Oops I just seen this kanue post in another thread,this is what I needed,some sort of a plan to follow.I will try this. Has anyone else used a different tactic or countries for fast games? Gratz. Here's what I did (but i guess you probably don't need it anymore). I used 2 cavalry and 1 artillery generals. Lan commanded the heavy cavalry unit that is available near Munich right at the beginning. I didn't wait for a better unit because I wanted her operate right from round 1. She moved toward Spain captured towns (Lyon, stable next to Marseilles, Barcelona, Zaragoza, Madrid, Seville) along the way. From these towns, I spawned troops to attack everything nearby. I had Ney commanded heavy cavalry unit near Poland (also available at the start) and attack Ottoman Empire. My last general was Isabela. She took heavy artillery unit (the one next to Archduke C) to attack Italy and fight Napoleon. I also trained Isabela to have 5 stars in trading so after she killed Napolean and mopped up enemy troops in Mediterranean, I had her go to Bordeaux and stand by for trading resources. I normally have my gold reach 9999 around round 25++ so I traded all surplus gold for hammer. |

I haven't done a super fast conquest either.I though Pug said a while ago France was a possbility too but I think it might have been to get Isabella not Lan or Victoria.

On the conquest that I got Lan, I used similar strategy as above but with Sakurako on cavalry going to Spain, Sophia to Italy, and Isabela to Ottoman (which is mountainous). They're about lv 6-8 in rank. |

When I received Victoria I was using 2 artillery generals and 1 cavalry. I used Maraue, Isabella and Lassale. So the strategy was more or less the same as kanue described. Lassale was moving towards Spain through France. Isabella was fighting in Italy. The only difference is that I was waiting for the possibility to purchase double armored car in the stable (which You need to upgrade once) near french border and assigned Lassale to it. You will be able to do that by turn 4. And Lassale will act starting turn 5. It makes it easier to defeat Spain with armored car. But You are losing several turns before cavalry general starts fighting. So I think that strategy described by kanue is more reliable. |

I followed kanue strategy and it definitively works in speed play but I wasnt able to break the 850 years barrier. Bah..close but no dice.  And that was with burning a few heals too. |

4300 metal is a lot,this save game might work with more campaign stars maybe?
1 less turn would have won Victoria!
