Every time I need a guide, the people giving walkthroughs always assume you have the best generals and princesses and such. I find conquest to be super boring so I don't have the patience to get the princesses, and microtransactions in this game are a bit pricier than most and I'm trying to see how far I can get without having to use them. So a lot of the time a guide will be like "First, move your 5 star artillery general over here" while I don't even have an artillery general. Why do you guys assume everyone just bought shields for the best generals like you guys? It kind of defeats the purpose of the guide. I have a pretty good cav general but that's just cause I've used him a lot, and a mediocre infantry general that has been used a bit less. So guides boil down to someone suggesting Golitsyn or Moreau and then I just have to leave the guide :/

Golytsin doesnt cost emblems.... I have to agree with you that in app purchases are quite costly, I havent used any but have made considerable progress in this game. There are lots of good and cheap generals ot there like Dumouriez or Kutaisov. Rushing is certainly boring business but its just a part of playing this game. People assume you have good generals when you are quite progressed in campaign. I dont think anybody made a guide on battle of Austerlitz with Lan, Isabela, Suvorov, Lassalle and Sophia And btw welcone to our forum.  |

"I find conquest to be super boring so I don't have the patience to get the princesses."
Don't forget... patience is needed to go far in EW4 (or pretty much any Easytech games in general). So what you just had said is that you're not willing to farm (sort of). Even if you don't want to get a princess, you still will have to farm in order to earn enough medals for buying generals that can raise stars for your best generals. You also still will have to raise the rank and nobility of your best generals (princesses or no princesses). Other than repetitive farming in campaigns, the only way to get rank, nobility, & medals to advance further in the game is playing conquests (not necessarily to aim for princesses, just getting rank, nobility, & medals that you need anyway).
By the way, there's a good section of Conquest Guides for people who doesn't have a strong team of generals in the list of Conquest Guides, scroll down to it, you will find it.

Most generals can be substituted to some extent- for example Isabella with Scharnhorst. Might take more time, but still doable. |

With cavalry and infantry general available, it should be pretty easy for you to get Sophia - I managed to get her without any starting generals, just bought one from tavern. She is very useful as artillery general. |

So guides boil down to someone suggesting Golitsyn or Moreau and then I just have to leave the guide :/ At higher campaign levels you should have a good general like Golitsyn. And if you don't have the patience for a conquest then you might as well delete the game. Conquest is half of the game and if you want to progress in the campaign it becomes a necessity. Lan and Victoria are the best generals in the game. Sophia can be earned with any 5 star country. Moreau is easily replaced by Isabella. And nobody is going to say "Buy Moreau" unless the person says he has emblems. |

I'm on Never Surrender and Coalition Disruption Good luck on the latter- it's a nightmare. I don't think there's an HRE mission tougher than that one. The priority really is to get a good artillery general- doesn't necessarily have to be a princess. Use that on the Brits along with the infantry general. Cavalry guy plus Grouchy take and hold Frankfurt. Grind the enemy slowly in Holland, and eventually, you'll get an opening to burst through the Prussian lines with your cavalry general. Even if he can't finish off the job on his own (quite likely), it'll allow you to break the line at other points and pour infantry and artillery through the gaps. |

Thanks for the advice, may have to buy an artillery general and my options are Suchet and Moreau, which is better? |

Anyway: Moreau if you really oppose going for Princesses, refresh again otherwise. Princess Isabela is almost as good as Moreau, so I don't like him. Savary is better than Suchet, so Suchet can be crossed out |

If you want to get an emblem artillery, either Nelson or Davout depends on your favor on s/l. |

Savary is better than Suchet, so Suchet can be crossed out I honestly can't be bothered to grind, and I just got paid for something lol, so I figured I could afford to drop five dollars on this game.  |
