I’m already deep into my French campaign. I have vassal of Ireland, Scotland, Austria, wuertemburg, and Bavaria and conquered all of North America except for Huran and Spanish lands. I’m locked in a huge land war with Spain, Russia, Poland, and Whats left of Prussia but my Armies in Europe are spread thin. I like your voice, it’s soothing!
I dig this France guide. If you do a let's play of France, please do one with the campaign difficulty on the hardest setting. I've been playing the France campaign on max difficulty, but always run into difficulty. :-( I'm definitely going to start a new campaign and try some of your diplomatic tips. I think that might help.
Hey there Elijah my friend :) Thank you Elijah for your very kind words and it is wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the guide! :) I would love to play France in the future, it really does pose a real challenge, particularly as the campaign develops! What problems did you encounter Elijah? I really hope your new campaign goes well my friend and please let me know what happens and I hope this guide will help you conquer all! :) Take care Elijah and speak soon :)
Well, let me start by stating that I have a sinking feeling my overall strategy may be flawed. With that said, the immediate threat I have is in America. Around 3 turns the Iroquois Confederacy and Huron-Wyandot declare war on me. The Iroquois Confederacy give me the most trouble, because they attack rather immediately. Meanwhile, in Europe the United Providences has a tendency to take out Spain's settlement located next to Paris. My current strategy has been to just take out the United Confederacy as soon as possible. In doing so I am forced to leave a large army there just to fend off Hanover. To further compound my issue(s), in Europe Savory is a pain in my ass. However, Savory doesn't tend to be a problem until they build up a sufficient army to march on Paris. If I am lucky, Britain will leave me alone for 5 turns. In rare occurrences, Britain leaves me alone for a few additional turns. As you know, Britain is able to acquire the 13 colonies rather quickly giving their Empire a huge boost. This only compounds my issues in America. I've tried several routs and find myself getting wrecked by someone. For example, I've tried a Military first approach. I build up a huge army and build economic stuff with whatever $$$ I have left. I've also tried doing the exact opposite by investing in Economics first. Unfortunately, having a great economy with very little troops to protect my assets fails me. I hope this is informative enough to give you an overall picture of what I'm trying to doing. I think I could benefit from some additional short-term advice, as well as plenty of long-term advice. Thanks!
So I’m playing as the French and I have taken 6 or 7 Regions in India but for some reason I’m not getting any trade out of any of those regions. It says that i am being blockaded but I’m not currently involved in any wars. Any idea as to why I’m not getting any of my goods from india back to France ?
Hey there CSG my friend :) Are you still at war with India CSG and are all your ports back home in France fully upgraded? Sometimes your home ports cannot take any more trade because they do not have the capacity to take additional trade until your ports are upgraded. If you are still at war with India, are they blockading any ports that you may have missed? I hope this helps my friend and please let me know how things went :)
TWMala HD I am not currently at war with any countries. In India I am allied with the Mughal Empire. I am 60 years into my Campaign. Everything in India is ethier owned by me or the Mughals. I did some searching around and I found some Spanish ships setting on my trade line in the Madagascar Trade Theatre but I’m not at war with them so I don’t see how my trade should be affected by that at least not all of it
TWMala HD I’m going to need that trade Bc I need the money for more troops Bc I’m probably going to have a massive war with the Prussians and possibly the Russians Bc the Prussians have taken out the Polish,Austrians and all the Smaller German States and there are already Prussians troops in belgium Very Close to Paris. I do have Spain and the Mughals as allies and Ireland and Scotland as Protectorates and I control London
Hey Mala! What would your advice be if I started a France campaign and I wanted to expand east in Europe with Austria being my main target? How could I do that effectively without getting Great Britain involved since they're already allied with Austria in the beginning?
Hey there Infinitly my friend :) Wonderful to hear that you are starting a French campaign and moving into Europe, especially Austria is a bold move my friend, and I admire that! The first thing you need to make sure of is that the English Channel coastline is fully secured, definitely have ships to defend the coast and also have enough forces to meet any counter attacks by the British, especially aimed at Paris. Once you have those in place, and you have your forces ready to move against Austria, try to bring Austria to heel as quickly as possible, so that you can reap the benefits of your new economic and production facilities! I hope the campaign goes well infinitly and please let me know how the campaign goes my friend :)
Thanks for the advice buddy! My ultimate plan is to take out Austria and then move north to take out Prussia, provided that it still exists at that point, and then Scandinavia, mainly Sweden. After that I'll see how it goes from there. Wish me luck! :)
Matt I kept waiting for you to go to India and continue your commentary... then it dawned on me you are not using the "latest ", Darthmod version; the version where France has Cuttack. Could this account for some of your Turkish problems in your GB campaigns?
+Alan Knight Hey there Alan my friend :) India will be coming soon my friend and as DJP says it is because I am using the custom settings in Darthmod, which change a few of the starting positions/money and diplomacy for the campaigns :) I think the Ottoman problems are a "bug" that has been around for a long time and have never really truly been fixed, even after they were patched.
+DJP7991 Hey there DJP my friend :) One I definitely will do very soon my friend :) Definitely check out Alan's channel to see his excellent Pussian campaign, when you can :)
TWMala HD Mala I'm playing a old French campaign and i had abolish the monarchy under louis XVII and formed a new Republic under a consol and right after the new Republic the Martha confederacy declared war on me have her allies joined them in a coalition against me and the republic and I took over India and fought off a naval invasions britain and Russia would have tried to do but fithteen years after the Republic was formed and Martha confederacy declared war France and her enemies made peace and the monarchy was restored and Louis XVII son took over as Louis XVIII as a constitutional monarchy not absolute monarchy it is up to you should I keep the monarchy or trie a 2nd Republic
bigig10nh Hey there Bigig my friend :) What a wonderful campaign you have there Bigig! Sometimes you have enemies that appear that you would never think would declare war on you! :) A 15 year war is a massive conflict and to also have so many enemies attacking you and you have not only held off their attacks but also taken the fight to them is a credit to your skills and discipline as a Commander! We Salute you General Bigig! Thank you for the wonderful advice Bigig, it means a lot my friend and I would like very much to hear how your French campaign is progressing as I do enjoy reading how your campaign is going :)
bigig10nh Oh no Bigig! That is terrible to hear! I really hate it when a techinical issue stops a campaign from going on, especially one that sounded fantastic! :) I hope you are doing well Bigig my friend and speak soon :)
What's the right way to use Missile Cavalry Specially the French Chasseurs à Cheval and Carabiners Everytime I fight with them all they do is shoot them self in the back and run
Hey there Austin my friend :) A fantastic question Austin and I too struggled for a long time to find the right way to use missile cavalry and it took a lot of advice and practice for me to get anywhere close to using them properly, but the main advice I can give you is not to use two units in the same area or if you are angle them so that they are firing at different flanks at the same time. Ordering them to skirmish mode also helps too, so that if you have your attention elsewhere, they will keep moving if they are attacked. I would also recommend that if a fight is getting really difficult and lots of close quarter combat, order them into melee mode and have them charge into the fight. Oh and missile cavalry are incredible for moving behind the lines and picking off enemy artillery too! :) I hope this helps Austin my friend :)
I'm currently doing a French Campaign where I have destroyed the British,Dutch,Wuttemburg,Westphalia and Hannover, But now I have found my self in a massive war with me (France),Russia, and Poland going up against Spain and Prussia and while I'm having a lot of success with my war against the Spanish my Russian and Polish Allies are struggling against the prussians any ideas on how to help them out once I destroy Spain I have Madrid Under Siege so the Spanish should be defeated soon. Prussia has mainly left me alone so far even though we are at war
It sounds like you have a fantastic campaign going there Austin and thank you for sharing it my friend, I always enjoy reading how other Commanders campaigns are fairing :) That is quiet a war you have there Austin and congratulations on your near victory over Spain, you are a fine Commander my friend! As for my advice in how you defeat Prussia, the first thing I would do is to replenish and reinforce the troops who have led the attack against Spain and move them either by sea or overland (whichever is safer) to the Prussian front and try to use the veteran armies, those that have been fighting hard against the Spanish, as their experience will prove important in the coming war! I wish you well in your upcoming fight with Prussia Austin and please let me know how it concludes my friend :) Thank you for keeping me up to date with your campaign, always a joy to read :)

It's because he's on the custom setting for Darthmod.

You should do Prussia since that's a challenging nation to play as.
Already done Prussia check out my channel if you are interested.
