Conquer Club

I've played so many that I don't even remember, I know for a fact that I lost my first game because it was a private game with the e-tards that turned me into a cc-tard...

I started off real slow, but have been winning lately, I try to play against higher ranked players so that when I do luck up and win, I get a boatload of points...

I guess it's been working so far, I don't have many wins, usually hover around a 20% clip as far as games won are concerned, but have accumulated a decent rank for having been here 3 months, at least imo...

I've also started playing more escalating games because they don't take as long, I hate the 50s staring down 50s and 100s staring down 100s type of games, I've even seen games where players have 4,000+ armies on territories just staring back at each other, not fun imo...

I'm hearing all these people talking about how they win their first few games, and it makes me worried... until I remember that I've never played a popular world domination board game in my life. I guess I can use that as kind of an excuse to keep myself motivated.

I won my first game lol just too good

Looking back, it looks like I won my 7th game--a 3-person freestyle game on the Classic board. I think I've played a grand total of 10 freestyle games (if that) since ...

Yeah,but then you lost the next 200 ....j/k lol

Won my first game lol. It was a flute of course - just read the lines, played what i could and ended up centre stage. These things happen! Had to face the music afterwards, got accused of cheating...

o.o Rocket

Won the first of my four games, then promptly lost the next three. lmao. I'm still a newb, though.

I won the second of my games. And then some more, those were some good times.

I won my third game.

My first.

Dead is Benjimouse I think ?

or Switchsteiener/Sky K oh I forget

Not to mention Jonny Update

i didn't win til my 8th game. then my next win was at my 12th game (my first time playing owen), then i lost ALOT until my next win in a triples game (partnered with war ape - he had finally joined cc after playing warfish). gradually it got better. for a long time my husband outranked me and I considered myself a perma-private. that was before the new ranking system, i would have probably been a perma-cook with the new system.

My 10th completed game was my first win.

Won on my 5th (British Isles)

Lost my first, a team game.. that was before newbies were not allowed to join team games. Won my second one.

I noticed you have joined games with many different styles: quadruples, assassin, chained, no cards; you are also playing maps like Siege! Madness, Circus Maximus, which are all great; however, if your conquering experience comes from playing Risk, you may want to consider playing Classic with standard settings for a while. Once you've won a couple of games, you'll be better prepared to deal with any frustrations some people feel with new maps/styles.

I've never played Risk before, so its not a problem in any of these. I'm just trying a bunch of styles and maps to see what I'm good at. I'm also using that as my excuse for starting out so slowly.

Ops.. sorry..i just read this:

You're like a virgin.. first time I see one of those here... Look for one of those nice players who like giving advice.. maybe Wacicha, I think there was a thread about players adopting new players, or something like that..

Anyhow.. don't worry, you're doing great based on the circumstances.

3rd game. it was a 4 player, sequential, escalating cards, unlimited forts, on africa

I just won my first game. I'm so relieved. Assassin, no cards, no fog, unlimited, freestyle, on the Madness map. My ninth game.

Of course, a lot of that was luck. I still really need help. I think I'll look into the mentoring program, see if I can't make a habit of this.

I won my second game rather quickly after losing badly to my father, who had played for a long time before me. I was given a lot of tips, which almost certainly helped. I would recommend playing against people who you know or repeatedly playing the same people so that you can get to know each other and work with each other to learn a lot of the strategy of the game. Also i believe it is a good idea to read the forums looking for tips as there is a lot of good information.
