5. China
China is one of the strongest countries. China has nine homeland cities, which gives it powerful resource production. China is a good country but too large for its own good. It will take ages for you to conquer Mongolia. While you are conquering Mongolia, neighboring countries will have time to attack you. The only way to survive solo with China is to play defensively. In a solo match, you will leave your back vulnerable if you attack. Therefore, it is recommended that China be part of a coalition.
4. Serbia
Serbia is one of the smallest nations surrounded by cities. You can easily make a strong air force early in the game. If you are in a coalition with Romania, you will be golden. The sheer amount of AI cities nearby will allow you to quickly amass a strong military without worrying about Romania. However, this country has drawbacks. If you are not active with Serbia, you will fall soon, and you have only one coastal city, limiting your navy. It is advised to be an experienced and active player to succeed with Serbia.
3. Turkey
Turkey is an underestimated beast. It has four coastal cities with a capital in the center of the county. Turkey may be challenging if you are a beginner. While attacking Syria, there is a slim chance you will get backstabbed by Greece. There are two strategies to conquer the Middle East fast. If you have them, the first strategy is to make a strong air force with strike fighters and elite attack aircraft. The second strategy is only to build recon vehicles for the early game. Recon vehicles are stronger than motorized infantry. The best stack for conquest is eight recon vehicles, one motorized infantry, and one infantry officer.
2. Iran
Iran is the only nation in the Middle East that has seven homeland cities. With Iran, you will have the best economy in your surrounding area. However, you will have two fronts. Firstly, because of a possible attack from Afghanistan, you will want to fortify the city of Birjand with six, seven, or even ten motorized infantries. Also, you must build an underground bunker in Birjand to boost your defensive abilities in the city. Then, focus all your manpower on the Iraq front. Once Iraq has been defeated, you will want to level up your arms industries and build an air force in your capital. A level two naval base in Bandar Abbas is advised because it will allow you to build a small navy to take control of the Persian Gulf. Corvettes have also been buffed recently, giving them an attack range of 100 and a significantly boosted speed, so it is advised that corvettes be mobilized.
1. Germany
Germany is the beast of Europe. The country also has seven homeland cities. Especially in Germany, you will not want to leave your back unprotected. In the early game, you will want to make two waves of recon vehicles. With those recon vehicles, you will want heavy recon divisions in Frankfurt, Munich, and Berlin. These cities are all gateways for France, Austria, and Poland to invade you. Before attacking anyone, you will want to make strike fighters in Berlin. It is pretty much guaranteed that Poland, Austria, or France will think about attacking you. Their first mistake will be attacking Frankfurt, Munich, or Berlin. Due to your heavy recon divisions, they will lose so many units in those cities. Once their attacking units have been defeated, attack them with a full stack of 10 units, including the units in the city that have been attacked. When the counterattack starts resupply the attacked city with motorized infantry. With that stack, you will disseminate the attacker, quickly sweeping their homeland cities.
