Does it matter that this will go on for some time?
I've just finished round 9, in just a couple of days, so each round is fast.

But of course, if it drags on too long, it would be possible to base more rounds on random maps. That way those who are more alround would get the edge, I think.
I do ...

Some stats:
Players
round1: 2507
round2: 2057 -> 82% of round1
round3: 1687 -> 82% of round2
round4: 1398 -> 83% of round3
round5: 1147 -> 82% of round4
round6: 932 -> 81% of round5
round7: 776 -> 83% of round6

so about 82% advancing each round.
if we continue like that the winner will be ...

Hi,
let's make the next rounds foggy!

I don't like the neutralization. This is why i did it randomly.
Randomized picked players are:
bragsie
Dukasaur
Fuzzy316
Tupence

Well these can be easy adjust.
In some future rounds,Highlander can put new rule that each player have 3 chance for advance,but need to join one by one game, and if win first no more join a game.Winner in first game will move forward,and Loser will play second game.
Example:
you have 600 players ...

waterloo trips:

[game]9462024[/game]

Well i think things shall end slightly faster then that. It's not hard to win a game when you have 3 tries, but as things go on the less skilled players tend to disappear. Some players will be finding it harder and harder to get by. i say another 15 or so rounds

I don't think so. Some more math ...

Some stats:
Players
round1: 2507
round2: 2057 -> 82% of round1
round3: 1687 -> 82% of round2
round4: 1398 -> 83% of round3
round5: 1147 -> 82% of round4
round6: 932 -> 81% of round5
round7: 776 -> 83% of round6

who joins with me?

my guess is kings court

Did only read the last 3 pages...
but why are the starting positions so unfair? In some positions there are two villages in some we only have one. starting in a corner is way better. all starting positions should be equal.

I did not read the hole topic so maybe it was already mentioned.

There could be a pat situation if one player controls the archers and the other one(s) do have territs in the council. The archer player is stronger but he can not win cause he can't attack.

I'm in!

in, please!

sounds good to me, nice suggestion.

although maybe

over 3000 bronze
over 5000 silver
over 10000 gold

indeed hells! how could you forget that Blitzaholic would not have gold if it was like you suggested

The idea seems a bit lame to me. The medals do anyway only show how many games are played ...

AWESOME IDEA!!!

its one of the very rare good ideas in this forum!!! But I think we will need some adjustments: In my oppinion spoils should be worth a bit more than in your proposal so that gameplay will be a bit more like esc.. Cashing a flush should be worth ~25 because its so rare and you also ...

congrats! you prooved that your strategy worked well. you'll win more games soon!

i am willing to elaborate if you pm me.
also follow Koganosi's advice and try to enroll in the society of cooks. they offer great learning potential.

other then that. freestyle?!? yuk

i disagree. it's a decent strategy and you are likely to win like this.

you always get a spoil when you finish a turn in which you conquered or bomarded a territory

the "only" "advantage" (taking the first turn) ist a very big advantage that decides the game in 80% of cases if there are decent players...
Let the derefferd troops as they are. its a great rule!

i guess there are less than 5 players who played 500 games on one map 1vs1 seq.
Seems to be very boring... my best is world 2.1 with 23/33 games and 69%. I lost a few in a tourney where the enemies play better than in public games but I never lost when I went first.

GENERAL advise (this might not be good in every situation but in 95% of the cases)

- don't attack neutrals
- break the bonus of your opponent
- only go for a bonus if you are likely to hold it
- attack as much as possible (but only with three dice. sometimes 2 vs 1 if you knock down his bonus)

if ...

everyone has says he has the best dice. but I REALLY have
who can top 38,73% double kills on 3vs2 and 67,81% wins on 3 vs 1???
I roll 5s + 6s more than anything else! my opponent rolls 1s more than anything else
