Sun liren, i tried Austria 1812,and the biggest problem i see is that in the early game, you pretty much have to spam militias to protect your cities, so you can't donate early to the Americas, which screws the speed run over. I got 47 turns btw(The US managed to capture a city deep in Canadian territory, where the main force had to U turn to recapture it, took them 5 whole turns to do so), you did better than me in that regard  . It can be done i think, but it would be inconsistent. Russia is a lot more consistent since you steam roll your enemies and don't have to bother with militias. Austria looks really promising tho. At turn 29, i thought i would break the current record. But no, USA strikes again. Russia is positioned so it has 2 fronts to worry about, while Austria is surrounded by enemies, and to advance you need to push with your generals, and protect your cities with militias. If Austria was considered a 2 star country, then it definitely is on par with Prussia, but since it's a 3 star nation, it has to compete with Russia.

Well all austria playthrough basically enhance the winning chances of Europe warfare a lot but cannot it oversea ally which mean you really need really Good RNG to win like in my playthrough Canadians and British and doing very well hence I can win the conquest by 39 turns God ally Canada:  |

dsongop any luck at beating a record in 1806? Invading Britain is the tricky part. Always manage to delay the game despite the Russians already lost.

dsongop any luck at beating a record in 1806? Invading Britain is the tricky part. Always manage to delay the game despite the Russians already lost. I've been trying coalition countries and Britain herself mostly in 1806, and I've fallen short every time. The Ottomans hold so many cities in Arabia which is a massive pain. When playing as Britain, I took Egypt and the Ottomans with ease, but I was too slow on invading mainland France and Spain. And yes, invading Britian in 1806 would be a challenge, as France, I'm trying to develop a strategy to land on Britain asap just like I did in 1798, but theres no progress so far. |

France 1806 has been the biggest one for me because I know it is beatable... the trick is to blitz Russia, because Austria is really easy... In one of my conquests I got all of southern Ireland thanks to the Spanish navy help (it's all luck based, sometimes they send units sometimes they don't)... So to get Britain you have to go around because the main unit spam across the English channel is too much... Send your French troops in Portugal to get the random British city/island in the Atlantic, then use that as a base to create more units to send to Ireland. Once you get one city in Ireland (turn 16ish), you should be all set to invade the rest of Britain. I was dumb because I could've ended the conquest earlier, but instead it dragged on so my best record is 36 turns RIP me. Anyways, hope this helps you! |

Louis Gabriel Suchet, you can do it man, just keep trying until you beat it. stoic can give you a motivating speech  . I'm busy atm with Clausewitz 's mod "On War", so I won't be beating any records soon, along with real life and such. If you can use 2 generals to beat Britain, you have a large chance of beating the record. Just spend most of your resources in Britain, while only using some of your resources to train militias to protect your captured cities in Austria, Prussia and Russia, while blitzing Russia using your 6 other generals along with the French generals given. I actually tied the fastest record of 1806 using France, but I am not in the mood for another tie . |

Oh man, I've been having a really hard time recently improving records. America is annoying af in 1812 and 1815. Once I was playing Spain, and I easily conquered Europe, yet Columbia still couldn't take Brazil out despite my consistent donations starting from round 10 or so. They even lost Bogota at one point. I think the AI automatically balances out, so if the European front goes super well, America's going to be a trashbag. Another really frustrating thing is trying to find a balanced distribution of troops and generals in multiple fronts. As France and Denmark in 1806, I always easily destroy the Russians at turn 27 or so, but Britain would always be a pain in the a$$ even if I purposely devote more troops there. I'm thinking about taking a small break from EW6 since I can't find a breakthrough. Tomorrow I'm gonna try to reclaim Deleted's marvelous 2 star 1798 record, the only record I haven't attempted in a while. Hopefully that goes well.

Anyway,when playing spain,just send your navy gen and a unit you have in Morocco(it's a grenadier I think), and take some lands in South America. That's more consistent than donating to them. Donate to Canada instead, and donate to Mexico later. 1812 and 1815 is highly dependent on America, so yeah. As for my 2 star record, again, you can try . |

dsongop Prussia and Naples are your best bet for 2 star 1798. Denmark is too slow. I definitely will improve my record, but i'll let you beat mine first .

Deleted , I tied your 1798 Prussia record with a slightly better score. Palma, Lyon, and Corsica were the last cities I took since Sardinia got taken out

I would like to claim 1star 1815 record and Highest Score. I did it with Morocco in 40 turns. My strategy was to start donations from turn 1, and get rid of most of my aura generals replacing them by stand-alone ones.

No you may not claim the title, because my Bavaria 1 star record should have been the one holding this record . I don't think it matters that much if you use aura or aura less generals, it's pretty much better to use aura ones tho, unless you can give a valid reason why they are better. Also, i'm gonna tag best75 so he can see this. |
