I wasn't able to get the photos. I'll try again later, but here is the map explained so far.
I was Sweden. I captured Copenhagen on round 2, and it took 3 more rounds for Denmark to capitulate. I took Oldenburg, and a bunch of cities adjacent. At this point Rhine fell, and I pretty much just strolled into Paris on round 18. Rhine fell without any interference from me, except for Oldenburg. You know what it did die from? A massive amount of Prussian and Austrian spam. Now the Russians are joining in on the fun. This seems like a sort of anomaly, but I'm at Clermont while there's a huge mass of coalition spam in Bavaria. If this is normal, does anyone know where it will be heading next so I can prioritize the nations ignored by them? I'm assuming they will attack France, so does that mean I should head for Italy?

You need to care for Spain. Italy will soon start to move. ... and nobody will defeat the ottomans for you At least one general for each front, the coalition won't move much south. |

Ok, so how does this sound? Dobeln for Ottoman Marmont (Parisian Tavern) for Spain Kutaisov for Italy |

That spam will stay there and just keep growing. Best way to clean it up is with armored cars.

Send one infantry even to north france, I've seen a battle of Le Havre for more than 20 Rounds. They won't help, they will not follow to spain for example. I believe this was an additional hint, how to get rid of this scary coalition sponge in 1806 conquests. I prefer 1806 instead the HRE-conquests, but tactical different. |

I prefer 1806 instead the HRE-conquests, but tactical different. yes, there is indeed a contrast. I see a full health Radetzky in Sofia, and think "hmmm, we are doing pretty good." And then look farther west and see a crap ton of Neapolitan spam at Uskup. The Spanish are spamming pretty badly now as well. |

I'm sorry still not really clear what the problem is. In general, get through enemy spam using flanking AC and light artillery to weaken them. For friendly spam, your best bet is putting a war horse on a fast general and then going around and through it, then capture facilities on the other side. Spam won't help you win objectives, but if you can identify the hold up, like a general in a capital, helping out your allies tends time get them moving. I feel like spam in general moves to the closest enemy but I'm not sure. Hope this helps.
Which round are you in now?

Did exactly that, and now have Buda Pest as a FOB I am currently fighting a three-front war against the Italians, Spanish, and Ottomans, so when one of them falls, I will have more than enough money to spam AC. The spam right now is doing a terrible job of killing Switzerland, so I will assist them on that and in return maybe get some relief in Italy. |

Don't bet on spam helping you. About the only thing they are good for is destroying forts you bypass on your way to capturing enemy facilities.

1806 is my least favorite European conquest because the spam starts early and does not stop for a long time. The way the countries are aligned also make it annoying because you have to divide your troops in three separate fronts - as Coalition, (Ottomans + Africa, France + Spain, and Italy) and as France aligned you have to really do it up four (Russia, Britain, Africa, and Central Europe)

The most fun I've had for red team was in 1814. I breaking through MacDonald's troops as Spain, and retreating then striking back at the Ottomans as Serbia. I don't really like the major countries for 1815 though, as it is just a slog, spamming as much as you can to overwhelm the French generals. I find that the 1812 conquest is the most balanced and fun for both sides. |

My personal favorite is 1809, but 1798 is great for speedruns so I try it every so often. 1815 is fine unless you are playing as blue and aren't the Ottomans, because they take forever to defeat Egypt |

France has a lot of generals, but they are painfully dispersed, and you can either send Napoleon to the UK, and have to grind in Europe, or send him to Europe, and you have to somehow win against Wellesley with just Jourdan. Iberia is just not fun, even with Ney and Lannes, and Africa just seems to be an unnecessary extension. The best one to play imo, is Poland. Rhine is fun, but I can't shake off the feeling of being a French puppet. Coalition is terribly nerfed as well, giving Russia 3 OK generals, and giving Austria barely any. |
