Disclaimer 1: This is my personal opinion
Disclaimer 2: This pathway will probably take longer to finish than it takes to finish all campaigns, challenges, and earn all possible medals from conquests. It will also cost more medals than can be earned without wonders
Disclaimer 3: This is hypothetical, I haven't gone through it yet
The mod brings in 2 changes that make the original pathways obsolete: Super Generals and free IAP generals. Now we need new pathways.
Given the usual absence of a 3rd top-grade Artillery General, we have numerous pathways
Universal first step:
Manstein, Zhukov, and Eisenhower to 80 lives
Pathway group 1, for the confident:
1. Manstein to 170 lives
2. Super Lin B
3. Super Manstein or Super Guderian
4. Eisenhower to 170 lives
If you want to use Zhukov as Artillery General #3, follow steps for Pathway A. If not, skip to steps for pathways B-E
Pathway A:
5. Zhukov to 170 lives
6. Super Govorov
7. Manstein to 280 lives
8. Super Manstein if you didn't buy him; Super Patton, Super Guderian, or Super Montgomery if you did
9. Zhukov to 280 lives
10. Eisenhower to 280 lives
Pathways B-D:
5. Super Govorov
6. Manstein to 280 lives
7. Super Manstein if you didn't buy him; Super Patton, Super Guderian, or Super Montgomery if you did
If you want to use Normal Manstein as Artillery, follow steps for pathway B. If you want to make Eyes-Covered for #3 artillery, follow steps for pathway C. If you want to use Konev or normal Govorov for Artillery, follow steps for pathway D
Pathway B:
8. Another of Super Patton, Super Guderian, and Super Montgomery or Eyes-Covered with: Explosive+Plain Fighting+Ace Forces+Tide of Iron+Blitzkrieg
9. Eisenhower to 280 lives
Pathway C:
8. Eisenhower to 280 lives. Optional: Zhukov to 170 lives
9. Make Eyes-Covered. Skills are: Ace Forces+Artillery Leader+Artillery Barrage+Explosives+Plain fighting. You can build him gradually, or all at once. Eisenhower, Manstein and Zhukov can pitch in to cover while he's under construction
Pathway D:
8. Konev/Normal Govorov
9. Govorov to 170 lives if you bought him
10. Eisenhower and Govorov/Konev to 280 lives
Pathway Group 2, for the less confident or Noobish who cannot save 5330 medals straight for Super Lin B:
1. Manstein to 140 lives
If you want to use Konev or normal Govorov as #3 artillery, follow path E. Otherwise, follow paths F-H
Path E:
2. Normal Govorov or Konev
3. Super Manstein
4. Govorov (if you bought him) to 170 lives
5. Super Lin B
6. Manstein and Eisenhower to 170 lives
7. Super Patton, Super Guderian, or Super Montgomery
8. Super Govorov
9. Manstein, Eisenhower, and Govorov/Konev to 280 lives
Note: This is path D, executed in a different order to make it easier
Paths F-H
2. Bai C.X.
3. Super Manstein
4. Super Lin B
5. Super Patton, Super Guderian, or Super Montgomery
6. Manstein and Eisenhower to 170 lives
If you want Zhukov as #3 artillery, follow steps for Path F. If not, follow steps for paths G-H
Path F:
7. Zhukov to 170 lives
8. Super Govorov, sell Bai C.X.
9. Manstein, Eisenhower, and Zhukov to 280 lives
Paths G-H:
7. Super Govorov
8. Manstein to 280 lives
If you want to use Manstein as Artillery, follow path G. If you want to use an Eyes-Covered as Artillery, follow path H.
Path G:
9. Another of Super Patton, Super Guderian, and Super Montgomery or Eyes-Covered with: Explosive+Plain Fighting+Ace Forces+Tide of Iron+Blitzkrieg
10. Eisenhower to 280 lives
Path H:
9. Eisenhower to 280 lives. Optional: Zhukov to 170 lives
10. Make Eyes-Covered. Skills are: Ace Forces+Artillery Leader+Artillery Barrage+Explosives+Plain fighting. You can build him gradually, or all at once. Eisenhower, Manstein and Zhukov can pitch in to cover while he's under construction
Pathways A and F lead to the same lineup
Pathways B and G lead to the same lineup
Pathways C and H lead to the same lineup
Pathways D and E lead to the same lineup, and ultimately cost the same
Notes:
Ion Cannon is optional
Don't go wild on techs, since you need the medal wonders. Upgrading Artillery, Air, and Tank is a must. Some Upgrades to missiles, supply, infantry, and anti-air are allowed.
Christ the Redeemer wonder is a must. You can build any wonder that doesn't require industry. Germany and ROC are easy for both a resource boost and the lesser 2 medal wonders.
This is all true as of Version 1.2.2 of the mod. 1.2.3 might make things different.
Pathway choice is about your skill and play style, not what others do
