17 Jan 24 UTC | Spring, 1860: Hello again! |
18 Jan 24 UTC | Spring, 1860: Does anyone ever beat you in these games? |
18 Jan 24 UTC | Spring, 1860: Yes, I get beaten quite often, I would guess my victory rate on this map is somewhere around 60% |
18 Jan 24 UTC | Autumn, 1860: lol - I thought you were the master of this map - I have never even given you a competitive game - let's see how this one goes - different strategy but I haven't thought it too far out |
18 Jan 24 UTC | Autumn, 1860: I have played around 200 games on this map and I have been beaten only once in a scenario where the opponent has gotten 2 builds in the first year and I 3. I think it's the best strategy to bounce in Ketucky and then go for three centers. (I accidentally didn't go there this time) |
18 Jan 24 UTC | Autumn, 1860: It might be a good strategy against a player you consider superior to try to generate situations in which one has to take a guess in the beginning. If luck is on your side, you then might start with an advantage. |
18 Jan 24 UTC | Autumn, 1860: And the general broad strategy on this map is to not let the other player encircle you or break the front line. That's the number 1 priotity. Also try to block the other players builds if possible. Don't take centers that are far away in the beginning, as you need as many troops as possible at the front. Some time an unit might become free and it then can roam around and collect centers. |
18 Jan 24 UTC | Autumn, 1860: which is what just happened - lol not necessarily lucky, but at least not starting at a disadvantage |
18 Jan 24 UTC | Autumn, 1860: If both have only 2 build that even things out. My unit in WV is now an annoying factor to you as there are many guesses. |
18 Jan 24 UTC | Spring, 1861: I thought about that move - If I had have dislodged the WV unit would the tap on WDC still have worked? |
18 Jan 24 UTC | Autumn, 1861: Yes, taps always work |
18 Jan 24 UTC | Autumn, 1861: Interesting start here |
30 Jan 24 UTC | Spring, 1869: Well played! I think |
03 Feb 24 UTC | Autumn, 1870: still not too sure of myself, but this has been a fun game |
13 Feb 24 UTC | Spring, 1874: This is an interesting one, troops spread out with still no clear winner. |
13 Feb 24 UTC | Spring, 1874: I'd say you have an advantage |
22 Feb 24 UTC | Autumn, 1876: I was doing OK when I had you bottled up and you had trouble building and getting fleets out - now that you broke that logjam, I am pretty sure I am finished |
26 Feb 24 UTC | GameMaster: Union voted for a Concede. If everyone (but one) votes concede the game will end and the player _not_ voting Concede will get all the points. Everybody else will get a defeat. |
