In this conquest game I'll list my basic strategy to get by and earn medals/ressources. This example is for 1943 India (medium 2 stars power) but it really applies to most/many country/year. I like India because even though it starts weaker than some of the other medium powers,it has 2 big advantages: 1/Secure location,you have plenty if time to prepare,no immediate threats. 2/Lot of neutrals/white cities and ressources near by. A quick note,1st problem is that in world conqueror 3 generals are really fragiles and if you only have the basic ones you really have to have a "plan" if you want them to survive.IE you cant just throw them in the fight and expect them to survive like you could in say European war 4. So the solution is simple and all my conquest games rely on this, use generals only on long range units.So generals only on the 2 long range artillery and on super tanks units,no other land units get a general.If I have a spare it would be ok to use on Navy/air.
What if playing a minor country there is no long range units to use generals on? Then do without generals untill you conquer an inwdustrial city to build such units because when you have weakling generals like I do it simply is not worth using them in any other way other than long range,they just cant fight close range:no hps.
My fairly crappy generals none of them have any kind of upgrades whatsoever.
My tech levels ok for 1939 or 1943 but need much more in the modern eras :
This is the achievement received for this conquest:
2 wonders unlocked in the same conquest game:
My best game so far (shortest number of turns to finish) playing a medium power:

Ok so the plan for India 1943 is to get us a decent economy by grabbing all the neutrals in the west.Following that we will conquer industrial cities in the far east and far west and use these cities to make huge amount of artillery so we end up having 2 fronts war one in the west against germany and one in the east against japan.
India: area A The entire region B needs to be conquered to strengten our economy and get the war plan into motion. We use rocket artillery if possible or else regular long range artillery is ok,in that way we conquer a lot if land without loosing units. There might be some random attack from someone but its easy to deal with threats at this point.
Now that we have conquered our neutral neighbors we will focus on winning 2 launch pads cities so we start harrasing both the germans and the and their allies. 1st the Eastern front,one of your allies cities circled in black should have fallen by now,good cause we want it. These are industrial cities level 2 so they are capable of producing long range artillery.So we reconquer either/both and we now are set for war in the east.If for some reasons the cities are still in allies hand then we need to go further east untill we find an industrial city lvl 2.
Now for the western objective, we should already have conquered the primary launch pad city since it belonged to a neutral.From here we can produce our usual long range artillery and go help the Russian,they dont take long to collapse against germany unless they get help rather quickly.
So that's it for the initial phase, we got us a decent economy and 2 strong bases on both side of the world conflict. Rest is now up to you!

My first game was 1939 germany but I had no real strategy at the time since I was still learning.
Next up:The next challenge will be 1960 playing as Iran,a 1 star country,the reward in ressources and medals is just too good to pass up. I will post the results and any tips I might have learned when I complete the game.I expect it to be very hard but fun conquest.

57 turns is very quick for non premium no pay play,specially for a non-major power.
Allies have too strong of an advantage when going for speed game.

Maybe India is the best minor country to play for that era. Close to both German fight and to Japan,so very good for fast game.

For Germany 1939, Goering is your most important general, defeat Poland and move him to Warsaw so he can launch air strikes on the Russians, as you have a large economy you'll destroy them with repetitive bombs, Move Guderian and Model into Moscow and retreat back to the West, Split your forces and invade Britain and Canada, Use Motorized Infantry to help Japan in SE Asia and Far East. Invading America is easy, Australia is hard, I used my navy to destroy them and kept dropping paratroopers. Easy 50 Medals

India is a good conquest choice for starter players that don't have very strong generals.

I just redid this conquest,I can confirm this is one of the easiest country for that era.So if you only have bad generals and not very good techs this is a good conquest. Having a money/steel wonder helps a lot too.

I have pretty good generals so I was able to capture Bangkok, Jakarta, Taipei and Manila before the neutrals were even taken over. Nice guide

I got ok generals now but I didn't when I first started and still managed to do this conquest,it doesn't overwhelm you right away.

This is just about the same tactic I kicked up when I played India that year. Great minds think alike then?
