I have no clue how I’m going to beat a conquest. I need to know what country is the easiest. Feel free to put anything that would help in this thread. I’ll also have a poll for what Country you think is easy.

I’ll also have a poll for what Country you think is easy. Chances are, this game follows ET's latest trend of "Conquest is very challenging right off the bat, strengthen yourself first before starting one". I'd recommend playing campaign & challenges first to get a feel of the game. If you want to play, look at the starting gens of each nation & judge which nation has the best starting firepower. The country with the best starting firepower probably has a better chance of gaining a head-start when you begin your conquest. Note: This is from past exp based on previous ET games & not from playing EW6, because it's not available for Android yet so I havem't played it. |

As weird as it may sound, the stronger the country you play as, the harder it is to play conquest. It’s because stronger countries tend to spawn more generals throughout the game.
If you play as one of the stronger countries, you’re actually weakening the faction because the country’s generals does not get chance to spawn.
I tried playing as England but currently get bogged down because France started spawning more and more generals to halt my advance.
I recommend to play the weaker countries as the beginner. Nonetheless, I observe that the England faction are quite stronger in 1798 as they had major countries like Russia, Prussia and Austria.

Actually isn't that strange but there is a also a another major factor : the location of the country . For example: France isn't easy because is surrounded by enemies and England by Sea which leads directly in Mainland France, On the other hand If you play as Prussia or Austria and ally with Russia (if I am not wrong Russia starts nutural) you have a huge advantage, the same about Spain and France (I think what they are allies anyway) or Ottomans and Austria-UK-Prussia (for which I only know what is their beginning faction, if they have one) |

How about Russia? You only need to focus on one front with not the strongest enemies, plus France is relatively far away meaning you can grow to a strong empire before facing them.

The way how conquest works now is, some countries start immidiatly at war (France, England, HRE, the Netherlands amd you) and over time, all other countries, apart from Switzerland will join the war over time. The lower the rating of the countries the sooner they will join. You can also speed it up (id they are allies) or speed it down (if they are enemies) by 2 turns, by giving them resources in the diplomacy screen (left icon). But the countries will always be on the same side. You can always declare war on your allies but you can’t ally your enemies. |

Yes, I should explain that better, because when I was saying Russia starts Nutural it actually means what will take some time (15 rounds only) to join the English Coalition. NetherFreek, Ottomans are starting in the French team, they are encircled. |

Russia is hard. You will have to fight Poland and the Turks at the beginning, but when Napoleon takes Prussia, you’ll have a bigger problem. One thing that annoys me the most is that the ottomans keep on spamming their units with their generals not far behind with their full production. Austria will join later, but will also be defeated in Romania by the Ottomans. You legit have to concertrate your income in the south just to keep Crimea from falling. There is no way of relieving the siege, as the ottoman navy will simply kill off any infantry while the cannons continue to shell your units while they keep spamming infantries.

i just finished a conquest with the ottomans and have to say i found it quite easy  maybe you guys should try it as well. strategy -> basically send everything against the HRE (they will collapse soon as the french and spanish will swarm them). After that i prevented the russians entering for 2 turn to prepare my invasion of them and then truck into moscow. your allies should do fine as long as you keep the russians at bae and eventually the will take over britain. hope this works for you |

I just finished 1798 Russia and it went quite well. You should play the 1798 conquest first since the AI countries will have a greater tech advantage in 1806, making 1806 harder. Ottomans won't join the war for 15 turns so you can focus on killing Poland and than push back France with the help of your allies. I found allies to be really helpful.    Were those medals a one-time reward? Or can you still earn medals again? (30 seems like a low reward) |

Definitely Russia for 1798. I was in a stalemate with Ottoman and HRE was getting destroyed by France but just gotta have faith in your allies. Eventually they turn the tables and start advancing, making it easy to take enemy cities.

I am currently doing Russia 1798 myself, failed misserably after a few times, but managed to overcome the hordes of enemies eventually. I sent every force in the south towards the ottomans, building a fort against my south-western city, neutralized the ottoman stable in the south-east and defended. I sent all forces in the north to Warsaw, captured those 2 cities, upgraded them as high as possible and sent them towards France immidiatly, togather with the Prussian and British forces we managed to defeath them without too much trouble, now have the entire northern Europe under control and France only has Marseille and his southern most cities. And I managed to take the Ottoman capital by bombarding it with 2 corvettes and my nearly destroyed frigate with a general (the one you start with) and then sent in an infantry unit. They are now being defeated in Greece by me, HRE and Naples. It won't take long untill france fall and the Ottomans will shortly after followed by Spain and then it is all over.
