Europe isn't necessarily hard, it just requires a lot of risk. My strategy was to just kamikaze my way as far into Europe as I could with my beginning armies, breaking up the AI's reinforcement bonuses. I got pretty lucky in this early part of the game and didn't lose many territories back to the AI, which gave me time to bring in the 3 reinforcing armies and consolidate a hold on areas closer to England. I then held a line in Italy and Germany while sweeping down through spain and heading across the bottom of the map to Greece, then had the two separate fronts meet in eastern europe. Beat it one or two turns over the limit for the gold star that way

Tip to those having troubles. Try to mass a good amount at choke points so you have a little flexibility to react to an attack.

It's a good game, though there's nothing more frustrating than when you've been carefully consolidating your power, only for some other army to appear out of the fog and spam 30 reinforcements without a care.

you should be able to make peace with another player then you can team up to fight the others the once you and your teamate have defeated everybody else in the game you can fight each other

I hate it when the enemies become maniacs and give all their armies to one territory then they end of capturing everything and you lose.

SillyGuy: you can't take Ukraine on your first turn, it's true. But you can and should take it (along with India obviously) on your second turn. From there it's easy.

The hard badge is almost impossible. To beat the computer at 6 turns on Europe you have to skip getting the continent bonus, where the computer does not skip. This leads to a very small chance of managing to take over Indonesia on turn 4 (so small, that it might as well be called the save and load badge.) In fact, the displayed chance of taking the territory via the analyze graphs with 10 armies is 0%. With taking Europe, the fastest course gives a 7 day win. The requirements to win this are: 1. Take each territory on the path with only 1 loss until contact. 2. Computer does not take over Australia on turn 2, which it almost always does.
This make the hard badge more a pain of constantly loading a saved game than anything else... and the times should possible be reconsidered to allow them not to be such a luck based grind fest... imo. Granted, this is more of a badge complaint than anything else!

Aargh, I can't beat level 3 second time. Any general tips? I try to get big territories that give armies ASAP (priority to ones that have bigger army/territories ratio) and at least one territory of other big territories so my enemy does not get armies. Anyway, one of AI still has more territories in the endgame.

After I conquered the world at the end of level 3, the largest army in history was assembled at the south pole. Also, later when I was watching the play-by-play, I found that the main reason I won was the amazing stupidity of my computerized enemies behind the fog. Their not always into fortifying their frontiers.

When working in teams, you should see your teammate's moves, it's hard to balance attacks on other territories when your teammate might attack the same place too

Hi, is there a problem with the risky business achievement ? I completed level 3 in 20 turns and challenge in 23, and I didnt get it.
