For infantry I put lee on a hmg and straussenburg on a new infantry. Lee can kill units and with blasts can easily take cities. I send Straussenburg to go with lee to boost him and to capture the city. I tend to also send Ivanov of with those two and the three make a deadly combo.

stoic , i also don't have anyone maxed atm. My Jackson is still a King. He'll definitely be the first to be maxed, still surprised a general as good as him is free. Yeah, that's true. Also try not to dismiss free generals at least before completing HM battles. For example, we need Grant and Farragut for NA missions, Moltke for two German missions and so on. Good thing I don't have a habit of dismissing generals. Shame Grant is a dumpster, along with Sherman. Would've wanted to use them a lot more, or even purchase in the case of Sherman. |

Him on hmg just rolls over a lot of units. Him with beseler is my usual tag team, tho I just send generals all out together, I enjoy concentrating forces usually, but Jackson and Lee together is great together funnily enough. |

McClellan was a real star before they gave us an opportunity to change skills. After that update he and Hotzendorf were the main loosers. We still may need McClellan for HM Civil war battles though. Not sure that Grant and Farragut can win them alone. |

I have both I may decide to dismiss later down the line if I need Need stuff for campaigns but the normal campaigns are very easy. Might do some more conquests any good challenge 1861s I can not figure out any strategies besides USA.

Although, I won't really say stuck since it was the first try, but my fleet got destroyed. Might need a navy general, or i could just revise my strategy, and I'll probably do the latter as I just bought Plumer. |

I tried a normal conquest for 1914 on the allied part, and i got rekt with. Guess it's back to using militias and light cavalry for generals for them. |

The higher your tech is, the stronger your enemies are in challenge conquests. Their tech will always be 2 levels above you. |

Nonetheless I prefer to play them with fully upgraded technologies and generals. Opponents may have higher levels but they know little to nothing of concentrated attacks on one front. It is like in chess to have one pawn against two or to have six pawns against seven. In first example the defeat is almost guaranteed, but it the second one the outcome is far from certain and it depends on the overall strategic situation on the board. Upgraded technologies and upgraded generals are trumps in player's hands. |

Wait, so their stats aren't capped? I assumed they would have a cap, along with hp of cities and such. If not, then that's a shame. It still does improve survivability of units, tho I'm not sure the conversion between hp and Def compared to atk, so I might be wrong. |

stoic, we still need to use our brains to beat them. The ai with pure stats wins most of the time if we aren't prepared

I managed to get a Canada 1861 challenge conquest easily the hardest one I've done yet. At times I had to spawn a militia in 5 cities every turn and was naval invaded by everyone everywhere. I ended up having to naval invade Cuba twice and used 9 generals  I'm still 3 off from besler. |

stoic, my theory of going all aggressive early and using militias and other basic units for generals is the way to go. That said, I am pissed that conquests aren't saved. Basically, I was almost done with the Cuban challenge quest, and me being a bit busy, went to go somewhere and left my phone with the game on. Neighbor's kid comes in, closes the game to play candy crush, I come back and get back to the game, and see the conquest gone. Not pissed at the kid, but ya know, an hour of my life wasted. I only have 2 SC of what happened.   Yeah, now that I'm free again, time to finish what I started, from scratch.

 Alright, that wasn't really hard, I was just bad at the first run. The trick was to defeat the confederates as fast as possible, and then go straight for Canada. Holding the Cuban capital is also a way to help the French in south America. |
