As far as I know Isabella unlocks up to 45 rounds, including a certain campaign progress. Thatβs what Picard wrote in his FRAβ98 guide. Thank you - 45 rounds is a benchmark - as I remember Picard's FRA'98 needs good generals, so I have to try HRE. If I can manage it I will test how much rank/exp/campaign is required - I just have 70β and practical no rank/exp (21/12) - too less for Asia this I know already. thereβre 3 Picard guides for FRA: no generals, with decent gens for Isabella and with IAPs for Lan/Vic. I showed you a 44 round finish is possible w/o gens. With the beginner stats of 65 campaign stars / Lvl 31-2734 HP and Lvl 44-27620 nobility I got only 600 years Europe and 100 years Asia. Finished campaigns was IE-Battle of Marengo and COA-Battle of Austerlitz. For Isabella you need 700 Europe. DK whether I lacked progress or HP/Nob. |

And , although I thought I'm already experienced , the key for my successful run (apart luck) I just learned from this guide: Use medikits! - Thank you Marshal Forwards! - I barely used them before - this was crucial! - now I have already all the conquests done. I will check this evening the ruled years I can get (without rank/nob!) for now. Edit: I can't get more than 650/650/250 years without exp and only 70 campaign progress. |

I re-edited the guide to add some new discoveries and information I took for granted before. I want to add: The battle west of weilburg can be very painful at the start. This is not necessary: build small fortess to flank duomirez and all the French attacks will only target this. As long as the French fortress beside the factory exists have still a small fortress in reach, so your artillery won't be attacked - build them on the other side and the French fortress is even always on bad morale. Search a good place and think that: even in construction it helps to flank - pass your enemy with a cavallary and build the sf behind on your path - don't worry for your cavalry - all attacks will go against a construction. A small fortress costs 120/10, you can build one per round, it flanks while in construction but won't fight back, it will absorbe 160 DMG and:!!! - You can manipulate the enemy - even their movement! Later this can help even hotze in scandinavia. |

Yep. Apparently, in EW4, the AI's priority are forts.
Build those and the enemy AI will be drawn to them like moths to a flame.

That's why I try to find artillery generals with spy and add movement stars. Makes the conquest much easier when fighting in the end.

Just think about AI - decision to build what? Before getting food shortage the only units that don't consume food are forts - for this they spam. leave them a few farms and you don't have forts! With some some extra food and one facility the AI will always build units instead of forts. This is also important for your allies - leave them their food so they keep fighting! |

ππ³π°π΅π΄π¬πΊ, smart way of dealing with the fort problem. Just they need to make farm a buliding instead of a plain. Then your allies could really fight instead of being in Chaos.

Yes, and the AI is intelligent enough to upgrade farms. In the HRE Prussia has already a big army - stealing two fields will stop them from moving and you want them to fight for you |

That's why you play as France in 1798 to lead the rèvoluton! It's easier and your enemies will fall from not being feed. That's why destorying supply chains makes the biggest army fall. As Alexander the great said. "I AM NOT AFRAID OF A ARMY OF LIONS LEAD BY A SHEEP. I AM AFRAID OF ARMY OF SHEEP LEAD BY A LION.

Med kits: in campaigns or normal fun conquests I was always to greedy to waste medals for them. But to achieve a princess itβs a good investment. Now even more when you get them for free by daily ad videos. years ruled: didnβt you say you know exactly how many stars it needs to rise the years ruled by 50? |

Marshal Forwards, agreed medkits are greatly needed in battle and also when a troops bulid a defensive that units can't attack. But in ew6 the unit can attack.
