So I finished the map besides the 100 million fans goal and restarted it and got to 94 million fans by doing reinforcements but now it says I have 0 reinforcements left do I have to start over again or can I just play steal fans games til I get the 6 million needed?
That should work, 2 games on AS or 3 on Vet
-
OK thanks it's taken me this long to get to this point so I stopped for the night and will pick up tomorrow sometime
-
So that didn’t work so I have to start over and hope that I don’t run out of reinforcements
-
This is never going to work they keep stealing more than half of the 61 million fans I’m starting with, can someone please explain how I’m supposed to do this’ll when I only have 1 reinforcement to work with or do I need to play games as well to collect fans
-
I found a spot on the bottom beat 3 strongholds in a row. Then I reinforced both sides of my little line. You can play 6 if you want to get more fans each reinforce but you don’t need to.

Thats strange, stealing fans is just adding reinforcements.
I guess there is a max limit of reinforcements you will ever see then? -
OK I'm trying at the top but I'll do the bottom as well,

I guess there is a max limit of reinforcements you will ever see then?Definitely weird because I started with 94 million stole 3 million but my total stayed at 94 million
-
Or were you down to just one territory? You probably need 2 since you can only assign 99 fans to one and the game could be capping at 94 because stealing 6 would break the map (you couldnt assign everyone)
-
I don't think I'll ever get 100 million fans because every time I try to reinforce they steal more than half and moving fans from one spot to another doesn't help give you more fans either
-
Do you have only one spot currently? If so try this:
Lose one gave on purpose. See if your neighbours attack anything
Keep losing games until they stop attacking
Take your neighbour tile, they wont be able to counter attack anymoreThen you can at least see if you will start getting reinforcements again without restarting the map
-
I think its just a case that people are stretching the conquest in ways it wasnt intended and the coding is suspect in those fringe cases.
They intended it to be done via conquering territories but one in the first 2-3 turns and stealing fans along the way so its all done in one go (which also allows ~80% of gaves played on AS and below) but that requires some strategy beyond what most people know with conquest
I wouldnt have gotten it done that way myself if I didnt lose a gave by accident and realize how powerful it is to let CPU have a turn during in the niddle of your conquering

I currently have 4 in a row with 27 fans on each end but only have 1 reinforcement and every time I go over 70 million fans they take it back down to 65
-
Thats odd, its not like the other teams can get a lot of reinforcements. After a few attacks against you they should stop trying
Sounds like a weird bug

Extreme Conquest DONE!! Thank you for your help, it only took 5 restarts of the map and 10 extra games played to finally get the 100 million fans needed
-
Congrats, sorry it was such a hassle. Nice knocking off a third of the program in one instant though

What path did you take to get most on AaS or Veteran? I haven’t started yet and looking for advice. Thanks!
Sorry if this is a bit late
I can't remember exactly how I did it, but I remember targeting the teams I could play on All Star, NYM, SD, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Boston, St Louis, KC, CHW, Texas, Colorado, also took out NYY, Baltimore and LAD on the first turn on Hall of Fame.
Then took 4 million fans (my 4th Hall of Fame game)
Took out SF on my second turn, then TB, Minnesota, Milwaukee, Arizona, Houston, Toronto and Washington and Cincinnati
By turn 3 I had only 3 games against the Cubs (they stole the Phillies and Guardians strongholds) 3 against the Angels (they took Seattle and Atlanta's strongholds) and 2 against the Marlins (who took the Athletics sronghold) by then I was playing every game on either Veteran or All Star.
I saved the last hexagon for turn 6 while I loaded up on fans for the other turns.
-
Finished the extreme conquest on my 2nd account but without restarting the map, I learned what I did wrong with my main account and when I defeated all the strongholds by turn 2 I reinforced until turn 6 which got me the 100 million fans and only had to play the final 2 strongholds on rookie
