How does Conquest work?

[Odione]

Sorry if this is a stupid question but how does Conquest work?

When I tryed playing the game I took over a lot of the map and still the AI got points and won the war.

Is there hidden areas that you must control or?

I have seen some videos with people having the same end as me. So I'm a bit confused to the point system.

And sorry if my english is bad.

aktually is realy a percentage of map. you own more than 50% its ticking for you.
No matter WHAT you control. That makes the game somewhat very shallow and unrealistic however. Since noone cared about an abandoned field outside of nowhere but needed to control the major roads and city between them.
But i gues there will maybe some real objectives in campaign mode. Right now its this moving frontline wich is somewhat silly as even sing low end unit with no chance of survival or areacontrol can move the frontline and force you to detach units to there even if only a pointles motorized car is there.

There's a tiny percentage indicator under the minimap, so tiny I didn't notice it til the 4rth game I played. 51%+ to start getting points. Pay close attention to the time limit as well. If the fighting's been only on your side by halftime, game over.

You need Command units to be occupying the different zones.
You'll see those units when you make a Battle group.So you'll need a Battle group for Conquest and a different one for Destruction.

Me and a friend went coop against 2 medium AI, for 35 out of the 50 minutes we had 58% of the map.
Only around the last 10 minutes we realised that for some reason the AI had instead getting the points despite us clearly having more ground. we accumilated 0 points the entire game. which was annoying nevermind we couldn't take out a Jumbo with 3 JU bombers, 2 Tankbuster missiles, a Mauser, AT guns, Panzershriek and a Firefly.

Were you using any Command units? Normal units can move the front lines, but they don't "control" territory, apparently only the command units do that.
