Look up a guide or two for France. It's really easy once you understand what to go after.
My strategy
1: Us the cavalry and infantry unit in the middle of France to flank into Ireland. Use ships to cover their landing. England's easy after that. Just don't go straight into London, cause that's death.
2: Send...whats his name. It's a cav gen on guard cav. Send him to Spain. Portugal is a pain to deal with, but he can easily deal with them.
3: Send Napoleon down to Sardinia, then Naples, and up into HRE if you're fast enough.
4: Use the arty gen in southern France to deal with HRE for a bit, then support them with your northern troops at some point.
5: Use your 3-4 infantry gens up north to slaughter the HRE, sending Jourdan into Sweden, then northern Russia. Try to go for Berlin first, and hope Dobeln is dead. Push from Berlin.
6: Kill Russia.
Things you need to do along the way
1: Upgrade factories and cities until turn 20-ish. This sin't for epic princesses, so it's ok if you go until turn 22 or something. It's just that the payoff ends around there. This takes priority though until then. DO NOT CREATE UNITS UNLESS IT'S ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY! Start producing some double guards after Berlin. Not a ludicrous amount, though.
2: Pay attention to your allies. Move your gens/units accordingly.

No offense but that list was totally unnecessary, I am probably never going to repeat that conquest. Are you asking me to send my generals in isolated though? I am very peevish about that and it just screams easy kill for an alone general. Just out of curiosity ,what is the point in quoting other people? It just seems a waste of time.

France is rather easy, but Russia and Portugal might be painful. That's why we recommend HRE for rushing. Your generals and some strong pre-placed general can go buy him/herself with normal units. For example for HRE, Rosenberg and Hotze will handle Poland and Denmark by only themselves and a few normal units, and Archduke Charles if you are sending him to Italy. The point of quoting people is just to let them know someone spoke something that has to do with you or you are talking about. |

Erich von Manstein: he's a beginner. Rushing is in the distant future theguy: decent generals can handle normal troops with little to no support. They're only Easy Kills if they are low-health

What I mean is that without other units it can take TONS of turns to take a city just with one unit, even a general. Also I have been playing EW4 for about a year so you can't exactly call me a noob. But my military policy is, to plan huge, well coordinated attacks that play out perfectly. Not just some random rush byone or two units in the heart of enemy territory. Sorry but the idea just doesn't click. But on a happier note, can you give me advice on how to beat a reccomended conquest, Britain 1775. Thx

Nah, I don't recommend 1775 GB at all, US is awesome. Starve GB, focus your main power on others, use militia.

Sorry but the idea just doesn't click. But on a happier note, can you give me advice on how to beat a reccomended conquest, Britain 1775. Thx 1. This is EW4. A city is only as the unit in it (plus evasion). Unless it's a high-health unit in a high-level city (or a general) a midlevel general with 1-2 other units should do it. 2. Given your conquest record, you are at beginner levels, even if you have played for a while 3. Organized attacks take too many resources and time for earning a princess 4. GB 1775: 1 Artillery gen+Clinton to Russia, everything else just steamrolls South |

Does anybody know who pasha is? the cute but pathetic guy with the white beard? I know that pasha was very common in Ottoman turkey. so I wonder if he was based on a particular pasha, or is the personification of the officer class.
Same goes for Agha, apparently. anyway, has anyone tried getting LAN from 1812 conquest? I think it could be done if she shows up there, but I have not completed my attempt yet.

Pasha should be Mustafa Pasha, the Egyptian general who got rekt by Napoleon in Abukir. Agha... Omar Agha? Lan for 1812, no doubt GB, but I prefer 1775 US more. |

Is 1775 when The "Coalition" has already landed on America or are they at sea ( Hessen Dutch Etc ) |

But nah, Dutch is on US side, and Hessen will be crashed by Washington any time he wants. |

But nah, Dutch is on US side, and Hessen will be crashed by Washington any time he wants. Hessen are only only truly a threat when not playing as America. Otherwise, just kill the general that charges towards you and that's it. They're dead. The Dutch are also a big help, especially with the naval half of this conflict. Most enemy European nations aren't a threat, anyways. Kill them as fast as possible, that's all. What i think this boils down to is generals. Any general, good or bad, makes us take things a little more cautiously. Even without good abilities or health, they still tend to slow you down just enough to screw over the speed run:P Napoleon is the best example of this... |

I was looking through my general's skills and he had two stars in mobility, I realized that I have no clue what mobility does! Does anyone know?

That's your movement. It takes 3 movement to cross a tile of plains and varying amounts for the rest (infantry is 3 for all tiles but sea). Look at a units stats to determine its base movement.

What I meant to ask was the General's mobility. The pair of legs at the bottom of his star chart, what does that do exactly?
