Let's talk about games we won in very short periods of time.
What was your shortest game (that you actually won), or at least, survived in?

8 days Clash of Nations coalition victory
See if you can beat that Carking
My best so far is a 7 day Blitzkrieg, victory by retirement haha 
I've never experienced a swift victory per se.
The fastest I've ever conquered a nation (not counting tiny, scrappy AI nations with fewer than five provinces) is Mongolia in a HWW game I'm in, by sharing my map with him, letting him do much of the heavy lifting in crushing the USSR, and then moving all my troops into his cities and declaring war when the opportunity presented itself. In 30 hours or so he was reduced to an outpost in Rekjavik that was later captured by Britain.
8 day CoN
Maybe if I assembled the right team I could, but it would be difficult Panjim.
I mean that is true. Once I have taken over the world, I can begin my not so evil plans! Muhahaha! But until then I just make enough tanks and planes to invade the AmericasโฆLady Aragosta wrote:
Your goals are a lot nobler than mine. I've never thought past becoming a vast continent-spanning power, and spend far more time on production facilities and industry than anything else.I assume that my first duty as a ruler is to maintain the status quo for everyone to the greatest degree possible, even on front lines, which means stopping other nations from capturing too many cities, and I can worry about civilian-specific needs when I've established world peace and ensured that my infrastructure isn't going to get bombed in a week's time.
About a month ago, Z00mZ00m and I took on the Pacific Map and won as a coalition of two, game ended going into the 11th day. We were Korea and South Manchukuo. No gold use, diplomacy resource scams, or map share/backstabbing shenanigans either. Just a lot of activity, solid planning and partnership.
EDIT: About a year ago, we ended a 100 player speed map going into the 15th day. Similar, no shenanigans either, but we did jump in with an alliance of 5.
What was the rationale behind playing countries that start with a border? That would severely hamper optimal expansion, especially without backstabbing. Particularly as Korea's only got two playable neighbours.6thDragon wrote:

A border with an active player that you don't have to defend in the early game is a powerful thing. It allows you to focus your expansion in one direction and continue expanding in that direction, if all goes well. I was Korea and started attacking Khab right away to secure his border while he started expanding south, if I remember correctly.Lord Crayfish wrote:

my shortest victory was in 5 days, it was an ava so idk if it counts
Nah, AvA games are a different animal. I won an AvA game once with only 13 kills; the other team conceded just as I was about to drop a 20 stack...jefin b wrote:

HWW solo victory on day 10 (finished this week).
America Homefront, day 12.
Clash of Nations, day 8.
World at War, don't remember, probably around day 13-16.
Solo victory as whom? I am guessing pan-Asian or German Empire?z00mz00m wrote:

USA
This was with an active Japan and an active Germany.
Japan was less skilled and gave up after he lost his starting navy.
Still, it took some work, and killing Germany took a LOT of work.
Cheesing some clash of nations can get you a solo win by day 4 by retirement. I got the required 600 by day 10 or smth if I rember.
Road to war is even easier, can get a solo within the week.
WaW coalition win, the fastest one I got was day 14/15 approx, I was Japan and got an UBERSTRONK PROFESSIONAL ally West yakutia who steamrolled till Europe and I attacked America by the end.
Some other games won near 3 weeks in waw ig.
I am not that active anymore.
Now I am opting for a coalition game in a pac map. We are 1000 VPs day 8 tho.
Wait a second I may have done something like that with retiring in day 6/7โฆ I have a memory of something like that in the back of my headโฆKarl von Krass wrote:

my first round was a retirement win on day 4. Clash of nations is no bragging point, particularly Retirement winsCarking the 6th wrote:
