@Dolphin: as your level is lower than mine, you're less experienced and dont know much about the game as I do. Im a warlight senior here and I know what Im talking about.

As I have said before, to win the 1v1 games, your income have to be higher than your opponents. And the biggest bonuses in the map are Caucasus, China, East Russia, Canada, 2 parts of USA, Greenland and Europe( an exception is Aussie of course). And these big bonuses are linked to each other pretty well.

So since East Russia is the center of the bonuses chain, once you already capture East Russia, you can expand to the other big bonuses. So in the end, your income will always higher than your opponent's and you can crush him easily to win the game.

Thats exactly how to win 1v1 strategic games.

I repeat again, my level is pretty high. Those whose levels are lower than mine should keep their mouths shut because I've played more games than you. I know more about the game than you do.

@Dolphin and Allah Baby: as your level is lower than mine, you're less experienced and dont know much about the game as I do. Im a warlight senior here and I know what Im talking about.

The key to winning Strat 1v1 games is picking wastelands. This will surprise your opponent. Build up a big stack and attack your opponent from surprise. And the biggest bonuses in the map are Caucasus, China, East Russia, Canada, 2 parts of USA, Greenland and Europe( an exception is Aussie of course). And these big bonuses are linked to each other pretty well. This means that the probability of a wasteland in these bonuses are largest.

So since East Russia is the center of the bonuses chain, once you build a stack East Russia, you can expand to the other big bonuses. So in the end, you will always surprise your opponent

If it seems that you have lost...
give him this look



Beg him for a vote to end, use 'PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE' repeatdely and attempt to stall the game until your opponentfinaly gives in.

Let's summon a higher level player to tell alababi that he is wrong. I mean, with his theory what the higher level said should be enough to override his statement.

Help! We need a higher level player here! lol

edit: opps thx Brain, you came in the right time

Edited 11/19/2013 03:31:25

Of course I was joking about the levels. Since the level system was just introduced not long ago so there are a lot of experienced players with low levels.

And of course, Brain can be right since he's been playing a lot of games.

What I mean here is that, Unreality, you're the least experienced here so you still dont get the big pictures yet. You need to play more games to fully understand how to win 1v1 games.

The trick of 1v1 games is to have a higher income than your opponent and then you can crush him to win. That works for me all the time.

And the best bonuses in the 1v1 map is the big bonuses chain, from Caucasus to China to Russia to North America. Once you have all these big bonuses, you will very likely win the games since your income will be very big.

Alababi I would like to learn more, would you mind to show me one of your games that, in the shortest number of turn, reaching 12+ units production per turn? I would like to use it as a reference.

brilliant, but strategic medium earth pls :)

I am 90% certain alababi's still trolling... But for the sake of that last 10%, as well as any other players who are reading this thread and still don't get it, I'll give my best shot at an explanation.

I'm going to assume that this is an expansion race pure and simple for the sake of simplicity. If you truly want to have a larger income than your opponent, than that means you're looking to get as much income as you can for as few territories as you can. Every territory you capture is costing you armies, usually 2 - 3 since you have to leave one behind. These are armies that could be better spent expanding elsewhere.

For this reason, the number of territories in a bonus matters. In most strategic maps, you'll notice that there is often one less income given than territories you have to take (eg. Central America has 4 territories, and gives 3 income). You could say then that the first territory you take in a bonus is worthless, and every territory you take from then on is worth one income. That shows how a larger bonus is usually more valuable, since more of its territories are worth something.

However, not all bonuses follow this formula. North America, The Middle East, East Russia, etc. all have 2 less armies given than territories taken. That means two territories in that bonus are worthless. Instead of taking East Russia's 7 territories which give 5 income, you could take East China's 7 territories which give 6 income, possibly giving you that extra income boost needed to win the game.

The easiest way to analyze how valuable a bonus is, is to simply figure out how much income is being given per territory in that bonus. 3 income / 4 territories (0.75) < 4 income / 5 territories (0.8) for instance.

Of course, there's so much more that needs to be taken into account before deciding if a bonus should be taken. Larger bonuses are often easier to break into, so safety is a huge deal. They also take longer to capture, so if you stumble upon an opponent in the middle of capturing one, you might not have the income to finish it.

Anyways, I hope I helped anyone who didn't fully understand this concept.

@Unreality: I've played nearly a thousand games so it will take a lot of time to search through my game history to find the games you want. But Im pretty sure that I've reached 12+ just after 2 turns in so many games. This is nothing special actually if you got a lot of experience with the game like me. You just need to play more games, gain more experience and get to a higher level and you will understand what I mean.

What Im saying here is a little complicated for the newbies like you to understand. Warlight after all is so complex that you need a lot of deep thinking, intuition and imagination to understand and play.

So, as a senior player, my advice to you in 1v1 games is that. YOU NEED TO INCREASE YOUR INCOME BY TAKING BONUSES. Thats the certain way to beat your opponents. The biggest bonuses in the Medium Earth Map are Caucasus, China, East Russia, Canada, 2 parts of America, Greenland then Europe. That creates a perfect chain of bonuses for you to capture.

Of course, you also have to watch for wastelands. Do not pick wastelands, that will be a waste. Hence the name "wastelands".

To elucidate my point, I will use the games I've played with REDSOXWINTHEWORLDSERIES2013(AHOL) as examples.

I've played with REDSOXWINTHEWORLDSERIES2013(AHOL) 5 games and I won 5-0 in a row so REDSOXWINTHEWORLDSERIES2013(AHOL) is so scared of me that he never dares to play 1v1 with me ever again.

----------------------------------

That's this. Actions speak more than words. I've beaten REDSOXWINTHEWORLDSERIES2013(AHOL) 5-0 in a row and he never dares to play with me again. He is a very good player but my perfect picks always won. Not many players can beat REDSOXWINTHEWORLDSERIES2013(AHOL) 5-0 in a row like me. And nobody else can scare that guy like me.

Thanks Pulsey for the examples. The readers are well entertained but you should privately mail this to deadly pig

I'm not sure if (as Garrett said) alababi's just trolling, or if he's really a noob. But, in either case, I wish to play a game with him to prove that we are right.

http://warlight.net/MultiPlayer?GameID=5159924

@myhand: Yes, I will concede that triple picking CAN work, just as picking East Russia/Canada can work. I was speaking in generalizations.

He talks like Pulsey. He could be Pulsey. Correct me if I am wrong.

i dont post pics of my back online

Pulsey, I honestly think it's pretty lame to use someone else's meme. You certainly must remember when myhand posted that photo in the Free Membership thread, right? Remember how sad you were when that meanie CROvian was using your "Citizen Kane Clapping" meme? Well, that's how myhand feels now.

OK, time to say you're sorry. You might want to make a face like the one below:



But you, Pulsey, I will only forgive you if you beg. And crawl. And lick the sole of my left boot.

Edited 11/19/2013 13:38:39

@Dolphin: sorry, I dont play 1v1 with those whose levels are lower than mine. Not worth my time anyway.

If I win, there is nothing to be proud of. If I lose (I can be careless or unlucky sometimes), the shame will be on me.

Edited 11/20/2013 00:22:24

He talks like Pulsey. He could be Pulsey. Correct me if I am wrong.

That would be an honor for Pulsey if you think I am him.

i know... i really like that muscular back of yours.

i actually dont know what thrad you are refering to dolphin... link?

its actually a popular picture from shrek movie... they use it in facebook and all

Edited 11/19/2013 14:57:54

I`m still not 100% sure if Alababi is trolling or just being a noob.

OK, alababi, I will wait until my level is higher than yours. THEN we will play. And you will see what a noob you really are.

Brain, going back to that forum, I realize that the face myhand used was SLIGHTLY different from yours. My apoligies.

http://warlight.net/Forum/Thread?ThreadID=5502

I dont think a noob can win an (AHOL) member Boston so many times (check Alababi's example links), so I think Alababi is a troll. But on the other hand, I'm not sure with Boston's skill level.
