Most of us would've played a conquest in our early noob season when trying out new EasyTech games. I played Europe 1815 in EW4 when I've never regrouped anyone of my 4 gens.
Taking France itself took about 30? Maybe 40+ turns?
Still haven't won it.
Or maybe playing too badly as ROC in WC3's 1939 conquest, allowing the Nazis to take Europe and start to beat the Americas.
What's your story?

I somehow decided that playing as Saxony was a great idea in EW4 before I got a general.
I was wrong.
But that's before I found the forum.

Once upon a time, I decided that playing Egypt 1815 in European War 4 without any generals was a good idea. Needless to say, I failed pretty horribly. (But then I did it with Tripolitania and won, so I don't know how that worked.)

(But then I did it with Tripolitania and won, so I don't know how that worked.) I think that was actually my first EW4 conquest. Can't say for certain I finished it, but I gained most of the map. Just took about a million turns  Mod Example: Playing Wilhuff Tarkin Empires Mod. Had all 3 IAPs as major general and improved De Gaulle. Was trying to defeat Roman Empire , which covered most of Europe plus Mediterranean in 1960 conquest but with first conquest map/units if that makes any sense. Super OP country. Consider that when playing as one of its few European allies it can advance on Hawaii from both directions by the time you do (though earlier version and I probably had less generals back then) Trying to beat it with progressively smaller/closer countries, succeeded as USA. So this time I do Soviet Union, and use vanilla game strategy from forum. That is, also attack Japan in certain way. I lost without even knocking out Japan in China (though it was cool how Stalingrad survived a super long time) I tried it again, this time focusing almost all generals on taking out Japan as a more defensible base. Am winning now, even kept Moscow out of the entire west but not Stalingrad  Edit: I had already completed like 90% of the base game, so this isn't entirely a story of inexperience but rather conquest that legit went very wrong for understandable reasons. |

Anytime I play as Algeria or Tripoli and it takes me 35 turns to gain a good economy, then I take a look at Europe and my half dead allies getting swarmed by a hundred militia units.

When winning the War in Europe and Africa then your looking at an entire paratroopers army in Asia. Then the War is lost

Then the War is lost that has happened to me but all you do is use a anti matter bomb and it happened on the sea with hundred of landing troops but in that scenario use Eisenhower on a aircraft carrier |

I attempted Spain on 1943, thinking it would be more or less the same like 1939 Spain, which I found hard at the time but still doable. This time, Spain doesn't have as many opportunities to expand so I'm stuck on my island scrambling to get Portugal, when the American invasion arrives. This time, due to not expanding at all, I have little resources to fight the Americans, so I decide to escape to Africa like I wanted to on my original plan and start moving all my troops down. I manage to claim a couple of African cities, but the Americans chase me down there, conquer all of Spain, and wipe out the last of my cities. I was forced out of my homeland, chased down in my escape attempt, and obliterated as well. I later took revenge, of course, this time playing as Germoney, but the humiliation stays there.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention what makes 1943 Spain infinitely harder than 1939 Spain: You have to deal with Brazil, Cuba, and Mexico as well .-. |

REVENGE OF THE COLONIES! Except Brazil cuz Brazil was once a Portugese colony instead of Spanish and the US cuz it was more or less British.

Around half of the current American mainland was Spanish, but seeing how the Spanish Empire gave so much aid to the rebelling colonies the US invading would be more like backstabbing than revenge of the colonies. Brazil would still be revenge of the colonies because at the time it was colonized by Europe the king of Portugal was a direct relative of the king of Spain. Why couldn't EasyTech make Southern France free from German expansion, like IRL? :c BORDEAUX AND MARSEILLES SPAIN CLAY!!! |

Besides, doesn't being trapped make things worse? Oh wait, Britain is sacrificing herself to lure those Nazi German bombs away. Also, French Equitorial Africa got a lot of gens stuck in that one strip the size of WC3 Iraq, even more is that they'll still spawn some more gens. And there goes Britain again... |

But still, the point is cutting Spain some slack and giving them more expansion opportunities camouflaged with making the game more realistic. Then again, we have EasyTech's PE teacher giving them History lessons. Also Italy betraying the Axis in 1943 should be included in the 1943 campaign |

Japan wasn't weakened that much, if there wouldn't had been nukes, the war would had been very long |
