rjs, your generals are fine except for Mirza. I recommend you to grind for Sophia's health and regeneration because you will probably keep her throughout the game. If you want more advice, let me know which progress you've made in the campaigns and how many years you've achieved in conquest

If you want more advice, let me know which progress you've made in the campaigns and how many years you've achieved in conquest Yeah, what he said. You might consider a backup artillery general; Carteaux is pretty good as he has some inbuilt movement bonuses (the Engineering skill) and also Siege Master, which (like Sophia) gives him an advantage against units in cities and other buildings. Oddly enough, Carteaux - the cheapest artillery trainer - also has Siege master plus explosive and three artillery stars, which makes him quite a competent fighter until such time as you regroup him. He would almost be better than Sophia (and out of the box he probably is), except that her Spy skill gives her a huge advantage in fort cracking. The speed run to get the elite princesses, as described by Antonio Luna , is difficult to impossible until the rank and nobility of your generals is significantly increased; however, you might be able to do it more slowly and pick up Maria and Fatimah. That method requires two artillery and one cavalry general, and is recommended. Do it under 40 turns and you can pick up every princess except Kate, Lan and Victoria. On the matter of campaign progress, I managed to get everyone except Lan and Victoria without yet having finished either Coalition or Imperial Eagle. |

Not playing campaigns and focusing on conquest and its paying off in a very good way. Now filled up all my slots,will have start buying more. Queston though,can one dismiss a general and get 80% refund as in WC3? |

You can't get a refund for them, rjs , but by regrouping, you feed some of their accumulated experience and nobility into the general or princess who absorbs them. Remember that if you regroup a princess, she's gone FOREVER. You can't get her back without starting over. Slots are very cheap, and the effect they have on your flexibility is lasting. Getting Kate this early in the piece will be very good for you. Fight your way through to Trafalgar in campaigns and she will come in very handy - european-war-4.boards.net/thread/4686/medal-grinding-guide-battle-trafalgar |

Sorry,but this medal grind is not working well for me.
The french and spainish don't attack aggresively, they retreat down the left corner.
The best i get is 5-6 medals,and i do have Kate.
I could do that in 5 mins of any conquest.
Maybe i'm just not setting up right.

rjs , The point is that it's a zero effort auto-grind. You can do it while you're watching TV, playing something on another platform, browsing this forum... whatever. You do it for eight or nine turns or until your generals are dead, then exit, reload the setup, repeat. Over and over. Just touch the next-turn button whenever you've got half a second to divert your eyes from whatever you're doing. The design intent was its ease of use, not its output per reload. I, for example, have a more intensive grind with double armoured cars and double machine guns surrounding just about every city from Kiel down to Zurich in a vertical line and a few more to boot. That one took 74 turns to set up, but the run out to 99 turns (limited-turn platform version) can yield me a whole bucketload of medals and at least one academy refresh. HOWEVER, it takes deliberate effort for every shot and I can't reliably concentrate on anything else (except listening to music) when I do it. It's the flipside of the Trafalgar Grind, and it too has its place.

Maybe getting Fatimah helps (who haves 1 naval star)or just a better setup. Not going try the 2X AC wall,takes too long to setup😴😴😴 |

It might take a long time to set up, but I get 80 medals and two academy refreshes every time I play mine, and I'd probably get more medals if I didn't skip the AI phase every time (to shorten the turns and conserve power when away from a powerplug).
