Given that I have 249 starts, that isn't the issue. Odd thing is, one game I went long, like 34 turns, and I think my resources were even a bit higher, with gold and food maxed out, and I got 500 years for Asia. It seems the formula for how this works is rather quirky. It might be your rank/nobility. What levels are they? 47 and 51 |

I finished again in 31 turns, but with close to 4,000 wrenches and I got Victoria. Still only 450 years in Asia, so the hurdle to get Lan must be significantly higher than Victoria.

Can't remember when I got Lan, but it was somewhere in the American campaigns- I think around 280 stars and around 48/52. |

Maybe America 1775 for a switch? Got Lan there on my third playthrough.

I got Victoria before Lan.
You need to get more campaign stars. I got her when i had 280 stars at the end of the eastern overlord campaign.

Can you clarify whether it is possible to win Sakurako in America 1775, playing as Britain?
I have 9999 gold, 9XXX wrenches, 8850 food, turn 62, and managed 450 years rule (and got Kate).
In campaign terms I have completed "Never Surrender" in the Coalition campaign and "Prussa Counterattack" in the Imperial Eagle campaign
Rank is level 48, 74328 points; nobility is level 58, 145652 points.
Rule in Europe, US, Asia is 550, 450 and 300 years respectively.

pathdoc Your food should be (insert "IT'S OVER 9,000!!!" meme here) at least 9,000. Maybe also complete a few more campaigns just in case.

I tried a little swap to bring my food well up into the 9000's; it didn't work. I'll have to go back and polish off a few more campaigns as you suggest. The funny thing is, I started this conquest just messing around - I figured "Oh, I'll just play as the British and establish a general strategy; no aggressive save/load, just muddle through." I even accidentally selected the wrong artillery general, because I'd been playing campaign a lot (where I can use all six) and forgot that I can't do that as Britain in conquest mode. So I just had to go with what I had. Lo and behold, Kate drops into my lap. I'm not complaining!!! If I make a serious fight of it, lots of S/L, bring my best generals in early, I reckon I can knock five or six turns off this at least - and now I have Kate, I'm in a better position to go clean up the lower right corner of the map. |

Hi pathdoc. It is possible to get Sakurako in the America 1775 campaign, but you need no more than 42 turns to get her. I would recommend that you go for America 1812 though playing as Britain. It's much faster there with fewer enemies but gaining resources is quite challenging. I was able to finish that campaign in 33 rounds where I won Sakurako. After a few more attempts in the same conquest I was able to finish it in 25 turns and I got Lan as well. You should get at least 8k food, 3k metal, and 8k gold. And make sure to tap/click "Challenge Asia." The strategy I used came from this link: european-war-4.boards.net/thread/583/strat-1812-gb |

Antonio Luna, Thanks for that information. I was actually pleasantly surprised to get Kate taking as many turns as I did, but as I said... not complaining. The strategy you linked to is for players with no generals; given that I have a good cavalry general (Dumouriez) and two artillerists (including Sophia), I should be able to do very well.

I do recommend that you save up during the first four or five turns to spawn Dumouriez on the northwestern stables where Barclay will be attacking. He kinda moves quick so I suggest you corner him with the available inf and arty while waiting for Dumo. There is also a double formation central artillery at the middle part. You can use that arty with Sophia and then rush Fort Dearborn. You may also use one frigate to assist while Elphinstone goes up to kill that younger brother of Cisnero and Cronstedt commanding the ship to the northwest. Brock should rush Washington and attempt to steal it from Cornplanter's assault. You may also spawn your second arty gen in one of the eastern factories to assist Brock. The enemy navy would be troublesome so you might want to capture a port by turn 12 or so. Also ignore forts at the start. Let grenadiers do housekeeping. Tell us once you get Sakurako.  |

Antonio Luna, Thanks for the tactical hints; I'll have another look at them once I've seen the ground for myself and got it straight in my head where everyone is. One thing I noticed in the battle that got me Kate is that the Indians do quite well with high level support; they start low and weak, but if you can save them from being bounced by major powers (e.g. by US and Russia - COLLUSION!!!) at the very start, they get good fast and carry quite a bit of the load in midgame.

Really? They do attempt to attack during the midgame phase but they don't bring too much to the fight for them to be considered to have carried the game. Also, WATCH OUT FOR THE FRENCH & BARCLAY! These 2 opponents will challenge you on both inland and coastal regions. Keep spawning cav to beat Barclay. Soon, the French attacks! Fall back to Sidney, or hold Providence and spawn 1X OR 2X guards to hold them off. Those Frenchies are the worst. |

They don't carry the game by any means, but once they've had a chance to build up they do provide a welcome distraction - I found they kept enough regular US units off my back to be worthwhile. It's one more thing that the part of the AI dealing with the US and Russian forces has to worry about, and they also sometimes capture enemy cities when I don't have enough mobile units left to do it. And while this is a pain from the POV of getting extra resources, it at least means one less city or port in the enemy's possession. When you're trying to finish a battle in the shortest time available, that sort of thing can save you turns.
