2011-02-21 11:52:20 - tdans cashed in a group of Austr(al)ia, Andy's Mountains, and Brazil worth 30 troops
2011-02-21 11:52:20 - tdans got bonus of 2 troops added to Andy's Mountains
2011-02-21 11:52:20 - tdans got bonus of 2 troops added to Brazil
2011-02-21 11:52:21 - tdans deployed 39 troops on Europe
2011-02-21 11:52:21 - tdans assaulted Germany from Europe and conquered it from Rosso87
2011-02-21 11:52:22 - Rosso87 received 3 troops for 3 regions
2011-02-21 11:52:22 - tdans assaulted Irakistan from Germany and conquered it from Rosso87
2011-02-21 11:52:24 - tdans assaulted China from Irakistan and conquered it from Rosso87
2011-02-21 11:52:25 - tdans assaulted Austr(al)ia from China and conquered it from Rosso87
2011-02-21 11:52:25 - tdans eliminated Rosso87 from the game

He managed to cash, deploy, assault and advance troops on 3 regions in the space of 5 seconds.

How the hell do people play that quickly? It takes me about 5 seconds to deploy on the right territory once I've cashed, let alone assaulting and then selecting advance all, then assualting the next place.

The other thing I was wondering was you see players like the above steal a move, for example I go to attack 2 territories left by one player, once I've conquered one he has immediately come through me and hit the final one to take that players spoils before I even have a chance to hit the 2nd territory. He must have his screen refreshing every second to see me make my move? My screen only refreshes about every 10-15 seconds or so in a speed game. Then for him to be able to come through say 2 of my territories and the final remaining opponents territories, before I've advanced from the 1st attack! How are they so quick??? Do they have add ons that speed things up, or auto advance or refresh the screen more frequently or something? I'm confused! How do we beat people who are so quick?

The Clickable Maps add-on does make players faster, but tdans is a machine. This is why I stick to Sequential. =)

Are machines legal in CC?

All tdans does is work out and play CC. He is very, very fast. Plus, as mentioned, he uses performance enhancers ;-)

I am just a normal guy with super fast fingers and the ability to click R 20 times a second

You kids and your hot keys! I remember the good old days when we'd have to walk two miles to take our turns.

He is using the add-on you can find here: viewtopic.php?f=527&t=104488

Most speed freestyle players will be using Clickable Maps so it's worth taking the five minutes to install it, and it's pretty easy to learn how to use it.

Good luck!
