Full game Speedrun Guide thing (World Conquest)
Updated 2 years ago by ShinyAltaria13

So, you want to conquer za warldo and you wanna do it quick huh. Well, this'll be somewhat of a guide. For starters, country pick. A minor, like Belarus, San Marino, French guiana, etc are completely unviable. It would take way to much time, albeit, in my small amount of testing (Russia and Belarus, as well as Algeria) Europe, the caucuses, Turkey, central Asia, and Mongolia took roughly an hour as Russia, including forming the Russian empire. Meanwhile for Belarus, it took an hour and a half to form the European Union, with the first half hour being forming ruthenia, the second being intermarinum, and third being EU. African Union took roughly 2 hours as Algeria too. So yeah, you're looking at about quarter of a day for this run. Next, country pick for the run out of the majors: China, Russia, Germany, Egypt, DROC, South Africa, Spain, France, USA, UK, etc. Russia is a great choice for the run, no releasables, Lots of resources meaning you can have civilian factories up quickly, meaning stability won't be a problem, or so you think. This is due to war exhaustion. You want to be at war damn near constantly for the fastest time, but this means that you get a lot of war exhaustion, even with breaks from wars cough cough China cough cough India cough cough USA this'll still be a problem, hence why you don't want to do it as China, Israel, or any other countries with releasables at start date. Even then, France, Germany, And Spain are good for a different reason: Colonial Empires. You have an excuse to conquer the world, and a late game stability up. This may be more helpful than you think, especially with Spain's early formable in the form of the Iberian Union, which you can save for later. Same applies for the Frankish Empire, Kingdom of Croatia, Qing Dynasty, and to an extent, even Soviet Union/Russian Empire. Never form too early unless you are on world record pace for it. Now, actual strategy for the run. As Russia and China TAKE KAZAKHSTAN IMMEDIATELY. There is a reason China players tend to rush Kazakhstan and Mongolia, they have a Lot of resources, get them early and get them Fast! For Russia, Mongolia isn't as necessary, as you have plenty of gold and copper already, but Kazakhstan is vital in any run here. Also, you're probably wondering why I'm not suggesting USA, Brazil, or India. They are all democracies, the stability drop sucks. Also, in the case of the USA, you have releasable nations at the start, so, USA may be powerful and really annoying on half the public servers, but they have a severe flaw (kinda like real life). Next up, after the first formable is secured. After you do that, either aim for the second, or continental unification, unless it fulfills both, in which case do both. As an example, as Russia, after you form, rush down Europe. Lots of resources, and also the Conquest of Istanbul/Constantinople/Tsarigrad. Afterwards, your first major war: China or the USA. Never attempt both at the same time, and don't be at war before it. You WILL be in it for a while. For China, rush it through sinkiang, manchuria, and Mongolia, and try and do it fast enough so that they do not collapse. For the USA, have Arctic Specialisation troopt invade alaska and naval invade New England and the deep south before the CSA or Texas pop out. For invading Russia you need Europe and some land in the far east. Arctic specialisation siberia and rush down through Europe. Same thing kinda extends to invading Canada and even Norway. Arctic Specialisation is king. For Brazil and South America in general, Jungle Specialisation is king, same for India and Central Africa. For the sahara, Southern Africa, Australia and the Western USA, as well as most of Mexico and Chile, use Arid specialisation. Training them up takes time, but it's worth it. In other information, Roads and other minor optimization will save minutes instead of seconds, I KNOW you can potentially take Europe in under an hour. That's it for now though. Bye, and hope you enjoy your read, and any future runs of this! Good luck!

Later Notes: In my mali run no more than a few minutes ago as of writing this section, i learned that specialisation troops cannot be stacked with troops with specialisation anymore. Use this to your advantage, especially when invading brazil, congo, the middle east, canada, russia, etc.
