Someone explain why my opponents are set up like this. I still consider myself to be a new player, which is why I'm asking, but I must have played close to a hundred games so far, and have never seen anything like this.

I'm just confused

EDIT: oh and sorry if this is the wrong forum for this question. i wasnt sure about that either

i don't quite get your question.

if you're asking why they don't have troops ganged up on borders with 1's on the rest of the terits like you then the answer is simple. they don't want to appear as a threat. all of you have similar number of troops. but you appear as the strongest because you have large armies on the borders. probably they'll silently agree to kill you. i prefer having my armies split evenly on all my terits than to have huge piles on my borders especially in unlimited fortif. if i need i can gather them all in a single spot but until i do that i don't appear as a threat.

yellow only gets 42 armies this turn

Edit: Just because (I know neither of these things are on topic) Where did you get the count down clock that gives the exact time that you/ opponents have to make their turn? I see yours has 6 odd am.
Just wondering.
Thanks,
John

DiM, thanks for the reply, that was just the kind of answer I was looking for, so I can better my play style. I usually just match (plus a little more due to the fact that they could deploy all on that one border next turn) what has been placed at my borders, which has led me to the current situation. Is that not a good idea so that I end up like this? Won't my opponents have a clear shot at me if I give them too much of an advantage on the border?

john1099: yes, yellow will get 42 armies =/ , and will probably attack me even though he can pretty much take almost all of africa since there is such drastically small defenses. in response to your question, the time thing if from a script that i installed from http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8801. Specifically it's the "Greasemonkey Script by stocksr". I don't use it for the time thing, the stats table and color coding are extremely useful, as well as the confirmations for ending phases.
