Conquest on Extreme Difficulty...

[Villanelle]

...is just impossible, right?

I've completed a few campaigns conquests on hard mode and I'd say I'm pretty expert at this game now. I've tried extreme difficulty about twenty plus times and with different clans (stag, wolf, bear, lynx). I always find the first game the hardest. I know it takes some perseverance, and I've got a lot of patience, but I just can't break through any of these.

The AI starts with such huge advantages that you have to wait a bit to catch up with them, but by that time they have two upgraded defence towers in their home and an endlessly reinforcing army.

Has anyone managed it?

If you talk about conquest, try it with the wolf clan and always try to rush one enemy fast. Go military lore first, so you get lot of money and you units get healed when you attack the enemy.

Oops, yes I did mean conquest. Thanks.

The Enemies START with 2 upgraded towers on expert.
i recommend saving at the start of the map and explore the tiles around you to plan your start.
Then load to start efficient.
It is possible but felt like pain fot me too. I finished it with Wolf Clan.

Thanks guys.

Thing is, I'm a sucker for a difficult challenge. I've completed several conquests on hard now and have gotten right to the end of several extreme level conquest games. I just get stuck at the end point facing that endlessly respawning army plus 2 upgraded defence towers.

It sounds as though wolf is the way to go.

Thanks Endy for the map exploration idea, I hadn't thought of that

Finally did it! Took about 1000 attempts to find the perfect map though. Did it with wolf up against sheep, lynx and bear, which gave me the food boost each time I ate one of my enemy's animals.

Now for the rest of the conquest...the next two challenges are blizzards or kobolds
