Hi everyone!
Thanks again to the community and its moderators for all your advice and guides!
I have hit the final stage (and remained F2P), where everything is beaten/completed (Campaigns, story missions, max tech except ion cannon, operations) EXCEPT for the WTO countries and 1 NATO country (South Korea) for Challenge Conquest 1960.
My final set of questions are this:
1) What is your recommended route for playing as Mongolia or North Korea in Challenge Conquest 1960?
2) For the European WTO countries such as Hungary, what is your recommended route to keep all your Tank/Artillery EC and other generals alive? Often using air generals in any major city such as Berlin/Rome means instant death. Tank generals on super tanks are guaranteed to get nuked and disappear in 2-3 turns. I have resorted to using tank generals (Guderian, EC) on heavy tanks to ensure they survive past 20 rounds while abusing Expropriation level 2~ Unfortunately by the time France and Berlin fall, Spain and Italy and Portugal's generals come in and my generals are all left with a sliver of health!
3) For South Korea, what do you recommend in terms of priority? USSR/China will nuke 1 of your generals every 2 turns!
Thanks again!!

For number 2, if you mean surviving the initial nukes, just speed your way to Ankara while taking any neutral and nato cities along the path to keep you from defeat if Budapest falls early, areas between the longitudes that Ankara and Stalingrad are in should be safe for your super tank and rocket generals to travel into Middle East.
As for surviving the whole game, I used to know a list of estimated “nuke free” zones (zones around missile-capable cities that enemies are less likely to nuke you even if your generals stepped in on super tanks and rockets) but kinda forget them after I started focusing on playing WC4. Alternatively, I would attack nato cities with normal troops and only send generals in to mopping up remnants after taking down all nuke capable cities guarding the target area.

Thank you very much Resi!
I always was focused on rushing Germany and France which eventually wore out all my troops. So after I rush Ankara, what do you mainly build for "normal troops". Howitzers? Motor Infantry? Rockets?

Motor Infantry? Rockets? Super tanks (Istanbul has Lv4 Factory), Rockets or Field Artilleries (Howitzers in WC4) are the backbone, while infantries are for city guard duties, paradrop capturing and attacking isolated low level cities. My path for playing as European and Middle East WTO and India is mostly Saudi Arab > Africa > South America > Mexico & Cuba > North America > UK & Japan > Mainland Europe, the reason of the great detour is that UK appears to be uninterested in nuking enemies approaching from its West (crawling along the upper map border is also feasible in Russia’s case but areas around Oslos attract nukes). As for attack on Australia, Saudi, Brazil or India (when playing as India) are valid starting point of your assault at any time, just take caution when moving under Midway and Hawaii (USA may nuke enemies approached from SE and SW). |

Thanks Resi!
Your plan to rush Ankara and then to sweep Africa and Brazil worked perfectly! Europe was held with an army of howitzers while our Super Tank Tank EC swept Africa to Brazil!
I know you're focused on WC4 (As I am as well!), but I wanted to ask my final question. The last country I need to win with out of all the countries in all the challenge conquest eras is Cuba 1960. Have you ever won with Cuba in Challenge Conquest 1960? The route is trickier here in my opinion. It almost feels like rushing Washington and New York is the only way to win here but it'll require a bit of RNG.
Happy New Year as well!

Actually I did won 1960 Cuba Challenge twice, the first one was started with rushing Washington and New York but the second one was started with blitz-ing Brazil instead, and starting from Brazil makes progression a bit faster (shorter front spares more generals for Africa conquest), through babysitting USSR’s Haiti base is quite a pain (you wouldn’t want NATO, USA in particular, got hold of its missiles). The procedure is similar to the one used by Balkan WTOs, the only difference is that you will go Brazil > Africa > Middle East > Mexico & Cuba instead of the usual Middle East > Africa > Brazil > Mexico & Cuba. My lineup are Tank EC, 2x Artillery ECs, Guderian, Air Force build Sikorski, Goring and Air Force build Patton (1st run)/ Bittrich (2nd run), all Air Force generals are using Air + Combo medals for extra range while all non-air force build generals use Assault + Legion medals for extended operation outside cities. |

A supplement to my previous comment: 1) Unlike the Balkan WTOs, your original base is still needed for holding of several waves of USA attacks and protecting USSR’s Haiti base (it can at best holding the ground for only 3 turns) so don’t ditch it too soon. 2) The Cuban general needs to stay on Cuba to take over Havana when Goring lost too much health. 3) Sikorski is not urgent in the first few turn, you can deploy him as late as you conquer Rio. |

Thanks a bunch Resi! I can confidently assert that I completed Cuba 1960 Challenge Conquest via the New York-Washington route you recommended. With that, that concludes the game as I have 100% completed everything. Thanks again for taking the time to write out the multiple routes you take for Cuba, and for the WTO Balkans countries. And thank you to the rest of the moderators and community members who took the time to guide me on this journey to the end! See you in World Conqueror 4 (For this month's update)!  This forum is now concluded! |
