I'm top 21 on conquest 1798 with about 10k points lesser than you and I do it by auto Sardinia 1798 in version 1.0.2 (where Cavalry hasn't been buffed yet, and not yet get mobility +2 in tech upgrade) with some of my generals, I can get more if using dimiss trick (about 20k more). The 1812 I only did once to get Lan and return to version 1.0.2  As I said, andrei is top 3 and he can easily reach top 1 if using dimiss trick (which i think the 1st use to get 260k pts), and don't focus too much on princesses. It may be a nerf and a difficulty but it's also a chance to improve your tactic skill if you are hardcore player. Have fun! Yuanzhong, how can you return to a previous game version? Check my video-guide for Warsaw 1798 if interested. It is very illustrative how it is important to conquer cities fast. With this strategy I completed Warsaw in 29 turns. Andrei, I did Warsaw in 32 rounds with my palace+Maria+heavy cav spam combo, but I still deploy Gates in round 1, since I only have 7 good generals, I still do not have a single general close to being maxed out and still have to spend 200k gold on cav upgrades alone. With all upgrades I will get easily below 29 rounds, probably even around 25 rounds should be possible, but I guess now I will never find out. Thanks for all the responses. This game is great, but even thought it's single player, some balancing would be really helpful. IMO this update didn't balance conquest mode. Below a list of balancing changes to conquest I would like to see: - Improve Elite Light Infantry, Assault Infantry, Musket Cavalry and Armored Car damaged to city defence units. It's crucial to take cities, even if you can, recruiting theses top inf and cav units makes no sense. - Decrease imperial fort building time to 3, probably even 2 rounds. I never get a stituation, where I have a lvl 5 city, have the money for the imperial fort and most importantly can wait 4 rounds for it to build. - Implement temple non-combat regen of around 25% per round. I never build temples and I doubt may people do, the regen is way to slow. The 8% regen for a unit that was attacked in the last round can stay, but out of combat it's need an buff. - Futhermore reduce the palace building cost, unless you want to improve princess stats, but I think for most parts reducing palace cost would be a better choice. - Improve wonder effect or reduce cooldown. The 500/250 recources is not worth the little effect the wonder gives. IMO a mix of a slight buff to all 3 elements would be the best, less cost to build/repair, bigger effect, shorter cooldown. Well, actually 32 turns and 29 or even 25 turns is such a huge difference. You can use yuanzhong advise and downgrade Your version and we'll all congratulate You. SO You can find out whether Your strategy is valid or not. I wouldn't be so sure that we can be much better just because of the uncompleted techs. With "before-1812" version of the game our record for 1* country in 1798 was 33 turns. So between almost no tech and max tech it is only 4 turns difference. Techs are important, but the increase of 10-15 additional damage points won't be a strategy changer. It's because record conquest is more about taking down cities defence - not units killing. Regarding temples - You will need temples in the final challenge of the Crimean War. And not every player is focused on records. If You are just taking time, roleplaying etc. You could be interested in building forts, temples, wonder usage. They are making games not only for You and Your focus, but for all players  |

I wish I hadn't installed this update. Now I will probably quit playing. All the money spend and endless hours to get to the top10 in all 3 coquest and now with the big nerf to Maria I wont be able to reach the highest scores, but the Player with the old version still can. Otherall the balancing makes sence, but getting the highest scores required max Maria and spaming heavy cav each round. Honestly I think Maria's bonus was glitched.. the other princesses who did the same thig had just 25%. Still, Lancers do still have an insane comnat value for their price in terms on money and population. Also think it this way: Lan can be of great help in conquest, where you have lots of space to properly use Surprise Attack. Still, I will have to admit that 1815 is a lot smaller than 1812 update. Just for comparison: 1812 added 2 big campaigns, 2 side-campaigns, 2 sets of challenges, the other half of tech research, 1812 conquest 1815 added 1 set of challenge, 1815 challenge and the possibility to hire princesses. The point I'm trying to make is that for now, someone can stick to 1812 without losing too much (and be able to exploit Maria)... this is a much smaller step than 1.0.2 (original) to 1.1 (1812) was. |

mehow85, I think you have somewhat overoptimistic impression what you can do in the future based on what you can do now  . I completed Netherlands in 30 turns weeks ago. When I did it my Karl was only bought recently and hardly was significantly better than Gates. Since then I have upgraded my generals significantly and my Karl is a beast now, but still I can't repeat andrei's 29 turns. So this situation has two explanations: 1. I don't know how to use good generals instead of bad generals 2. There are some objective factors we have to acknowledge. One of those factors is the fact that we can't complete conquests with records without our allies. Our generals simply can't be everywhere. And I don't think they can conquer Ireland (when we play as Poland) in 25 turns. Simply because we don't have a necessary quantity of Forced marches (especially when we build palaces instead of universities). So it is always better to speak of what you can do now, instead of speculating about "what if...". I think it can save any player from disillusionment.

I've been looking at and considering EW6 (my son is edging me towards getting it), and from what I see, it looks like a sequel/parallel to EW4, but with an entirely different system of technology development (and I like the multiplayer idea). It's going to eat a lot of my time, though, isn't it?
Also - do I need to be online to play the single-player version? (The best part of EW4 is that I could play it on airplanes where Wi-fi and bluetooth are forbidden.)

No I don't think you need to be online to play, but there is daily tasks that won't appear if you're offline. They offer a small reward of resources. |

You don't need to login for playing (So, no wifi requirement) Already checked on Android |
