A little something I noticed when playing conquest 1950. First I tried playing as Mongolia(WTO), and I just did nothing. By turn 22, Poland and USSR had nothing but a few bunkers and land forts facing a massive swarm of NATO forces, while China was on the defensive with Britain/America coming from the south and Japan from the east. Then I tried playing as Mexico(NATO) and once again did nothing except defend against Cuba. This time, by turn 11, Japan had been overrun by China and USSR forces could be seen approaching Scotland and swarming Western Europe. Allied AI seems to be trash in comparison to enemy AI. Yes,it's not a coincidence or a bug,it's a feature of Easytech gaming,whatever side you pick: All you friends are brain dead,all your enemies are on steroids I could also add: "and all of your bases are belong to us!!!"  k guys,this thread has been stickied,since it is gathering lots of view,it is a help thread on the better conquests.
Please keep all help threads as much as possible related to their subject. Thanks |

I guess this feature is designed for preventing a player from winning a conquest just by picking the right side. In EW4, when I play a small country, my allies sometimes effectively win the war before I finish building good units for all my generals. I like the feature but at the same time, I feel the enemy's advantage is a bit too much. |

In this game you often want your allies just as dead as your enemies Nothing boils your blood more than an ally stealing your hard won enemy city you just fought,or not making use of the only missile/nuke city in the area that you could use to win the game twice as fast! |

Romania 1939
Axis Advantage
Is good trainer wheels, however, it does not yield a lot of loot or be completed quickly.
Here is how (about 40 turns)
1.Put generals with good movement/armored on tanks and send them to take Soviet cities. Don't forget to follow up with armored cars. Turns 1-15
2. After having conquered the Soviet Union, spam armor and motorized infantry to help the Japanese conquer China and India. Go down to Australia and Port Moresby and start sending troops and warships to attack the US. Turns 16-30
3. Conquer LA and use paratroopers to take over the US and Canada. Turns 31-40
Win
Tips:
1. When starting, DO NOT attack Sevastopol with tanks. Instead, spam field artillery. Also, ignore Yugoslavia and Greece. Those countries are usually taken out quickly.
2. Use paratroopers+bombers to take Manila, Singapore, Jakarta, or just mass your paratroopers in a small area before assaulting. At this point, you should send motorized and armor to Africa if the Egyptians and British are posing a problem. Usually Italy or Spain should have defeated the Egyptians.
3. Brisbane is hard to capture. The field artillery is hard to beat, and your best bet is to lay siege with land forts and send naval units to destroy it.
4. The US usually falls apart quickly, but your allies should be in New York as you take Canada through the West.
Note: I have never tried sending troops through West Europe, but as Finland I did that and ended in a similar amount of time.

No love for Hungary, 1939? That nation virtually has the words "Get Rekt" as its national motto. You can dominate Yugoslavia and Greece easily, then you can move your troops to the SU. How do you beat them up? Kill their generals of course! Take out their rocket generals and attack the southern section of the SU. Once you take Moscow, everything's pretty easy.
Italy 1943 is also really good for 1943, as with India.
I actually never recommend playing as Germany, since you either have too many fronts (I.e 1939), have to deal with three beasts (SU, GB and U.S. in 1943) or get absolutely Rekt by the soviet and polish steamroller in 1960.

For 1939, I use Japan(get the weak ROC and attack Soviets on the back), and UK(cities everywhere),Spain(even win by auto!) and Finland(also attack the Soviets which has little troops).
1943:Germany(very rich, super tank, missile), Soviets(easy to finish Germany after getting the eastern Germany done), ROC(support Soviets and steal Kiev and Minsk, then same as soviets) and Egypt(get the Middle east, then the same as ROC).
1950:France,Spain, Belgium(get Zurich and the cities that Badoglio,Leeb and Bock stay,then Budapest, then Krakow, and all Soviet cities with nuclear or missiles, use atomic bomb and paratroopers to get all the cities after that).
1960:PRC(nuclear bomb, weak enemy besides,steal Ankara to march on Europe), Italy (weak enemy besides,attack Barkans, match on Kiev) and Iran(nuclear bomb, super tank, steal Ankara).
If you are using, axis or WTO, DO NOT FORGET there is a city called BRISBANE.

The absolute WORST is playing Axis, 1939. They have an artillery general there, meaning that even if you use battleships or artillery, you're still going to take huge casualties.

Germany in 1960 was insanely fun, however it gets the brunt of the attack as it borders the WTO. I would advise everyone to make good use of Berlin's nuclear capabilities as well as spacing out the use of you're generals as it is a grueling conquest yet satisfying as you watch the entire WTO turn grey. I would also advice to not attempt until you're generals are extremely skilled (I had Rommel and my personal favorite Guderian) I recommend going for Budapest first in order to knock out Serbia in the first 2-3 turns. Use Nukes on Russian generals, prioritize Rokossovsky, Zhukov, Vatutin, And Timoshenko. Eventually you're European allies may be able to bring support, count on Spain and Portugal to help out in later rounds as well as British paratroopers and Nukes, and even Italian assistance as well. In my game Iran became quite powerful on their own and spammed paratroopers so do not sleep in them. It all ended with a grueling campaign into China in which I spent at least 8 turns trying to take chongking in order to garner air support. After this I was able to easily take the rest of Asia with plenty of nukes and Money to find air strikes. Above all else however, BE AGGRESSIVE, this will allow a quick strike into Poland using Manstein that can severely weaken Poland leaving Russia alone in Northern Europe and the Bulgaria and Romania too busy with Italian and French forces

For 1939 and 1943, Finland would be my choice. Here are the reasons why. 1. 1 star country, maximum rewards for the era 2. Russia ignores you 3. If you can take down Moscow first followed by the reminding Russian owned major cities in Europe, Germany will clean up the rest of Europe for you. 4. Little to no resistance against you, your enemies would all be in Central Europe 5. Generals not needed, beginner friendly?  |

I chose Norway for 1939. Extremely easy. Finland only takes about 5 turns to conquer (I used Guderian, and Rommel as my start generals on light tanks) and then I moved them to Riga and from there I caught Germany off guard eliminating their advance on Poland I swung towards Berlin built heavy tanks and I put my eye covered tank general there built 2 rocket artillary placed both my artillery commanders there. Took back the Netherlands, Belgium and Paris. Defeated Spain and italy along with Hungary, and those small axis nations and voila only Japan left. I liked this because the larger countries like england Russia and USA are HELPFUL whoa. Dunno if anyone posted on this already if they did sorry ^~^

Japan 1939 was my first conquest. I only had Meyer at the time. It was extremely easy. Just have Yamashita and The guy with glasses attack Mongolia and the rear ROC, while the rest of your generals face the ROC frontline. Yamashita is very very useful due to the movement stars, so conquering the spread out cities of Russia is very easy. You also have generals primed for invading Alaska, then Vancouver and the west coast. Now I'm doing 1 star 1960. I grow up so fast  |

IMO, UK is terrible. You'd be spreading your forces too thinly and is a HUGE risk. Always trysmaller countries that are easier to manage, profits don't matter. Just don't stop growing one of my faves per era: 1939-Finland, 1943-Thailand, 1950-Iran, 1960-Egypt

1943 Germany is easy, just fight one side at a time. prioritize GB and Africa, keep a defensive line in Riga, Minsk, and Kiev. once the brits are gone, the bolsheviks are easy pickings as their generals smashed agains your defense and are most likely gone.
