As I promised  best75 Russia 1812 32 turns  It also could be a bit faster, but a well-known problem: appearance of a general exactly where we don't want him to spawn  |

And, best75, I have completely forgotten to notify you, but a new Prussian record in 1812 is 33 turns now. |

stoic, Russia is awesome! Congratulations! What is Your strategy for defeating US fast? Who is the best to receive most donations? Just curious (it's Russia! afterall ), I anyway try to improve UK if GC:R will not correct the plan I decided to donate everything I have to Canada and Mexico. Not a penny to anyone else. Russia has the best income of all 3* countries, so after Poland is defeated the sum of donations is quite large. My problem so far was Greenland, therefore I decided to sent Bagration there right from the start. If he can capture Amsterdam or Brittany on the way - the problem of Greenland is almost solved, because we can build a frigate or two. Bagration is crucial for capturing Greenland because of a tent, and there are many nasty surprises, like American privateers in Atlantic.    Russia is well suited for my Infantry team - at the start there are 2 grenadiers and 2 elite light infantry units.   Besides one unit of Cossacks for Murat and Tsar's cannon for Alexander. Almost all generals can be deployed right from the start. |

32 is not enough anyway! I feel like 29-30 for UK is doable, not this weekend though Anyway it is cool, because Russia is always not easy for record. |

Well, then will wait for Your Russia in order not to waste time |

Well, then will wait for Your Russia in order not to waste time Once I saw they defeated USA in 29 turns. It is really a question of luck, because they hire militia and line infantry most of the time, but a couple of ships or cannons can change this situation drastically. Besides, it is possible to send a couple of your own ships to New York from Brittany. It is not 100% guarantee, of course, but worth trying |

stoic, i'm happy that i was the fire that started it all . Although, not gonna lie, i feel that my need to compete is going against my need to balance my time. Most of my records were simply most of your records that i simply improved, so i guess it would be even if you did retake them >:^)

Instead of donating to Canada and Mexico, you donate to Egypt. Don't ask me how i'm certain that 29 turns is possible. |

So, I presume we all have to be thankful for this But taking into account that a new game is out in a week or so, it is possible that it will have an abrupt end soon enough. I hope we all can fight each other on an equal ground (well, more or less ) then (all excuses left aside ). |

Competition is what makes things more interesting, since we'll all be one upping each other to beat the other's record by one or 2 turns. |

I hope they will make this virtual competition even more interesting by adding new dimensions like a complex system of diplomacy (for example, a possibility not only to declare war on neutral states, but to make them your allies as well) and many good generals with different skills and talents. |

hmm I wonder if anyone has completely dominated a record list for an et game before? Can't be max in wc4 as even before me some city records were under nikolai vatutin, andrei, stoic and matthew. Seems like after a while cojoncio will be close to achieving that, whereas I might have a couple more years before I can start with max's 1980 records
