stoic or matthew, in order to prevent fraude from happening. I need either a screenshot of every 3 turns or a gameplay video, sorry for the inconvenience. I have them, but no need to upload them. I'm still behind andrei. The point is to repeat or beat the better result. I haven't done it yet.

Couple of weeks ago I repeated best75 Turkey 1980 with 24 turns, but with much less cities conquered so consequently with less score. I know it is quite difficult to make it so fast. I don't think I'll get back to records as I stopped playing WC4... just curiosity. Waiting for Your records stoic also to see the strategy with relatively weaker generals. Also very interesting!

Also, new rule when it comes down to the city records (most/least cities conquered);
When you don't want to beat any speed records, an upload of the victory screen alone will suffice.

In that case here is my Turkey 1980 record Least amount of cities 1980 conquest .org/] [/url] There is actually gameplay video, but with no victory screen. Last minute is cut as the file reached 4 Gb size, so the video capturing stopped automatically, but in case someone is interested in the strategy here it is:

Sorry for the poor quality of the pic, I reposted this from my account from another other social media website. Still, most number of cities 1943. I explained my strategy in an older conquest thread, this was my 1st conquest in 1943. Basically, all of Europe & North Africa were liberated and I had to takeover all of Earth. The missile storm in Europe was tough, but my heavy tanks were tougher!

It is pretty much the same european-war-4.boards.net/thread/7389/countries-easy-complete-1939-1943?page=2I deployed Nimitz with Conqueror medal in the See of Japan, and send Rommel on turn 3 into Africa. The rest steamroll Germany. Last time I defeated Germany, Italy and Spain in 16 turns (thus repeating your record) but needed 2 turns more to defeat Japan. Probably I have to deploy another tank general in Manchuria...

I don't think I'll get back to records as I stopped playing WC4... just curiosity. Waiting for Your records stoic also to see the strategy with relatively weaker generals. Also very interesting! To be honest, I have no idea why I had enough resources at round 21 to win the game, just didn't have the airfield to do a paradrop so that game ended with 24 rounds. My theory is anything under 24 rounds is down to your allies making an effort. If they can keep their 5* 4* cities, that could amass to thousands of cash and industry saved from bombing. You can also steal it for 153 cash. Also, sometimes the enemy just build inf or art where you can shred it to pieces quickly on the first few rounds. That might make a big difference. In short, a record is plain lucky. Strategy: You will need a good start, if you cant conquer Greece in round 2 you'll need to restart the game. Conquer middle east and europe by brute force. Anywhere else, use bombing and paradrop. City add ons isn't important. Three stack your main gen and one stack everything else. Always look for cities to steal by paradrop or mech inf. Build nukes to take cities with rocket defence. Be agressive. The enemy can only take your city with 2 units, so take it when the opportunity arises. Defend with infantry when the situation is possible and when you can relieve the siege quickly. Most important of all, be very lucky.

Probably I have to deploy another tank general in Manchuria... The main issue for record is planning. Secure the ports ahead. Otherwise even perfect play can end with couple of additional turns necessary to destroy a ship or two. Send paratroopers ahead. It is especially important when talking about Japan and asian ports in general.

matthew , What are the skills You added to Konev? Are You using Machinist? Your Konev on the screens has a bit higher HP at turn 11 than at turn 4, for example.

Hmm.. maybe.. it is absolutely the same. In that case looks like Konev was never attacked by the enemy Titan tanks. Seems like they were always focused on Your stronger tank generals. Quite lucky. Maybe You are right regarding the idea that it depends on the allies. But in Your screens even though You saved most of Your allies they anyway were useless - 139 cities conquered means You did most of the job

Maybe You are right regarding the idea that it depends on the allies. But in Your screens even though You saved most of Your allies they anyway were useless - 139 cities conquered means You did most of the job thanks. I tried to do it again but found out the most important elements to success. Round 2-4 you absolutely need to conquer three 5star cities to have a chance of 22 rounds. That means if they build a tank in Greece it's start over again. Also, the enemy can't swarm troops in mid East or the Balkans or else you get bogged down. After that, the most deciding factor is ports. A single port could take more than 2000 cash to bomb and secure. Three ports mean a whole round of end game income. You need your allies to man up, take and hold the ports until you come and steal it. I wouldn't say I saved my allies. They are actually quite useful. They can fight in the field but can't take cities. That's why you need to steal their empty hp cities and steal a siege from them. I usually have a mech inf three paces behind russian sieges and steal the city when it is below 50 health. By stealing, you are saving thousands and denying the enemy income. Also, your living allies will wipe out remaining enemies so you don't need to spend more money to wipe them out yourself. I probably played 50 games of turkey 1980 and only had 2 real chances of doing a 21 round. It's down to sheer luck imo.
