Take one unit to triopolitania and steal a stable or better a city and aid them in the destruction of Egypt.
Make sure to land Agha in France along with a few infantry units. Also, spam some units in Algeria for the preparation of invasion of Spain.
Step 2 - European landings
Commander ! The war has come to a decisive point. Our landings in different places and their quickness will determine the fate of the war. We need to deal a fatal blow to the enemy to ease the pressure on the French troops.
Objective - Defeat Spain, Egypt and land at Russia and France.
And by landing, I don't mean simply landing. Conquer one of the city of Russia or steal from the Ottomans as you cannot fail in the Russian landings. If they wipe out your army, then it will take a long time to cross the seas once again. Also make sure to avoid the coastal cannons, if any in the area. Just bypass them.
Coming to Egypt, once you steal from Tripolotania, spam troops to defeat the enemy. For this -
1. Don't steal Heraklion. It might be tempting but no. It's too far to be a supply line.
2. Steal the stable at the Tripolitanian - Egyptian border.
3. Spam armoured cars. They deal a lot of damage.
4. Eliminate the fort first.
5. If your unit is less health, then keep it there and once you have your replacement, use it off.
6. The port at Cairo is a bonus.
And then, wipe of Egypt.
Now, coming to Spain. When you attack Spain, land your units at the extreme south, staying out of range for the port. Use your two frigates and take a couple more to get that port first. Now, with all your troops, after landing, take that city ASAP!! That city is important for the defeat of Spain. Macdonald would be foolishly attacking the Ferdinand in the range of fort. Go rescue him and wipe out the Spanish.
Now, after landing in France (better if Agha is there) steal Marseillie or if not available, steal a stable from the French. There isn't the need to spam Armoured Cars but if you can, then sure! Why not? Relieve the immediate pressure on the French-Austrian border. By the time I reached, Macdonald and Napoleon were the only alive French generals and they just spammed Grouchy.
Step 3 - Rotten Coalition
Commander ! Our forces have successfully gained a stronghold in Europe and Russia. However, the threat from the enemies still remains and we need to advance into the coalition to make them weak.
Objective - Expand into Russia, crush Bavaria, continental England and Austria.
Use your forces and new ones to defeat Bavaria quickly. This is because the Prussians spam a lot and they might reclaim Bavaria. A stronghold in Bavaria is important for strangling Austria. There will be heavy pressure at Vienna with Italy and Ottoman and even Wallachia sending in units to decimate them. Even with Russian intervention, they attack Vienna fiercely. But as you know, they usually won't be successful and over the course of time, the Austrians start counterattacking.
Bavaria is a spicy territory. It gives you access to Prussia and Vienna. If your troops can push through Vienna along with Russia(which is the main priority) then you can establish contact too. Use Bavarian territories wisely and it aids you in a quick wrap up. Deal a decisive blow to the Austrians there by spamming at Bavaria. However, make sure to defend your northern flank from the Scandinavian and Prussian forces.
Coming to continental England, destroy them with your Spanish contingent and if need be, steal some from the French. Also, make sure to seize the port. It will be important to prevent the english to land further troops. Make sure to defend the french coast from the English.
Step 4 - Blitzkrieg to Victory
Objectives - Wipe out the Austrians, the English and the Prussians. Eat more Russian territory.
Remember the template - 1. Destroy the fort at the capital
Objective - Complete the conquest.
You still have the Scandinavia too. For that, take your remanant forces from Prussia into Scandinavia. Spam a few frigates to bombard AND OCCUPY THE PORT FIRST!! This is important as your land units can't fight well against ships in water.
Once done, focus on attacking a single City and create a stronghold in the area. Then spam units from there, taking away the rest of Scandinavia.
As of the remanant of Russia -
1. Grind
And then enjoy your sweet victory for completing a conquest from a small country.

Objectives - Wipe out the Austrians, the English and the Prussians. Eat more Russian territory.
Remember the template - 1. Destroy the fort at the capital
2. Occupy the surrounding facilities
3. Surround and destroy the capitals.
The toughest capital is probably London or Berlin. London because it has very less space for more units to attack and Berlin because of the facilities around it, guarding it.
Coming to Prussia, it is then mop up. Coming to Britain too, it is mop up. But it would consume a lot of resources to destroy the ship at the harbour. Hence, spam the specialist - Siege artillery. And once you are done, then you can capture the port. For your convenience, there is Glasgow to the rescue.
Step 5 - Descending fog
