1. Unite North America

1. When you start campaign, your advisor will advise you about your first priorities is rebuild NATO's territory strength to Level 3 and warn you about risk losing entire Korean Peninsula to the Soviets in next turn.



+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

2. Victory Conditions for Americans are 1) destroy the Soviets or 2) Increase your total industry income to 50 Tribute higher than that of the Soviets



+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

3. Because you must use many Tribute to rebuild NATO's territory strength to Level 3, so I think unite North America is a good plan because you need only occupy Mexico and Central America to accomplish my plan.

Then you use 13 Tribute to make Mexico becomes Americans client state.





+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

4. You use 20 Tribute to launch an espionage mission.







I believe Josef Stalin won't happy if he knows his nuclear missile vanish in Eastern Europe.





+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

5. After finish an espionage mission, you use 40 Tribute to purchase territory strength upgrade for Iberian Peninsula and Italy.

Note : 40 Tribute = Iberian Peninsula ( 20 Tribute ) and Italy ( 20 Tribute )



+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

6. After that you are ready to attack Central America and unite North America.











I recommend you to make allying with Juan Arevalo ( Pink ) because all your land vehicles unit will always heal, so you will have big advantage in combat against another Panamanians.

2. Unite Korean Peninsula

1. After you occupy Central America, you'll unite North America so you will receive 100 Tribute.









+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

2. You use 20 Tribute to launch an espionage mission.

Note : Spy infiltrate enemy building to receive units ( Lenin Statue - Special Forces / Apartments - Partisan / Courtyard Fountain - Flamethrower / Two-storey house - Spy / One-storey house - General / Office Building - Humvee )





As a result of this espionage mission, China isn't Americans client state but were annexed to the Americans.

You also overthrow Mao Tse-Tung's government and receive 50 Tribute from this event. ( 191 - 20 + 50 = 221 Tribute )

Huge loss for the Soviets and Josef Stalin.





+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

3. Your advisor will advise you about your first priorities is rebuild NATO's territory strength to Level 3 and warn you about the Soviets plan to send troops to South Korea this turn.



+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

4. You have only choice to stop the Soviets invade South Korea, you must preemptive attack South Korea.





You scarce Metal and Wealth but you need them very much to build your troop, so you should build mines and make Commerce Research ( + Science Research ) asap.

You should send The CEO and 5 - 7 citizens to Korean Peninsula.

CEO will heal your small army when you don't have many resources to build new unit and need every unit to fight North Koreans army at beginning.

I recommend you to ( assign citizens ) build Redoubt and 2 SAM Installations at Suwon and Seoul to halt North Koreans invasion.

After that you should order those citizens to always repair our defense building and South Koreans city.

P.S. I also use 2 Aircraft Carriers to guard Seoul.



If you can relentless defense against North Koreans army for 30 minutes, you have a choice to continue this operation or pull out.

Choose continue and pay 30 Tribute for extra 60 minutes to conquer North Korea and unite Korean Peninsula.



If you capture any city from North Koreans, Chinese government is disappointed in your action and will send their army to attack your city.



Chinese will have their redoubt at northwest of the map and they always send army from here.

I recommend you to raze Chinese's redoubt and build your redoubt and bunker instead. You should send some army to station at this spot too.

Although you raze Chinese's redoubt, Chinese still can send their army from this spot. Therefore you still need defense building and/or army to protect your city and Salt ( rare resources ) from Chinese invasion.

3. Preemptive attack Middle East

1. Although you already conquered North Korea, you will discover Kim Il-sung's government isn't overthrow and still rule North Korea.

Korean People still split into two factions, not unite under one government like you expected.

Finally both North Korea and South Korea are Americans client states.













+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

2. You use 20 Tribute to launch an espionage mission.

you must watch out for Red Guards Infantry that appear from barrack. If they appear, you should order your Special Forces to snipe them down swiftly.







+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

3. After finish an espionage mission, you use 260 Tribute to purchase territory strength upgrade for your allied, NATO.

Note : 260 Tribute = Greenland ( 50 Tribute ) + British Isles ( 50 Tribute ) + Iberian Peninsula ( 30 Tribute ) + Scandinavia ( 50 Tribute ) + Italy ( 30 Tribute ) + Turkey ( 50 Tribute )





+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

4. Your advisor will advise you about your first priorities is rebuild NATO's territory strength to Level 3 ( again ) and warn you about OPEC is interested to consider client state offers from both sides ( The Americas and the Soviets ).



+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

5. You have only choice to stop the Soviets send client state offer to Middle East, you must send your offer to Middle East before the Soviets send.





I recommend you to build 2 SAM Installations at your Redoubt to stop Arabs air force attack your unit.

4. Declare Industrial Victory

1. After you occupy Middle East, you will have enough Tribute to upgrade all territories ( including your client states ) to territory strength Level 3.







+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

2. You have a chance to end the game and declare Industrial Victory, let's do it !





This could be fastest finish in Conquer the World Campaigns !
