Game difficulty

IMO one of the easiest ET game i ever play. I have a whole full general slot here lel. The freebies are awesome (Moltke, Jackson, Todorov,Loof, Farragut, Robeck) and thanks to coin system you can proceed the game easier compared to other game which is based on medal mostly. This game is just like GC: Rome but easier (i mean most of stuff here almost same like GC: R)

I don’t recall 1914 being difficult at all. The whole economy is really easy to deal with because coins are vastly more useful in this game. You also get truckloads of general slots and like 10 or so free generals, one of which is basically the single best in the game. Really, the only resource that is actually somewhat precious are textbooks.

Those textbooks allow you to change every skill that a general has. Every. Single. One. So the only real thing to consider are stats and how many skill slots they have. Then you just turn everyone into the same super general for every unit type.

The only things that are difficult imo are the hard mode conquests, cuz unit stats are just too chunky. And some incredibly stupid challenges that require you to deploy like 0 or 1 generals and require either extremely precise play or straight up medkit spam.

Also you can 1 turn win with Austria-Hungary in 1914.

I find this game very easy and I like the way skills are set up. I love the conquests.

There are only two relatively difficult modes of the game: challenge conquests and historic battles.

Arguably challenge conquests are the best conquests ever created by ET. Playing for Serbia or Belgium is a real fun

In the history mode we have only a limited number of available generals, and that makes some of these battles somewhat challenging.

Yeah, it is the only ET game with 2 different conquests (regular and hard ones) Regular conquests are nothing special, to tell the truth. But challenge conquests are really interesting because your situation is really dangerous right from the beginning. Especially if we are playing for 1* countries. So, beating these conquests within respectable number of turns required a hell of a planning and strategizing. I heard they nerfed these challenge conquests, but still they should be fun to play.

These conquests had a great speed run potential, but unfortunately GoG3 was released soon after and many players lost their interest in EW6: 1914.

stoic, I was actually gonna ask why there isn't a conquest record for 1914. Also, how's GoG3 as a game, haven't played any of the previous GoG. Let me derail my own thread a bit  . For the records, I'm still warming up on the EW6 mechanics, been a while since i played it, so it's weird not being able to stack units and generals actually have to rely on healing items. 

The thing that makes GCR easy is the fact that you can spam units on top of each other, which is why the early campaigns are really hard to 3 star early on with the lack of generals. That said, conquest isn't hard. Early days of GCR was quite fun due to the lack of medals, still remember the 3.9 score for GCR upon release. Was planning to try out WC4 just for the records, but the records are probably really optimized to the point that tying or just shaving 1 turn isn't worth the time.
