How did you progress so fast? Did you farm conquest? Which one do you prioritize first, upgrading skills or Hp? I advance mostly through campaigns (both on normal and hard) and missions in Domination mode. That provides a player with plenty of medals. I definitely prefer upgrading skills at the start of the game, I see military ranks as a cherry on top of a pie, not as a pie itself  Just an example. I upgraded Bastico's Inspiration by 1 level. It costs only 100 medals. In return he fights almost always with increased moral. The same is with such skills as Rumor, PL and other important skills. It always does pay off! And your investment starts to make a profit immidietly.  |

It was just an attempt to see how do things work in challenge conquests, and things were great. For the first time in WC4 I was a witness of my allies invading India. And that is playing for the Axis. I am terrified to face it as an Allied state. I guess the rank was A because I haven't killed many units actually. The only thing I did was following the footsteps of big guys and taking that what they left carelessly. And I paid to neutral states (to all of them actually) to make a victory certain. |

Well yes, as such having elite units and very strong generals would only serve for the challenges of that turn, and perhaps for some country with an impossible start, as I already said in another post, a *Auto corrected*ing easy one-star country is Finland. |

At last our allies behave like real allies in WC4 conquests, not like complete morons They are actually trying to do something for the common cause. I hope they won't "improve" it in future updates. |

Day 9  And again change of plans. Usually I think it is a good thing to follow your plan strictly and without deviations. As they say in chess: "Even a bad plan is better than no plan at all". But it is also important to be flexible, because the situation changes rapidly and we shouldn't be too dogmatic with our plans. So, I was able to unlock all Wonders that increase the number of daily missions, including Great Wall. To build them is my priority number 1. Technologies won't go anywhere. Now I want to get the highest possible number of Invasions per day. |

Day 10 All buildings increasing the number of daily Invasions are constructed    Now, my top priority is to upgrade the most important skills of my generals. It is usually a nightmare of a new player to decide what and when to upgrade. I try to be more specific about my upgrades. We have 4 types of Invasions each day, and 4 generals are involved every single day in heavy fighting. My idea to upgrade their most important skills for Invasions, because if a skill is good for Invasions it is good for everything else. 1. Tanks. Since I already have Rommel it is foolish not to use his abilities. My Rommel has 4 good skills for Invasions: PL, AA, Crossfire, Blitzkrieg. Every single of these skills is worth upgrading but I will prioritize PL. It was one of the best skills when the game was just released, it is even more powerful now. 2. Artillery. Artillery Invasions may be a little bit tricky, because on later stages Artillery attacks without retaliation. So, AL for Konev is definitely a priority, but Rumor also extremely helpful, because sometimes it is possible to disable a powerful enemy general for 2 turns. So, AL and Rumor for Konev. 3. Infantry. The easiest type of Invasions. IL for Rundstedt should br more than enough. 4. Navy. Naval Invasions always were the toughest Invasions out of all types. The problem is to kill every unit on time, and that may be problematic if we face 5 3-stacked submarines. They also attack without retaliation, but in comparison to Artillery submarines have plenty of HP. So, I guess it is not that easy to defeat the toughest Naval Invasions without Wolfpack. So, FL, Wolfpack and Rumor for Mikava. |

That is a tricky part. Obviously at the start of the game we have limited resources, to put it mildly. So, we have a choice to upgrade our technologies or to invest in daily tasks. Early technologies till cold war are relatively cheap but after that we have very expensive upgrades. So, I upgraded majority of technologies before cold War, but now I am planning to get 7 tasks and increase rewards by 100%. I already unlocked all necessary Wanders. So, now I am planning to construct these Wonders:   |

stoic, will you get Vatutin? You got him in your first run years ago because he helped you winning GoG classic. (I got him too for that same reason, he deserves it )

Day 11. I unlocked Modern War and here it is where I stop for a while. It would be reckless to dive into it without a proper preparation. No problems, I still have hard mode Pacific war and Cold war to play. I even completed several challenge campaigns and, so far it is doable even with my newly assembled team.   |

I started it just to see the initial movements of troops. You know, first acquaintance. But then I could take a couple of unoccupied cities, then a couple more... Then I made one neutral state my ally, then two, then all of them. And voilà
