Progressive Era Units in Industrial Age!

19 Mar

In this guide I will show you how to get the remaining Progressive Era (PE) units after the initial PE units you can get when moving up to the Industrial Age (INA). Unlike the INA map and the start of PE map, this part is very straight forward. Some of the quests have some tough recuirements, but in terms of the map you can pretty much do what you want! If you wanna see me fight all the PE provinces, check out this video:

In total you will be able to get the following higher age units:

Progressive Era: 2 Units* + 3 Conscripts + 1 Armored Car

*This guide is based on getting the 2 Tanks, 2 Snipers or 2 Conscripts as your first PE units. If you decided to get the Rapid Fire Cannon as your first unit, you can get either 2 more Snipers or 2 more Tanks, please refer to UBERhelp's wonderful guide for more info :)

Goods Required (excluding technologies)

PE Story Quests: 20 Gasoline, 20 Tinplate, 20 Machine Parts

Technologies Required

From First Part of PE Story (going for 2 Tanks)

1 Technology that is not military or expansion
1 Decoration Technology
3 Technologies (any)

This Part:

Law and Order*
1 Military Technology

* You need 3 Police Stations for this part of the PE Story Quests. You can either get them from researching Law and Order, quite far into the INA tech tree. Alternatively, if you are low on spare technologies, you can try to get these from events or daily challenges. It is not possible to get them from all events, so I would check if it's possible in the next one, and make your descicion based on that and how patient you are :)

Continent Maps Overview

First of all, let me repeat my recommendations for getting the 2 PE Tanks while you are in CA. These are not the only units you can get, instead you can get either 2 Conscripts, 2 Snipers or 1 Rapid Fire Cannon (check out UBERhelp1's guide on the us forums for more info).

Progressive Era Map Overview

This guide is based on getting the 2 Tanks, if you got any of the other units instead there might be a few differences. In any case, the rest of the PE map is very straight forward. You can fight and/or negotiate ALL the remaining sectors (including the remaining Kriegreich sectors, you only needed to negotiate 1 for the story quest). You also need to take all remaining PE sectors. So:

Acquire ALL remaining PE provinces, however you want (fight and/or nego), in any order you want.

Some quests might be in a different order, but nothing that matters for completing the story.

Progressive Era Story Quests (after blocker)

Below you'll find a list of all the PE story quests after the tech blocker from my last guide. The order might be slightly different depending on the order you take provinces, but if you took pretty much all before starting the quests you should get this order. In any case, as you will see the order doesn't really matter, most of these quests are quite straightforward :)

11) So! This is where we left off from the last guide, you now need to build 2 police stations (the other options are PE roads)! I already went over this in detail in the setup section, so refer to that :) For a later quest you need to have 3 police stations, so if you want to complete that more easily keep the two police stations you just built.

2) Here you need to research a military technology and recruit 10 of any INA unit. You could build an INA barrack if this takes too long, or you could try (like me) to get the units from GBG, GE and PvP Arena. This quest might be different depending on your earlier choices. If you have Declaration of War instead you'll probably get some other quests later on as well.

3) Gain 1200 happiness. BA Monuments are a good way to do it, but any decoration, road or culture buildings will work. Event buildings often give happiness, so you could try timing the placement of that for this quest.

4) Acquire any 3 sectors, I did this on the final PE province as that's the one I had gotten to, but any 3 sectors on any map will work. You can fight / negotiate, up to you. If you have not taken Kriegreich you'll get that as the requirement for this task instead.

5) Gather the 200k supplies and pay 20 gasoline.

6) Pay the resources. There is a second version of this quest where you have to research a culture tech instead. I've read conflicting information on the conditions for which version you'll get, but if you followed my path of negotiating a sector for Kriegreich, then fighting the rest, you should get the easy version of this quest.

7) Acquire Omoien and scout the province to the southeast (Sud). I had already completed both ahead of time. Doesn't matter if you fight and/or negotiate.

8) Infiltrate 5 sectors or take the entire province, the quest will be completed if you take all sectors. I had taken all ahead of time. Doesn't matter if you fight and/or negotiate.

9) Here you need to have 3 police stations, so either build 3 or if you already have 2 build the final one. You need to have all at the same time in your city. You've already unlocked old walls, so build 5 of those.

10) Here I recommend negotiating a sector unless you can afford to research a tech. This doesn't have to be a PE sector, so you can negotiate a previous era sector if you've saved some of those :)

11) Acquire Sud, I had already completed this ahead of time. Doesn't matter if you fight and/or negotiate.

12) Pay the goods, if you don't have all you need to trade for them.

13) Acquire the three provinces, I had done this ahead of time. Doesn't matter if you fight and/or negotiate. The next couple of quests might be different / in a different order depending on which provinces you've acquired, but it doesn't really matter, just work your way through the map / quests :)
