05 Dec 16 UTC | [Russia]:Good game, everyone. I was surprised when Pacific Russia moved on me when they did. I thought that it would have come a little later than it did and we would have each had a shot at a solo. I wonder if I didn't take so much of North America if we might have worked together a little longer. Might have been smart to move when they did. Thank you all for a very fun game. |
05 Dec 16 UTC | [Libya]:Well played Steve! |
06 Dec 16 UTC | [Pacific-Russia]:Great alliance we had there. Taking the American Pacific coast wasn't "jumping" on you Russia but keeping the odds even. You were in a better position to solo so I moved into Kaz to hold my share of the continent. |
06 Dec 16 UTC | [Russia]:I can't blame you for not letting me solo. It was a surprisingly good game for a gunboat. Africa was smart to stick together. Doesn't always happen that way. |
06 Dec 16 UTC | [Russia]:I imagine it was probably pretty boring to be one of the African powers in this one for the last couple of years. |
06 Dec 16 UTC | [Libya]:You got that right, lol |
06 Dec 16 UTC | [Pacific-Russia]:^^ |
06 Dec 16 UTC | [Ghana]:Thanks Sweet. Don't believe I've ever won from Africa in a World game. GG all. |
07 Dec 16 UTC | [Pacific-Russia]:I got 2 Kenyan solo victories, and 1 with Ghana. With Russia I found them the easiest countries. |
07 Dec 16 UTC | [Libya]:Kenya the best country in Africa and I also have soloed twice with Kenya. |
07 Dec 16 UTC | [Europe]:I have soloed with Ghana, I consider it the strongest position on this map along with India. Those are who I see succeed the most. Argentina a very distant third. |
07 Dec 16 UTC | [Pacific-Russia]:Argentina is a good one, very good result with Québec too, I guess it also depends on the player's style. My worst pick has been Europe, on and on. |
07 Dec 16 UTC | [Europe]:Europe, USA, South Africa are death sentences. Best strategy is to set all holds and pray for a quick demise so you can focus on other games. |
07 Dec 16 UTC | [USA]:I won once with South Africa, but that was more that players CD as I went north. |
08 Dec 16 UTC | [Europe]:So I just started a new game and got Libya. What should the ideal opening be? I'm thinking Egypt-Med, Libya-Algeria, and Sudan-Ethiopia. |
08 Dec 16 UTC | [Pacific-Russia]:gunboat? |
08 Dec 16 UTC | [Pacific-Russia]:In a gunboat I'd rather let Ethiopia empty in the first spring to get an alliance message to Kenya, while I use my units against Ghana + protect the Med, and hold Egypt. If not a gunboat, it depends of course of the diplomacy between you and NE. |
08 Dec 16 UTC | [Europe]:It's gunboat. |
