I'm not that great, and I need a little help. You can reply here or pm me but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well, you could play 3 person freestyle and never sleep constantly hitting the refresh button. It's hard to lose when you are always there in those settings.

But if you want to be human then I'd just suggest getting used to doubles and finding someone you like to play with then creating a bunch of games with them as your partner.

thats 1 hell of a broad question. check:
THIS GUIDE THREAD
also you might want to try focusing on 1 thing. looking at your current games briefly you are spreading out and fighting in multiple places.

finally get a half decent doubles partner either to teach u or to improve with. it helps a lot. i would play a game with you but i'm cutting down. down to 6 and i'm pretty busy. ask in the callouts section for a teacher/trainer doubles partner or something....

if you need a specific question answered u can pm me and i'll do my best since i ran a training programme a while back to help people improve so i've got a bit of experience of it...

Try to hit better rolls...

No, seriously. Don't grab a continent which you can't hold. Put your armies together. Attack is the best defense. Try to think a few moves ahead - What do you want to do in order to get into a good position? What do you think your opponents will do in those rounds? Learn the maps, work out the best way to move in different situations. Be patient, it takes a while to get the hang of it.

Just practise.

Also, be vaguely selective with the games you play.. don't go running inro matches which have all the top players in it when you'll be partnering someone who doesn't look so good etc.
