Have you seen the great HRE video that Erich von Manstein brought to us? Not to move August I. in round 1 one hex, changes already the conquest dramaticly. I have never found this Idea here before. Getting directly the two northen french factories without battle are such a difference, and you can leave the factory at paris undefended - such great strategy, and many additional ressources! It is not easy for me to look and replay the conquest with a video-guide. And I even just focussed on the the important beginning for now. He finishes in R28 with a full stock! But he played quite forward down from the beginning. Reminder: not attacking is a good tactics This is not 100% for every action, it looks for me, as the most reliable path, his routes are very nice. Reminder: It is important not to build too early new troops, if you still need upgrades. As much as I know, having the Napoleonic Code in Vienna will give aprox. 3240π° (650π§) over 30 rounds, I would calculate the advantage he had, by having the Napoleonc Code, about two rounds, but not more than three. This run needs a guide... Do you know the name of the author Erich von Manstein? |

This is pretty cool guide, but we can't see every second of the guide though. I might not hesitate to copy the entire guide because it looks so good, but you are right ππ³π°π΅π΄π¬πΊ, we cannot copy every second of the guide and this one needs a new guide, considering the fact that the last one was made by kanue long back. |

I am not sure of how repeatable it is. It seems like every move was planned in advance, i.e. He knew what the AI would do.

This is Gong Fu: For sure he knows his routes and he played it more than once before. At least the first 5-10 moves of a conquest can be easyly trained. His walktrough in northern france is repeatable - I got always the factory of paris with his opening,and as much I've seen, it loocked repeatable. 1798 is a quite empty conquest to train certain routes. Without headquarter generals the battles with normal units are amazing repeatable. To know and manipulate the AI is in my oppinion and playstyle extremly important in EW4. To know how many movement (3-6) each hex costs is necessary - I check evasion, and so I usually can trap strong generals. I just played a few 1798, but this guide is full of innovative moves for me. sadly it's in a sequential video, the worst media to make a guide. |

I'd say throw him in the Ottomans. For Italy, you can use ships, Archduke Charles and Klenau. Denmark is usually easy to punch through in the beginning, after Netherlands |

I always had Ceuta, the Spanish enclave in Morocco for last. And I always used him on the Italian front. |

After a certain point it becomes about streamlining the process.
I really need to push for Lan when I have the time. She's the one princess I don't have. Lol

I remember, you had your reasons... Lan: US 1775 in R25! (9999ππ° - like always). You will enjoy it. |

I tryed to replay the conquest with the video-guide. On the first two or three tests, I could easy occupy the undefended factory of Paris. I started the conquest, and could not arrive to repeat this again. Probably one tigger movement different, I don't know, but on 15 to 20 AI test-turns, France always build an artillery there. It looks like this can happen regular and the author It will be great, if someone can translate his name shows rthe alternative path I think - I took Lyon instead. Around R5 to R8 I gave up to copy his run, too different were the situations in detail already. But my conquest relied on his opening and the strategy for the general paths, A video is so hard to analyse, I start to collect single, for me important differences to Kanue's great guide. Attn: We don't have combat generals - Only Arnold on Militia in Vienna (I did not have any Items).
Acheduke Karl (Acheduke.C) for Spain. The biggest difference to my previous conquests. Very important to arrive in time, I usually hired Acheduke Johann in Weilburg, to have at least one 3-hex general. Karl (c) is the gamechanger: his route determinated the length of the conquest, I was not rushing with him every round.
Delroy, I used for Poland
Steal agressiv from your allies.
From this guide:
Send the light cav at start, to conquer russian properties. This (single unit) can give around 5%-10% extra on the total score. Even the prussian factory east of Berlin can be yours.
The opening - check the paths

Interesting, I mostly use Russia and Prussia to distract Poland and don't hire Archduke. J to save as many resources as I can. |

With only 2 hex movement, I never arrived to finish Spain and even Morocco in time. Archeduke Johann on light infantry, was my only solution. Karl is strong and fast enough to finish Spain before R30, and like Deroy, not necessary for the ottomans. 1789 has very few ressources, the three cities in Poland are another 5% and we want the maximum (900 years) before R31 - he played -4 ! |

Makes sense. Spain is really far away from Central Europe overall and Lusignan usually suffices for the Ottomans given he has Mass Fire |
