Finally got the last two last night, after pushing my campaign stars up to 248 and reloading a couple of saves in US '75 and HRE '98.  So now what?I don't have to grind any more campaign stars unless I really, really want to. I don't ever have to speedrun again (assuming I don't have another game crash). The only thing I really have to do is build up my two new girls. BUT FOR WHAT? Having all the princesses is going to change the way I approach this game (yes, I bought the extra slots to keep them all and have a trainer space). The pressure to do ANYTHING is now off, and I can just fool around and do whatever I want. I can take my time over the campaign missions, since I really don't need five-star wins any more. Hell, even if I lost on time, I could just have fun trying to conquer the map by inches. I can do all the maps and play nations I've never played before, no longer bothered by thoughts of "One day you will have to go back and do the speedrun to get X". Hell, I can take my time to max all eight princesses out on all stars if I want to! What else is there to do with my medals, after all??  I AM FINALLY FREE!!!!! |

Actually, speaking of speedruns, it just occurred to me that the first thing I should do is play US 1775 again. First concentrate on starving Britain out quickly using Isabella (since she has Geography and won't be needed on artillery, so she can take a light cav and two saddles), and make that a save state. Then I can load in Vicky and Lan on double guards Inf and Cav units once I have enough resources for it, and let them take their sweet time going around and pulverizing everything.
Let Britain spam as many forts as it wants in the meantime, then when they've taken out the trash in the south and west, they can come back around and farm rank and medals.

You're better than me there lmao the moment I stop finding something to grind for I lose interest. Exactly why I haven't done another HRE 1798 for Victoria, more fun spending money and trying out the likes of Lannes and Murat for me xD |

I certainly would have tried out some Level 2 generals. |

And even if I do I'd be more mad about the time I put into the game lmao; money is money to me |

And the touch screen makes it easier. Still, now that I have established a firm set of conditions that MUST win me the super-princesses, it will be easier (at least in psychological terms) to do it again if the worst should happen. |

This is where the fun really starts！ A full set of princess generals in the field let's you crush the opposition at every level. For the campaigns, you can let Fatima do the economic work, though it's occasionally fun to stick her on a coastal cannon on some scenarios and get some truly mind boggling damage outputs that let her War Master ability really shine.
My feeling is that you're better off buying items vs. training. It can get a little tedious switching items in and out, but as far as I can tell just doing it this way works out almost perfectly in terms of total medals won and buying all the items you want.
After you finish all the campaigns, you can trade in some items (always using Austerlitz Aleksander to sell) for the Nobility and Rank items, then play out the conquests to grind. Even this way will take all the conquests to rank up everyone, though Lan Sakura Sophia and Isabella will get there pretty quick.
Then with all the campaigns and conquests complete, you just wait a few months and delete and restart.
I actually tried some of the other easytech games and after a week or two always ended up back here.
Fall of Empire is still my favorite scenario, I love putting down maxed out generals and eviscerating the Russians.

littlecorporal , it took me EIGHT YEARS and two forced restarts to get where I am now (I put the game down for some periods of time, distracted by other things). With all due respect, there is NO WAY IN HELL I am resetting. In addition to finally having all eight princesses, I have more items than item slots to put them in. Who needs Alexander in Austerlitz when I have both Lan and Fatimah at 5 stars and can just go to the first battle in each of Coalition or France and use a campaign shop there? I have Sophia, Fatima, Maria and Sakurako at 150/10 and Isabella very close, Kate at 98/10. Once I get Lan and Vicky toughened up a bit more so that they can roll with the punches, the AI is going to be begging for death!

Once I get Lan and Vicky toughened up a bit more so that they can roll with the punches, the AI is going to be begging for death! Now I understand! I still have my second run saved on an old cell phone. I didn't max out all the stars, only on their relevant abilities. 8 Princesses + Golitsyn, Ushakov, and Scharnhorst. I don't think any of them got to 150/10. It's very hard to do. On my 3rd playthrough I just did free to play with 4 slots. I tried for the Princesses as soon as possible, but only did two conquests, France 1798 and US 1776. After finishing the campaigns, I did the remaining conquests with the rank items. Even after completing max flags for the conquests, Victoria didn't have max rank and Isabela didn't max out nobility. Getting 8 generals there is some serious grinding. |

littlecorporal, I don't think I could ever play it on a phone. I do actually have it installed on my phone, but this is just so that I can look at the maps and units for writing guides if I don't have the tablet or my laptop with me. I really like playing conquests starting as smaller nations and conquering the whole map, or larger ones and turning then betraying my major allies. When the AI starts spamming forts, that's when my Princesses really do their nobility farming.

Yesterday I had a 14 hour flight and was all set to finish the Eastern Overlord Campaign only to discover that my phone charger didn't work. It was a very boring fight, though I got to watch Everything Everywhere All at Once twice because I couldn't understand it the first time. Lol |
