Study Notes

Conflict of Nations - Early Game Strategy

Planning is Key: Early planning is crucial for success in Conflict of Nations due to the game's time-based nature. Watch the YouTube basics guide and wiki beginner intro for a better understanding.
Unit Research: Immediately upon starting a game, study available units in the research panel. Understanding unit strengths and weaknesses is vital for tactical success. Motorized Infantry is strong defensively, but weak offensively.
Territorial Conquest: Only infantry units can conquer territory.
Economy: Each province has base production of money and manpower. Key attributes of a province include population, morale, production, and terrain type. Cities are the primary source of income, and building construction (army bases, arms industry, recruiting offices) on day one is important. Aim for 3 army bases, 4 arms industry buildings, and 2 recruiting offices (in provinces classified Army/Air/Naval) for early strength.
Building Upgrades: Continuously upgrade buildings to meet short-term goals. Avoid expanding borders too quickly early, as reduced infantry can be acceptable as long as casualties aren't excessive.
Combat: Understand basic combat concepts for strategic advantage, though this is not crucial in the first day(s).
Insurgents: Insurgent AI units can be problematic if left unmanaged. Utilize the provided guide for strategies to deal with them.
Production: Reference the detailed production page in-game for a deeper understanding of resource management and planning to create economic strength.
