Conquer Club

With the release of Nuclear Medals, I've found some interest in the spoil type and was wondering if there's anyone out there who would be interested in developing a guide for Nuclear Spoils.
The only blatant strategy I know right now is to never build giant stacks, especially in maps with little territories.

play doodle with nuclear spoils the good thing is you trade in once or never

I have some other strategies including turn in asap when you can ensure you're not blowing yourself up. Building up to five is dangerous unless you have to. A balanced aproach and not taking a card every turn is a good idea too.
Strategic forting and knowing your cards can also help clear yourself put of your own way if you do build a stack and have to nuke yourself

You can also bait your opponents. Leave something undefended or less defended than you otherwise would to encourage them to take it, then nuke it.

It can be fun on team games, especially Quads, where once all 8 players are fetching cards and cashing, on average 8 territories get nuked every round.

One other strategic move is to sit back and take easy cards until the nukes are about to hit, then take all your accumulated stacks and go on an attacking spree, spreading yourself out.

There's a map guide writing project, and yes, a spoils guide that includes the nuclear spoils setting, is being worked.

Meanwhile, building giant stacks is likely to get your stacked nuked, on nuclear setting. As a general rule, start dispersing before spoils cashes are imminent, on nuclear. It does change game strategy on many games. But.. not all games.

Conversely, nuclear spoils is probably not going to affect an AoR game, or a feudal game. It could, but the chances are so slim... same with larger but more classic-style maps. The likelihood of nuclear having THAT much of an affect is so slim (dozens and dozens of possible regions, quite a few available bonuses, how likely is it that someone nukes out your ONLY bonus?)

1. Avoid eliminating a single player with cards which force you to trade on the fly .Cards are bad when you can eliminate yourself with them.
2.If you want to build a stack make sure you hold the card with the stack on, it is not part of a set you hold once you get to 4 cards and are about to take a fifth
3.Stick to small maps,Castle maps,maps with high bonus' like 8 thoughts,Waterloo etc and games with 6 players plus game.
4.Always play in the fog.

These rules will increases your chances of obtaining a medal .

I like Conquer 4 on nuclear, as long as it is on Terminator or Assassin.
