How to Destroy Prussia in ONE TURN in Empire: Total War

[@EoinJoyceMapping]

I tested this after filming, and it turns out the Ð1000 payment at 0:25 is not needed and the negotiation will be successful without this payment, so you could recruit one more general if needed.

Make when where you try to destroy two factions in one turn!

[@samueldorrington8990]

More of these one turn empire videos please! Loving the series!

[@trygveplaustrum4634]

You've got me thinking... what's the mimimum amount of turns required to win a short, or a long, campaign?

[@EoinJoyceMapping]

Prussia short campaign is probably pretty quick as you only need territory in one theatre and you only need 15 regions.

[@connorm9697]

I believe Legend of Total War managed it in 3 turns as the British, but that was using a glitch to allow infinite army movement

[@EoinJoyceMapping]

I managed a Prussia short campaign in 12 turns without movement bugs, but it could probably be improved to 10 or less.

It's pretty funny how fast you can win campaign in Empire Total War

@@EoinJoyceMapping Do you remember the most important sequence of events or a guideline to speedrun prussia short campaign?

Are there any nations you can't defeat in one turn? Oh, right, Russia... and the Marathan Confederacy...

[@unitempt7975]

im pretty sure he'll say "hold my empire" and show you there is a way

[@Raisonnance.]

He did a video about maratha confederacy in two turns but one seems impossible. Russia and Empire ottoman also seem impossible. Maybe Russia in 2 turns

[@ArsenV0122]

Martha Confederacy may be possible, but only as United Provinces, since they already own Ceylon and have troops in the region.

A perfectly balanced game as always from CA 🤣🤣

[@rafaelambrosini7562]

I love your videos man!

[@ReviveHF]

You can't do these in the latest Total War games, games tended to get more features to prevent these exploits.

[@TheT3MK4]

its nice to see your videos but is there anyone who don’t capture enemy capitals and wait until they built their unique buildings?

[@MrLONGJOHN11]

Eoin you the man! Anyone have any tips on defending forts in battles?

[@EoinJoyceMapping]

Grenadiers. Most fort battles come down to a melee, and grenadiers have quite high melee stats so they can be a useful addition to a defending army. Same as Scottish Units Eg: Scots, Black Watch, Royal Escossias all have good melee stats. However, grenadiers are 1/2 the size of line infantry, so there is the risk that they are overpowered, and as such you can't use them as a substitute for Line Infantry.

[@trygveplaustrum4634]

This is why we can't have good Empire multiplayer campaigns!

I want to see this, but upside down; because Austria has more provinces than Prussia and in the same time, more allies. XD

Nice vid! thank you for sharing

Can you do it as Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth?

[@James-sk4db]

I have with movement bug

[@matthaeusdecuiavia8637]

I wonder if similar idea would work when playing as Poland-Lithuania. I may try to do it.

[@ArsenV0122]

Unfortunately for Poland-Lithuania, its troops are too far away to besiege Berlin on turn 1, and it lacks ships to transport troops there. However, it is definitely possible to accomplish on turn 2.

[@matthaeusdecuiavia8637]

@@ArsenV0122 That's right. There is no way to conquer Prussia in first turn as Poland-Lithuania. Generally speaking it's really hard to dismantle Prussia quickly as PLC, since they have a lot of troops both in Berlin and Konigsberg, though I was able to conquer Prussia in Turn 5 (or so) with the help of Saxony, and after defeating Prussian troops that invaded Gdańsk. Hard, but possible.

[@ArsenV0122]

When I play as Poland-Lithuania, I always go for Prussia first. Declare war on turn 1, preferably without allies, so Prussia won't annex Saxony. Capture Königsberg on turn 1 with troops you have available, then spend some turns building up your forces from Warsaw and Königsberg, after that, march them towards Berlin (which I personally do on turn 6). By that time (4-5 turns max), you will have destroyed an enemy that can devour Central Europe, and have yourselves a trading port and a bunch of (not so friendly and reliable) neighbours that you can trade with whilst you rebuild your forces and deal with public unrest in Berlin. Since Austria and Prussia always declare war on each other on turn 1, if both are controlled by AI, I always ally with Austria against Prussia. If anything else fails, it buys me time. Even if Austria breaks off its alliance at some point too soon, the game's code prohibits nations from declaring war on you for whole 10 turns after breaking alliance. (So, if, for example, Austria breaks alliance with Poland-Lithuania on turn 6, it cannot directly declare war on Poland-Lithuania until it's turn 16). Of course, Austria can still join if its allies are attacked or if a war of succession is declared (which, for Poland-Lithuania, is extremely unlikely for the first 30 years). More often than not, if Saxony is intact, Bavaria and/or Westphalia declare war on it between turns 6-16, even more so likely if you control Berlin by that point. I prefer waiting until they do so rather than declare war on them first, then fight them one country at a time. Conquering Bavaria, Westphalia and (sometimes) Württemberg gives me three regions with developed universities whilst maintaining friendly or neutral relations with Austria. If all goes well, I also recruit some sloops and send a small detachment to Americas to conquer pirate islands and, if United Provinces are destroyed by France or Spain, which sometimes can happen as early as turns 11-16, I also go for Ceylon.

[@matthaeusdecuiavia8637]

Guess what, he made a video on how to destroy Prussia when playing as Poland-Lithuania XD

[@mauricio2647]

This game was so badly scripted and made that I don't know how do I have 700 hours on it on Steam

[@Anaris10]

I have over 9,000 hours...

[@StevenZagaris]

@@Anaris10 Amazing when you consider that is about 4 years worth of 40 hrs/week. You could have become a Doctor.

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH the GENERAL GLITCH XD

[@Sharp931]

Kinda works, but Transilvanian units gone too far and it take 2 turns instead of 1. I also got technology from Prussians, not the gibs.

[@rodrigo_ider6746]

Buenísima, bien hecho

[@CaptainHessi]

Is it possible to beat Austria with Prussia in one turn?

[@ArsenV0122]

No, (un)fortunately. Troops are too far away from Vienna.

[@Nikodem-gl8tp]

that's nice
