Speed Games - Lightening Quick wins

I think I may have to give up at playing speed games.

More and more frequently, freestyle speed games are over before I even get the cue to play my troops. It's not as though I'm on a slow wireless (at a university with fast internet), but as you can imagine, it's very frustrating. These games primarily are multi-player (5 or more), Freestyle on Doodle and Luxembourg maps. According to the log, these games appear to end within 2-3 seconds from the start - which entails placemet of troops and consecutive attacks and wins over at least two territoies.

Some players - who I greatly respect - seem to accomplish this again and again and again....leaving me in search of the super anti-lag.

What gives?

this should help you.


Also im assuming you are talking about assassin freestyle games based on the ending fast aspect. Many love those games for their quick enjoyment and many dislike them for their high degree of luck.

Anyway i hope the link provided helps you with becoming faster...those are the settings i use on clickable maps though i now use chrome instead of firefox im not sure if that makes that much difference. If you also use chrome you can just skip the greesemonkey step. If you have any questions feel free to shoot me a pm and id be happy to answer. I may not see the question if posted on the forms.

I think the fastest doodle is 6 seconds from start of the game to the end , and that was under the old speed games settings

Just for the record, Ijex is one of my all-time favourite opponents.
I don't think I've ever been in a dull game with him.

I don't play freestyle speed games mostly because of clickable maps addon. I cannot click my mouse as fast as others do, I'd make a horrible lesbian.

If you're old, years of practice, a newer computer, and a good internet connection are key.

I however, do not have to worry about such things as yet, since I have let that temptation, slip away for the moment regardless of how weak I may be.....its so fun hitting join on a speed game, and watching it not load to an adrenaline rush that is the equivalent of a cup of coffee, made with redbull is place of water.
