I know there is already a thread here about this level, but even if I follow the advice to destroy Austria first, I'm not managing it.

If I'm lucky I end up destroying all bonuses of everybody, but then I'm also left with a bonus of max 3 and still facing big armies in Portugal and having Prussia and England with big armies in France destroying me slowly.

Until now I tried to get in the first round:
- Austria&Bohemenia
- Kingdoem of Sweden
And depending on Russia's moves I get both.

But then England moves to France and also Prussia moves westwards with an armie of 20. Luckily most of the time the AI doesn't move the armies in Portugal and Galicia. Although that has no real impact as they are too big for me and I can't really fight them without destroying myself.

My 2nd round is mainly to fight England with both Netherlands and Belgium as I don't know where they will attack and they attack only one of them. and also I try to kill the bonus of Prussia and expand in Scandinavia.

So what is your strategy after the first round? Where are you putting your armies?

It's been a long time I completed that map, but what I recall is breaking Austria first turn. Baiting AI to attack me in Iberia by moving all to one territory then moving them back first order before they attack, same thing goes with UK. Then break Prussia and tray to finish England and Iberia. Important thing is not to take territories that border Russia, instead you have to go through Scandinavia, take them only when you have army advantage. Did it in 12 turns but lots of tries. GL!

thanks. so you need a lot of luck that your orders get done before those of the AI during the second round.
I would say it happens in 1 out of 10 times.
