The purpose of this thread is to rate the game of the player above you.A person will post any 1v1 game were they lost and the person below will offer advice, criticism for next time and rating. Learning and teaching the warlight community one post at a time. Huzzah!!! NO LOTTERY GAMES.If you do so then the person below is permitted to ignore you and offer their advice on the person above you if they want.

I will begin this mixture of a forum game, learning and teaching.
My most recent 1v1 loss: http://warlight.net/MultiPlayer?GameID=5115505

Note: It does not necessarily have to be medium earth. Secondarily the thread is only about 1v1 not because of a master race bias but because team games defeats can be caused by team mates and other factors out of the posters control and it's not about ffas because they are lot more complex and longer to explain your defeat and can also feature factors out of your control and may not garner as much interest as a majority of forum goers play mostly 1v1s.I am also well aware 1v1 may feature factors out of your control but the majority of such factors tend to be affected by picks which can be helped by a member of the community.Apologies for a long footnote but this was needed so as to not spark any arguments or questions.

You didnt get a turn 2 bonus, you incorrectly guessed where chris' picks were about 4 times.

@piggy
My thoughts:
Turn 4 was a ballsy move that didn't end up very well for you so the chips were down from there, you lost all income in the short term and can pretty much count on his 3rd pick having decent expansion options.
You let him have SA & CA too cheaply, CA he only lost 3 armies for the whole bonus -> he keeps a stack advantage there and gets your income for free.

@Marksman
I'm assuming you mean the game you lost against Frank;
Taking your first bonus with 4v2s suggests you didn't realise 3v2 is always successful on those settings. I recommend using the analyze tool, especially at the start of a game with unfamiliar settings so you can quickly work out what attacks always hit/fail and then put your armies to best use. Also get used to using "transfer only" or "attack only" - I noticed a couple of turns (e.g. turn 9 in Nidge) where you crash your armies into his stack after he's taken the territory.
Other than that it was a fiddly game with lots of guesswork so I don't have much else to offer.

I can't rate the player above me without bias because of my love for Native American Tribes.

( except for the Apaches. Nobody likes the Apache )

@NIch: You lost on turn 1. Miyagi's picks were so much better. You were also a bit unlucky not getting your 2 or 3. I would have just picked all the ftbs one after another. 1WR 2Scan 3 India 4Iran 5East CHina. You got lucky getting 12 on turn 2 but it didnt matter and MIyagi failed his ftb, but it didnt matter. He knew where you were and it was easy for him to just wriggle around and destroy your bonuses.

It tells me that game doesn't exist Pulsey, you're missing a number at the end of the GameID.

sorry. nauz i thought you left wl for good :P

Nah, just no working computer for quite a while - unlikely to have anything useful to offer regarding that game after a lengthy hiatus (plus I was worse than you even before the hiatus), but I'll watch it a few times and see if anything stands out.

Brain, it would of been more efficient to send your 3 west and 2 4's east.. it would of let you use the leftovers for 2 complete attacks instead of being forced to use 2 2's to get your 2nd turn bonus, for more continual armies to capture C.Rus.

3rd turn, you laid armies in Georgia Vs an imagined threat *which turned out to be real* delaying your income from capturing C.Rus. and then, from a delayed 3 bonus income, went to an offensive pose. He even managed to beat you after having wasted time breaking a wasteland.. *note, he lost 7 armies, game lasted 3 more turns, which means he only gained 5 additional armies, and in those turns he had an additional 10 armies not used against you, so overall he used 5 less armies against you...*
turn 7, you decided to move the armies to Dudinka to card, despite knowing that the attack is good for nothing more than carding.. having moved it to Tomsk, you could of carded and started on another bonus if the game lasted long enough.. *also provides a slight army sitting next to other easy card parts, instead of a 4 and a 10*


I suppose this means I should post a game..

loser player
only talk
no shoot

You're just clunky as fuck. Why not try for a 2turn 12? Why expand in so many directions at once, rather than find your opponent and attack? Why expand in africa so kackhandedly? What in gods name did you hope to achieve by moving into canada? seriously...

Piggy, get that link back up - the chat was entertaining!

Haha, It was removed by request of guigui, as you will see when you get down the bottom. please respect his privacy ;)

My favourite line was myhands response.

Ah, I didn't see that - he must have posted after I loaded it!

What was myhand's response? I don't remember!

OMG Dead Piggy! You just critiqued a game, but didn't post one to be critiqued? Play by the rules next time, kid! #cheater #notcool

Anyway, here's a game I'd like someone to critique. NOTE: I wasn't trying very hard, which explains some basic errors.
