The Africa map works best when you are playing team games because of the various angles that one can build. The map also works well with 8 player escalating games and assassin games. Sequential 1vs1 games are less advisable because of the first player always getting a +5 deploy, giving the player that goes first a significant advantage. If manual deploys are used in a two or three player game there is a 30 troops deploy that can decimate opponents before they have a chance to start. Manual deploys are therefore only suggested for games of four or more, where manual deployments are between 10 troops and 22 troops and must be placed to defend in several strategic locations.
How to play Africa show: Two player
In a two player game on Africa, it is a good idea to keep count of the amount of regions your opponent has. If you try and keep your opponent down to below 15 regions, his deployment is reduced which is very beneficial. You should meanwhile, make sure that your opponent doesn't get too strong around the easier to capture zones, such as Southeast Coast Horn of Africa Kenya Zimbabwe
show: Team games
In team games on Africa, the best strategy would be to aim for either the Southeast Coast Horn of Africa
show: Flat rate
Flat rate games have a tendency to develop into build up games on Africa. The majority of people attempt to hold the Southeast Coast West Coast Horn of Africa South Africa
show: Escalating games
In regards to large player escalating games, the only possible zone bonus that could be picked up is the Southeast Coast Benin Nigeria West Coast Congo Central Republic
show: Additional Notes
The nuclear spoils setting can rebalance an otherwise one-way game by taking out an opponent’s defensive stack or a region that eliminates a zone bonus, so strategy might change accordingly. While obtaining one of those small bonus zones is still effective, dispersing troops to several regions instead of building one large troop stack; or striking for a region count advantage instead of a bonus zone; could be wise moves in the nuclear setting.
