I was so pissed off that I wasted 2 turns this previous try because of my own stupidity that I lost a city to Russians at turn 29, so I decided to replay it with my modified strategy once again. And I did it within 29 turns! That is my first 2* country conquest finished with less than 30 turns!! And actually if I am bit luckier and Russians wouldn't purchase militia in the most east-northern town it could be 1 turn faster as I defeated Great Britain by turn 28. So it is fastest for 1806 conquest and fastest 2* country 1806   |

If a below 20 turn Conquest is possible, then is it also possible to win the game without the ottomans joining the war?

Through diplomatic measures we can delay it until the twentieth turn. But I really doubt that we can reach all Spanish provinces in this time... And our constant donations will make Ottoman empire very reach |

It's too expensive To delay them for the first time costs 225 + 90. Second 675 + 270. If we send such a fortune to them we'll have no time and money to help allies. And donation is the main part of the plan |

Btw, sometimes donations to Sardinia are working. I could keep them alive a couple of times...

Britain 1789 is an interesting option as well... With 8 generals, I think, it will be possible to complete it in 24 turns...  |

It is less stable than Russia and consequently less suitable for record. But more fun. I like Great Britain. Russia is just steamrolling through Europe. Very straightforward strategy. Just need to donate properly and that is it. |
