I've been playing the warlords for the 3rd time, and the only time i've won a border conflict is when there are no enemy division on the target province, everytime i did a border conflict against let's say 6v6 division, i rarely won the conflict, and everytime i tried to escalate it to war, the event doesn't even happen at all

If you build your units with border conflicts in mind you can cheese it pretty easily, Rimmy did a video about it:

I don't know about escalating, it's possible that's bugged but I never even try, just conquer all of China with border conflicts and you don't need to escalate them.

The border conflict seems to be all about soft attack. I tested iSorrowproductions cheese template (1INF 4ART), and it works as well as anything. 40 width would be pointless overkill and leads to horrible attrition.

i've tried it, it is indeed work, but there are something that tickle me apart, there are some events where i've won the border conflict but i didn't get the province at all, maybe it's a bug considering WtT just being released a week ago
