2015-01-03 21:57:59 - Logene: Alright!
2015-01-03 21:58:49 - Ishihara: sometimes you will want to attack a neutral in order to gain a bonus... but never attack them just because you can
2015-01-03 21:59:53 - Ishihara: now, that last attack... when you rolled as a 4 vs 1 against Stockholm, you rolled 3 dice versus my 1...
2015-01-03 22:00:14 - Logene: That's good of me right, higher chance to win?
2015-01-03 22:00:16 - Ishihara: but when you then rolled 3 vs 1, you only rolled two against my one... a good example of the attackers odds changing...
2015-01-03 22:00:27 - Ishihara: that was a better turn... :)
2015-01-03 22:00:47 - Ishihara: now, remember to end your turn before the timer runs out!
2015-01-03 22:01:00 - Ishihara: this is a speed game, so that timer in the upper right corner is all the time you have for your turn!
2015-01-03 22:01:03 - Logene: What are bonuses and how do I get them? Isn't it something about continents?
2015-01-03 22:02:46 - Ishihara: there are bonuses for continents... below this chat box, you can see something labeled "Continents Overview"... those are the bonuses for this map
2015-01-03 22:02:59 - Logene: Found it! =)
2015-01-03 22:03:00 - Ishihara: you already own the Oceania bonus (australia), which should be highlighted in red...
2015-01-03 22:03:14 - Ishihara: so when you start a turn, you get an extra +2 troops for owning that bonus...
2015-01-03 22:03:27 - Logene: Sweet!
2015-01-03 22:03:57 - Ishihara: well, not in my opinion... ;)
2015-01-03 22:04:52 - Ishihara: now, along the bottom of your screen, where you have your assault boxes, remember to END your turn and perform a reinforcement before your timer runs out!
2015-01-03 22:06:20 - Logene: Is there any way to see what you do?
2015-01-03 22:06:28 - Logene: I can't really follow the moves and troop movements x)
2015-01-03 22:06:43 - Logene: I saw that there were 5 troops in ontreal, now there is 1
2015-01-03 22:06:56 - Ishihara: this being a speed game, it is more difficult to follow because you have to keep refreshing the screen...
2015-01-03 22:07:14 - Ishihara: if you want, after this game is over, we can play a slower one and I can walk you through a few things...
2015-01-03 22:07:47 - Ishihara: and yes... I had a 5 on Montreal to try to take Reykjavik... I was trying to "break" your Europe bonus to keep you from getting that +5...
2015-01-03 22:07:59 - Ishihara: I was aggressive, rolling dice as a 3vs1 and 2vs1...
2015-01-03 22:08:42 - Logene: How do I move troops?
2015-01-03 22:08:51 - Logene: I have many in Delhi and ubai which Id like closer to borders
2015-01-03 22:09:50 - Ishihara: ok, do this for your turn... begin, and drop your troops on Stockholm...
2015-01-03 22:10:19 - Ishihara: attack Reykjavik, advancing all...
2015-01-03 22:10:50 - Ishihara: ok, now along the bottom of the screen, where you have your "Assault" options, hit the "End Turn" button...
2015-01-03 22:11:23 - Logene: wops
2015-01-03 22:11:46 - Ishihara: once you've ended your turn, you can send troops to another region if it's in a chain... so you can select to reinforce from Delhi to, say, London...
2015-01-03 22:12:07 - Logene: I see!
2015-01-03 22:12:19 - Logene: So I ran out of time every turn x)
2015-01-03 22:12:34 - Ishihara: yes... you were not getting your "spoils" card for bonus troops...
2015-01-03 22:12:43 - Ishihara: you have to properly end your turn to get that card...
2015-01-03 22:15:57 - Ishihara: now, your last turn was much better... dropped troops, attacked, ended and got your card... :)
2015-01-03 22:17:27 - Ishihara: now, for this turn, try dropping on Dakar and breaking into South America... this will "break" my bonus, costing me to lose my extra +2 troops...
2015-01-03 22:18:04 - Logene: wops!
2015-01-03 22:18:15 - Logene: Reinforced in the wrong direction
2015-01-03 22:18:32 - Ishihara: that's ok... you are also making it harder for me to break your Europe bonus every time...
2015-01-03 22:18:46 - Logene: That's what I was going for =)
2015-01-03 22:19:00 - Logene: Oh crap, missted the Istanbul Dakar link
2015-01-03 22:19:50 - Logene: Shit, right click removed assauklting wit my trooops
2015-01-03 22:20:02 - Ishihara: this map has a few backdoors to be careful about... in general, the bigger the bonus, the more ways it can be broken...
2015-01-03 22:20:23 - Ishihara: and mis-clicking is an easy mistake to make in this game... especially on these speed games where you are in a hurry...
2015-01-03 22:20:50 - Ishihara: when something happens like that, the best you can do is to move your troops and try again next turn... :)
2015-01-03 22:20:57 - Logene: There should be an intermittent, the only shoice was 3 min or 24 hours
2015-01-03 22:22:09 - Ishihara: the longest you can choose, when you are a premium member here, is for a round to take 5 minutes...
2015-01-03 22:30:53 - Ishihara: good game, Logene... :)
2015-01-03 22:31:10 - Logene: Thamls you too!
2015-01-03 22:32:12 - Ishihara: if you think you might stick around the website, find your way to the forums and a thread called SoC Training Grounds - the best place for a new player to get some help...
