you start out surrounded by enemies with both acces to europa AND africa. the last thing is great and will save you a lot of turns. the biggest problem for speedy conquest is the ottoman empire.
Move your boat towards sicilly and wipe out the general on Palermo. your boat will be strong enough to conquer the whole sicily. put another troup nearby him to take the things your boat has destroyed (let's call them group A). move your other troops towards Algeria and take Algiers. it's important to take out Algeria quickly because they will spam forts which will take ages to wipe out. when you got Algiers don't create a lot of troops on Algiers because this will only cost you money and is not necessary. keep your general at Sardinea to upgrade the cities. he got the "architecture" skill so it will only cost 39 money to upgrade Cagliari.
when your done upgrading cagliari and sassari. head towards ajaccio and take it. When you've took Ajaccio. put your general inside ajaccio and upgrade it. afterwards attack Rome. there won't be a general on it so it won't be hard. however, i advice to use a general inside this battle because it is one of the most important ones. from Rome. take Florence and create a artillery on it to bombard the naples general on the stable (HE IS INCREDDIBLY STRONG). meanwhile your boat must be ready with taking over sicilly and head with him towards naples. take Naples and form two fronts. 1 towards france, we call them group C. and one towards Ottoman, we call them group D.
Group C:
Create troups at Rome and head towards Torino with them. create a few (2) artilleries on it and bombard the italian general on Milan. Put other troops to take Lyon. this city is extremely important. it got a maxed out stable so you can create much strong cavalry units (general advice!) with them head to Marseille first. ones you finished Marseille create troops at marseille and at Lyon. with the ones in Lyon you can get Clermont and Dijon. Dijon will be important because of the artilleries in there so you can bombard Paris. Create some troops at Clermont and take nantes and wipe out all the french that are remain there. so create a lot of horses at lyon and a lot of artillery at dijon and use them to wipe out france. with the ones at marseille take out the remaining french cities in the south and spain which will be conquered by france.
Group D:
now the biggest problem of this conquest: The Ottoman Empire.
Try to land in Tirana and make that your main base. Create a lot of troops in there and head into 2 groups. one for European ottoman and one for Asian ottoman. with the ones on european ottoman try to capture plovdiv and take the factory above Isantbul. create some artilleries at that factory to bombard Istanbul. and take Istanbul. when you've conquered Plovdiv you still have to create troops at Tirana. move towards athene with them and take Heraklion after that. from Heraklion create some troops to conquer the stable at Tripolitania. upgrade the stable ones and create some decent horse units. conquer the rest of tripolitania with them. so you have to cross the sea when your done with Benghazi. when you've conquered Heraklion you can use athens to conquer Eskisehir, also move your troops from istanbul towards here but take over Bursa first. create troops at Eskisheir and take out the east of the ottoman empire
General Advices:
1 for conquering Rome
1 horse general to take out the ottomans quickly (created at Plovdiv)
2 for France
