2016-05-14 23:42:57 - Tiberius Maximus: blue will have to forgoe attacking las cruces if he wants to take down scranton unless of course green gets it
2016-05-15 18:16:05 - random21: i don't really plan on anything. the first round ended th is
2016-05-15 18:16:17 - random21: i think blue went, yellow went for me. and things were ok
2016-05-15 18:16:45 - random21: then i wasted in order, red turn, green turn, blue turn, all going for scranton as grey was going for +5 which I had to nip in the bud. and lost everything. at this point. strategy is out the window
2016-05-15 18:17:38 - random21: on my part, and for similar reason... you can start as many battles everywhere as you like, i can't stop them. but in general hitting neutrals like that... you are hitting neutrals... they aren't giving you immediate bonuses. so all you are doing is not
2016-05-15 18:17:48 - random21: attacking me. in a normal game, i would love to see that :D
2016-05-15 18:18:44 - random21: and no, in general my strategy would not have included going for blue bonus... even though in honesty if MA is viable, i might go for it
2016-05-15 18:20:20 - random21: even if you were saying that you were using your forting? to build stacks to attack neutrals.. that is still poor forts in beginning. in beginning of game forts can be used to do other things than fort teammates to attack 5 neutrals
2016-05-15 18:20:30 - random21: and none of your deployment
2016-05-15 18:21:46 - random21: in the end, these are the easiest games to lose. for some reason i also find them the most frustrating. when dice are not with you its one thing. when they are against you risk is just a funny looking game lol
2016-05-15 18:22:52 - random21: i would never take a neutral the way you might be hoping me to, i would just wait for you to waste the dice and men taking them and all you see is ? behind, and when you take, then i take back. ideally. i do take neutrals early on. but only when it means
2016-05-15 18:22:56 - random21: I've got the bonus
2016-05-15 18:23:10 - random21: then the 5 neutrals = +3 4 men etc to recoop
2016-05-15 18:47:09 - Tiberius Maximus: good advice and will remember next time - I was though also thinking that if I knocked the capital to a 3 but still had a 5 or 6 behind it u might be tempted to take it on the assumption that at most I had a 3 waiting thus making it pretty easy for me to
2016-05-15 18:47:51 - Tiberius Maximus: take it and hold since u would only have a 1 to counter etc
2016-05-15 18:48:28 - Tiberius Maximus: lets play a dubs on this map - interested?
2016-05-15 19:55:04 - random21: i would never take 3 neutrals. even if you tapped. no. i don't like dubs on this map. the map can be extremely unbalanced
2016-05-15 19:55:15 - random21: as i said, i would just wait for you to finish your attack
2016-05-15 19:55:55 - random21: if you left it with 5, 6 then stacked it next round... so be it. i would face a 10-11 stack afterwards. or whatever made it through. but the time you spend either forting or deploying to that neutral... you are not engaging me elsewhere on the map
2016-05-15 19:56:13 - random21: i would take that trade any day
2016-05-15 19:56:29 - random21: also saint paul really makes less sense
2016-05-15 19:56:45 - random21: if attacking from mineapolis... i could just take international falls
2016-05-15 19:56:58 - random21: if you attacked from eau claire.. green could just attack ashland
2016-05-15 19:57:06 - random21: so either way, the neutral attack was wasted
2016-05-15 19:57:51 - random21: there is no need for me to ever take saint paul. but again. this game is not ideal example as i lost 21 straight troops but the initial 3s on the territories around scranton
2016-05-15 19:58:15 - random21: things that look they might work.. in reality with a game where dice are decent for both sides, it just wouldnt
2016-05-15 19:59:09 - random21: i mean, not everything was bad. ID was good spot. grey working for PA was fine. its just scranton should have on average been destroyed. i lost 8 v 3 consecutively 3 times. got him to a 1 and he just rolled sixes or whatever
2016-05-15 19:59:31 - random21: i think one time you made it 4 actually, and i lost 10 v 4
2016-05-15 20:03:05 - Tiberius Maximus: um ok again good advice and it will make me better at it; so far I have had very good success on this map so hopefully I now will have more
2016-05-15 20:08:09 - Tiberius Maximus: opinion on me taking nashville? that was the same scenario wilth me moving troops along the path after I took the arkie bonus and I wanted to pressure yellow from 3 spots
2016-05-15 20:08:48 - Tiberius Maximus: I took the arkie bonus no losses so that left me a 6 to fort along
2016-05-15 20:09:10 - Tiberius Maximus: made no sense to leave it out of play
2016-05-15 20:11:49 - Tiberius Maximus: also on the decision to not go hard at yellow this last turn to break him was based on stopping a 3 bonus and picking it up for me and know absent miracle dice by u I woulld break the Ky bonus for sure whether by pink or teal
2016-05-15 20:12:37 - Tiberius Maximus: seems to me now yellow has devote all its resources to try and save KY and not anywhere else
2016-05-15 20:14:25 - Tiberius Maximus: I really did not want u to have the Mass bonus as it is too isolated and in trench my chance of breaking it especially once u took me off of bridgeport was slim to none
2016-05-15 20:15:35 - Tiberius Maximus: silver will now take penn dont u think?
2016-05-15 20:44:38 - random21: yeh, you cant criticize at this point. anything you do is fine from here... just how you want to win
2016-05-15 20:45:45 - random21: its only earlier on where improvements seemed more clear
2016-05-15 20:49:06 - random21: these suggestions are only valid for these settings
2016-05-15 20:50:50 - Tiberius Maximus: oh by no means am I criticizing u; rather just the opposite; I have tremendous respect for ur play and smarts on all CC maps; my form of questioning is only meant to evoke a debate along the line of socratic thinking
2016-05-15 20:58:09 - Tiberius Maximus: sorry for the misclick off of scranton; internet delays today
2016-05-15 21:23:36 - random21: no, i mean i can't criticize or comment on what you do... i mean forting arkansas to get on yellow border.
2016-05-15 21:23:41 - random21: there is no wrong play by you at this point
2016-05-16 18:06:26 - Tiberius Maximus: would u like to slow down the game to delay the loss? just let me know - I would be happy to accomodate u :)
2016-05-17 02:03:10 - random21: no no no, just busy in rl
2016-05-17 02:03:12 - random21: go ahead
2016-05-17 02:04:04 - random21: and u s a trench is not known for quick finishes. finishing a kc2 eurasia etc... can be done with a few turns of deploy by losing player, i can't finish this in one after noon . i don't have patience to sit there lol
2016-05-17 19:17:50 - Tiberius Maximus: it is going to take a long time to finish this one if u keep having dice of steel :(
2016-05-18 03:56:37 - random21: lol game will be over in a few roudns
2016-05-21 03:41:12 - Tiberius Maximus: GG send me an invite for a map and settings of your choosing
