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 Yes Lusignan is sufficient. This was my error. Karl has even no problem with Huarte in the last rounds. |

I usually send him to Spain but only after he helps my Sophia take over Italy Italy was quite easy - with Lusignan together they took quick north Italy on his way to Spain. Lusignan and a few normal units continued Roma e le isole maggiore. French upgraded early two farmlands on these islands. I could not starve them out during the conquest. Only the really last french unit (apart forts) got panic, after we got Sardegna. Napoleon in Panic at the cost of Sicily. |

There is a random generator for building a unit. Even threatened hexes will sometimes not build. For artillery, it randomly makes a single formation of one of the four units and then 20% of the time nothing. This is why the AI sometimes builds a siege cannon when the factory is under attack. You can see this on save and loads.
I'm not sure if the guy making the video guide did s/l, probably not I think from the editing. But it makes sense in some of your test runs the AI would randomly decide to build or not build a unit there.
What I'm saying, it's not you.

My first ever quick HRE run ended with the Spanish not building a cannon in their last factory in North Africa, allowing me to seize it before the big bonus drop (R30?). When I went back to trade and maximize scores, get additional Princesses, every other time the AI built a unit π. It took a lot of s/l to repeat.

The author's name is δΉι£η¬η ΄ζ΅ͺδΈΆ. I don't think I can find him since the video is made 3 years ago. Thank you Erich von Manstein. This is Ride the wind ( and breake the waves ) - My first two chineese silbings, the only word I can recognize without translator. δΉι£η¬η ΄ζ΅ͺδΈΆ is the one (or two ?) who brought the years ruled formula to the chineese forum. I didn't notice any indication that the video is manipulated. littlecorporal, Your first reaction was: looks like a developer - probable You are, once again, with the right feeling: Since I saw the evaluation of δΉι£ to calculate years, I believe he is affiliate with ET, and they 'leaked' the formula on purpose. His formula is more than 99% exactly what I found out, but in a way scrambled that the easy math logic and round numbers of the calculation remain obstacled. For this reason I thought he's a ET developer. The Napoleonic Code was not necessary to get a full stock within R30. Getting the Napoleonic Code early, needs extreme luck in the shop - or access to mission IEβ’2b. And it seems that he's knowing the Arnold trick (another idea inspired by littlecorporal's intuition). This Video is really good and a big help. Thank you δΉι£η¬η ΄ζ΅ͺδΈΆ, it will be great, if you can join our ET Fan Community, ζζ΄θ¨εΊ |

That's one is accessible very early in game. For having the Napoleonic Code in Vienna on his short run he got 600π§ extra - plus the advance for making a few upgrades earlier. The Enzoclopedia has half the effect. Less than two rounds is the effect of the NapCode - stealing two cities or factories brings more. Arnold + Enzoclopedia = Nenadovic, he just costs 100π more than Arnold. |

Wow, I never thought of this but you are right. Will Nenadovic show up in the beginning? He is tier ii, right?

Yes Nenadovic is tier II. For this reason it took months before I have seen him the first time ever in the academy. Statisticly they have a similar probability to show. |

I wonder if Nenadovic is also available at the beginning if you refresh tier ii. It's interesting too because Nenadovic is so cheap compared to most tier ii generals.

I thought he must be tier II for his price, and he was for me the phantom - never at school or academy. For my posting I became curious: There is one 5β business-trainer in tier I+II+III each. And there two more IAP with 5β - thats it! Only 5 of 200 generals can trade, without being extra charged: Washington, Alexander, Jackson , Nenadovic and Arnold |

I have made two attempts and it diverged from the original both times. I lost the horse that was supposed to take the Paris Artillery factory, and I also lost the city he had conquered below the fort with the general. Retaining this is the key to getting into the French heartland quickly, starving them out at an early stage, and having the militia to surround, neutralize and destroy Desaix and Dumouriez. As I said to ππ³π°π΅π΄π¬πΊ, elsewhere, keeping the horse and retaining the city are key to the early phase of the battle, and it is worth spending medipacks. However, I am so far down to 42 turns which is enough to get me Isabella and Sakurako, so it was worthwhile. Trying to get it in under 30 will be the next big step. I wonder if there's a similar guide for the US? |
