I have learned from example of other players. When there is an opportunity to advance in a game to take it.
Perhaps I have gone to far.
When playing and setting a truce with another player. I am stead fast in keeping that truce. The player can have i troop on the truce region. While I could have 120 troops on the opposing region.
Case in point.
Truce between 1 of my regions with 120 troops. With 1 troop on 1 region and 172 troops on another region. Of the player the truce was with. I take and finish my turn. All is copacetic. When returning to take my next turn. I come to find no more 172 troops on that border. Instead there are 1 troop on each region I had the truce with by an invading player. (Who's turn is 4 players before mine) Also the player (who's turn is before mine) I had the truce with invaded the player that invaded the 2 regions with the truce on the other side of the map.
This not only left the player the truce was with severely weakened and also left the 2 regions in invading players possession.
Seeing all this there was an opportunity for me to gain new regions and spoils with my 120 troops. This is exactly what I did. Taking the player out of the game and gaining new regions with spoils.
At this point I also had to take a region with my invading troops. This region and another of my region had a truce with the same player. The taking of that region was with my invading troops from what was a non-truce region.
The way I saw the map when it was my turn. Our truce was no longer in effect with prior invading troops on said troop regions. The other region with a truce was not invaded by my opposing region. Rather it was taken by my invading troops.
My question is. Did I do something I wasn't suppose to by invading? If I did. Than what is the sense in playing if opportunities can not be capitalized on.
