Generally, if I am playing with a colonel (I am currently just shy of captain), I will defer to their strategy. I pretty much do this with majors, too. Of course, this makes me feel like privates/sergeants should take my advice if I have any.
Thoughts?
In doubles and triples, do you defer to higher ranks?

"Look, Chalmers, let's understand each other... I don't like you."
most higher level players i've been on teams with have been really polite, and i almost always have a plan in team games. It's usually the same as theirs, and when it's not it always works out anyway.
But no, i don't think anyone should follow my advice unless they're being moronic, and i wont follow anyone else's unless it benefits the team and not just the one giving orders.

This makes sense. I mean, I don't expect lower ranks to follow my advice if I say something completely asinine. However, I have to admit that higher ranks (and I am thinking especially of eddymush) have enough experience to have a better grasp of the strengths of the boards. If a colonel tells me to take a certain country or fort him somewhere, I am likely to follow the directive (though I might ask why just so I understand).Zackismet wrote:most higher level players i've been on teams with have been really polite, and i almost always have a plan in team games.

When I was slightly lower, I did. But now I'm beginning to realize (especially after having beaten quite a few of the higher ranking folk) that they're not necessarily smarter or better. I've also had a few bad experiences, one especially where I teamed up with a *VERY* high ranked member who played like shit. So, yeah, I suppose my answer is no.

I defer to whoever's not listening to my strategy, lol. Usually everyone goes with a grab a continent as fast as you can, and we'll all attack and fort each other from wherever we are strategy, or (usually when i play with high ranking players) cram one player chock full of units and use him as a tank
