It has been a trick trying to find time to work on it while balancing school and work.

just took my turn. it was a tough one for me. i feel like i am inching closer to getting on the level playing field with kratos. not there yet though... plus pesky emperor is in now flanking my larger armies. i hope he isn't thinking of doing something really unstrategic right now.

i positioned my ...

I am debating on a 7th country. As for territories, that's next, depending on how crazy work is.

That 11 bonus is going to be what wins you this game.

I know I'm pretty much out of the game, unless a massive amount of luck occurs. Red is definitely the dominant leader here so, with 11 bonus armies a turn. No one else has that kind of strength.

Since I have resigned myself to losing, I've taken a look at my habits in playing. I do like to have ...

I know it isn't Kratos. It just doesn't make sense the strategy. Yellow could go straight through a lot of Western US and I don't see that being the case for what Kratos was going to do. It's very strange how this weekend has gone and how it might have gone.

Well, he just did wreck both his and my bonus. Initially, I thought that red was going to continue against yellow as yellow was the more immediate threat to red and blue being the second immediate, I felt that I would have a turn to build up. Sadly, that did not happen. So 4 less armies for red's ...

I had thought of this before but didn't persue it. I did find a lot of info for the Celtic tribes for some of the areas. I'll go find it and post it for you.

Still not much for me, just building up. Holding my own.

Just trying to build up pretty much.

I think the dice gods have betrayed me though. Not just this game but my others, my dice rolls are garbage. Driving me nuts.

Still, I prefer this to the center and it looks like Blue might get that. Red is pretty powerful. Yellow could be right up there ...

Course, red just came and did some good damage to me.

Moving to the Tropics was an interesting strategy, but now I'm moving up Eastern US and Mexico. It will be tough going, but at least there are still some bits in Central US too. It's interesting to say the least.

To be extremely complicated, I first took out blue's bonuses and then decided that I'm going to do what is easiest for me and not move from a central position. So, we shall see what this does. At the least, it'll confuse a lot of people.

Here are my thoughts recently.

Now, I know both kratos and dr3w have said there was no alliance. I honestly don't have any concrete proof that they had one or not. What I do have is two players saying "if you do this, I'll do this." There would be something to worry about there as an opposing ...

I see that dr3w and kratos are now an alliance so I am hoping that myself, J0057, and klupar will end that alliance quickly. Good idea guys, but now your targets.

It definitely has taken a shape so I think the main conflict will begin. Now things will get VERY interesting.

Oh. I got all of Central US now.

I know I didn't post anything last night during my turn, but here's the run down.

1. Took Michigan and made sure that I only need one more area so that I can take Central U.S.

2. Took Saskatchewan. Klupar right now can put out 8 armies a turn and that worries me. If I can slow him down any ...

More fortifying. Mainly against Red. Yellow worries me. All ready has a bonus and is looking good to get another.

Still pretty much in defense mode. I don't like where red is putting forces and teal, well, teal has a good position right next to me. Yellow will be a threat in the future. Blue right now, I'm not to worried about.

And so the game has begun!

First off, I think there is some Conquer Club God out there that basically put all my armies into Central US AND let me have the first turn.

Right now, I'm just fortifying and making sure that I have a strong position for later in the game.

I decided to join after seeing Kenny-C's and really enjoying it. This should be interesting.

In that case, here are my thoughts.

Teal: It looks like your a step away from Canada. I did think that using your forces in Kentucky to help in that would do you well. It does mean you will lose the Eastern US, but with the bonuses you will get with Canada, I think that outweighs the loss. From ...

Here's a question to everyone in this game so far. If I give thoughts to each player, is that going to be okay? I don't want to just give, say, Kenny ideas and leave everyone out. But I also don't want to give anyone here and ideas if you do not wish it.

If it's open for anyone, I'll take Patrick.

Some thoughts on the subject.
