2022-10-17 02:20:48 - Lingfish: snap taken - I've never played this map that I can recall but hey why not.
2022-10-17 02:30:24 - josko.ri: gl thanks for joining
2022-10-17 02:30:37 - josko.ri: imo the most strategic map on cc
2022-10-17 02:34:19 - josko.ri: if you never played let me explain basics
2022-10-17 02:34:46 - josko.ri: bonuses you can see by yourself, usually people get plus 1 in rare occassions bigger bonus than that as it is hard to hold
2022-10-17 02:35:37 - josko.ri: regions bonuses are plus 12 drop is you have 36 or more regions. if you have lower than 36 regions then usual deploy count as 1 deploy per 3 regions (minimum 3 deploy)
2022-10-19 03:50:01 - Lingfish: its kinda extremely warped towards first mover on these settings though right?
2022-10-20 07:48:04 - josko.ri: not so agree. check my game i am mostly playing vs players ranked more than 3000 and winning almost all games, including with second starts
2022-10-20 07:48:24 - josko.ri: first start is advantage but strategy is main factor
2022-10-21 03:59:36 - Lingfish: I guess I can see that with the Max 12 limit in place. tbh I'm finding it too big to focus on as I struggle for time. There's a few basic principles in play here though right?
2022-10-21 04:00:36 - Lingfish: i.e. with unlimited forts never leave troops behind as they have more value on offence, unless they're defending a bonus?
2022-10-21 04:01:22 - Lingfish: - try and join up terts so you can fort to the next player in your team and built a stack to do immediate damage
2022-10-21 04:02:21 - Lingfish: - also, are you targetting one or two of my colours particularly to try and get them below 36 and completely ignoring taking other colours?
2022-10-21 13:11:19 - josko.ri: busy today wil answer later
2022-10-22 09:11:12 - josko.ri: i usually target two players, but it might be cases when target one player works better
2022-10-22 09:11:28 - josko.ri: yes use as much troops in offense is right
2022-10-22 09:11:51 - josko.ri: and take care to supply your targeted players with enough forts from others
2022-10-22 09:12:18 - josko.ri: wow you played second and have 45 troops more in this moment
2022-10-22 09:12:41 - josko.ri: but you took too much on orange and silver, at expense of not taking by pink cyan
2022-10-22 09:12:47 - josko.ri: i took with my players equally
2022-10-22 09:13:18 - josko.ri: will be an interesting game, lets see if i can catch up minus 45 troops after round 1
2022-10-22 09:13:44 - josko.ri: also skill is how to choose who will be targets, it is definitely not random choice
2022-10-22 09:16:06 - josko.ri: i am sure that 6 on F10 can take 3 regions of single ones if used in attack, which would increase your deploy by 1, equally like holding F10 that you are sitting on
2022-10-22 22:34:43 - Lingfish: yeh I've let Pink and Cyan go badly - wasn't really paying attention to that first couple moves
2022-10-26 17:21:27 - Lingfish: well - still a 40 troop cushion but I'm not sure I like the way this game is headed right now...
2022-10-28 19:27:35 - Lingfish: gg - was too late by the time I worked out how to play this one. Learned a lot there though
2022-10-28 19:28:09 - Lingfish: Its a pain in the arse of a map to concentrate on but I can see why you like it
2022-10-28 19:28:36 - Lingfish: do you always prefer to play it on these settings?
2022-10-29 03:42:15 - josko.ri: i can play another settings also, i can also do 1v1 if you like, can invite you. 1v1 is less of advanced strategy thninging than these setting and more of very basic strategy
2022-10-29 04:00:36 - josko.ri: invited you to a 1v1 game, escalating sunny, , as i said play is much more on basics that these settings
2022-10-30 00:45:10 - Lingfish: I actually quite like the poly games, this map takes a bit of getting used to but it could grow on me
2022-10-31 00:48:00 - josko.ri: ok if you like poly, i may invite you one more like this but poly 3 57 starting regions, so a lot effort is needed ntil someone goes below 36
2022-11-01 17:59:22 - Lingfish: gg
