You don't have to take all the bonus for yourself, do you?
If you park enough troops on the bonus to make it difficult to reclaim, a smart opponent will think twice about continuing to go after it. I think that's an assumption you've made, that A will commit more to ...

Re: Tactics: How does a 4 stack take two 3 stacks? here's ho

I find it odd that people try to refute this by bringing up different settings. Of course different settings will change tactics. We don't use universal settings anywhere over these games. If you play Manual, Automatic, Unlimited, No spoil, Nuclear, Chained, Adjacent, Freestyle, Sequential, 1 v 1 ...

Re: Tactics: How does a 4 stack take two 3 stacks? here's ho

I completely agree if your goal is to take a territory, and lower opponents territory adding to your own. But sometimes reducing counter play is also good. Imagine he is receiving 4. If you lower is 3 to a 1, he will have a 5 stack. If you just leave as is, and take the 1, he will have a 7 vs 3 ...

Re: looking for a student

I might interject here that as I understand it, the SoC was formed to prevent the advantages that HRP's (Higher Ranking Players) were taking of, of LRP's. No sooner would some one Join CC that they were played with for their score. Although this is a new angle it still seems like fishing or farming ...

"are attacked" jefjef. if your style with words was as good as your math skills, you would have known. Or then again, maybe not.

bottom line, yours is only a very slight deviation from what can be expected. 1 dice per 1000 means the 999 times you can expect to roll as many 6's as 1's ect.. pretty ...

Re: Containment

Just, I think you're on the right track.

The fact is that this happens in some form in quite a lot of Escalating games, especially on smaller maps: People take up positions that weaken the positions of other players. (What's this? Players in a zero-sum game actively work against each other's ...

Re: The bad luk of dices!

I suggest the game reinvent their randomizer to be a little more realistic. It's very unlikely for someone to outroll someone, with 1 dice, 10 times (it's happened to me) who is using 3 dice.

Re: How Should I Ask for a Truce?

Not to mention that you'll leave yourself wide open if you go after their biggest stack.

Unless you're much more powerful than them, in which case you have little to no need of their collaboration.

Re: Classic map, Terminator

Dubai/Delhi is numero uno. Chicago a close second. After that, look for places with lots of borders so you have options for taking cards and so you can strike easily when the time is right.
This can work isn't a perfect strategy. While Dubai and Chicago together are a great combo, they're less ...

Re: How low can you go?

It's possible to get very close to a 1% winrate and approach a score of 1 if you play with settings that you are just no good at. For example, attacking with all your troops on the map and using up every single one you get, especially in a no spoils game, is a way you can lose if/when you don't know ...
