Pretty sure the only reason why I don’t go for a record because I actually want my country to have no bordergore at all so that the peace treaty actually makes sense

It was my first 1806 conquest as France. I obviously made some mistakes but I see a great potential in it. There are all those advantages that a central position could give...

I was also was thinking about France's potential in 1806. Will also try it after will focus on 3* countries. Now I feel like I need some rest from EW6  |

Try 22. I have strategy for 22  I have screens from one of my run for killing Spain, Ottomans and France at turn 22. If only stupid Prussians together with Sweden took last Danish town in time it would be a record. Unfortunately they only did it at turn 24. So it was just a repeat of my previous. Will try it in a day maybe if You won't do it. The idea was in heavy use of Forced March tactic cards. |

I really like EW6 conquests because, though strategy in some of them is pretty straightforward, some minor decisions, timely/untimely used cards and right/wrong donations influence the final outcome.

stoic , here is Russia 1798 - 21 turns  The strategy is to start building universities from the very 1st turn to provide good education points flow. Heavy use of forced march tactic cards on Your Cavalry team will give You a possibility to take cities one by one what will prevent France from spawning gens in a critical cities on the way to Spain. Infantry team and artillery will be following on the flanks taking the cities and supporting the allies. By turn 9 You can be in France with Your Cav team, and by turn 16-17 in Spain. And it is just city taking with help of allies. Ottomans also are to be on the brink of collapse by turn 17.    Donations: I focused on helping Naples. That saves them and Sardinia at the me time and Corsica is also not a problem. Helped Portugal and they did really great - conquered Madrid on there own. Tricky ally is Sweden. Helped them twice but anyway sent unit to Scandinavia. Prussia and Sweden are good to kill danish units, but refuse to occupy empty cities. Negative side of the strategy - low stability - high dependence on most of the allies. If they suck, You are in trouble. I only made this result from 5th try. All previous wasn't even able to repeat Your previous record. It was 24, 24, 25 and even 29 (Denmark) However eventually it is possible

Petition to give Stoic the World’s Second Fastest Conqueror title?
Also we are getting close to a full 20 turn Conquest which I’m pretty sure no one has done before.
Unless someone had changed the game script and modified troop strength and mobility to 999...

Someone asked Marcus Aurelius why in Rome there are not any of his statues. His answer was: - Let people better ask "why don't we have any statues of Marcus Aurelius", than "what the hell they are doing here" |

I think I can do it in 21 turn even with my current team.  I reached the critical point in 21 turns  But though I donated Portugal as usual, their performance was awful this time.  |

As I mentioned allies factor is important. The worst thing is that Your donations can't guarantee positive result. It is enough that they lose one city and it could become critical point for their performance for the whole conquest whether You donate them further or not. That's irritating. |
