Neutral territories

[Grog368]

So, I've started my first game today. I'm in a 2 player game, with half the map covered by neutral (3 troop) spaces. My opponent seems to keep attacking them in odd places across the entire board, but I'm only do it to clear out continents.

Only a few rounds in, the neutrals have not attacked me. So do they actually attack players? Or do they just stand there as obstacles?

To win.... Do I have to kill the player, AND the neutrals too? Or just the player?

Thanks.

Neutrals do not attack. You do not need to kill the neutrals in order to win.
Hope that answers your question

Often it is best to totally ignore neutrals. You can only win by beating your opponant, so if he spends troops on killing neutrals, and you on killing him., effectivly you are stronger and will more likely win.

Currently an idea/suggestion is being thought of that allows a killing army of neutrals. This is not going to happen very soon though so dont kill the neutrals unless you have to. They are like the swiss in wars..

Thanks guys! Yes that answers my question, and validates what I was doing. It's only a few rounds in, and I've got 30 troops, he's got 11. And it's my turn w/ a one of each spoils to turn in. I'm looking pretty good.

I'm probably going to kill only one more neutral that prevents me from owning N.A., and then just focus solely on my opponent.

going off of what SirSebstar said, this is the thread which is on final call for ideas of infected neutrals: http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=40294
but as of right now, these neutral players are only obsticles and dont have to be destroyed in order to win the game

I see no problem with this, if you had to kill them to win the neutral player would win and then how many points would everyone lose?

[SirSebstar]

It will be seen that infected neutrals cannot win any games and so the question of points lost does not arise
