what is the best way of handling a stalemate? i have been involved in 5 games that have lasted over 3 months with no obvious winner. what to do?

There are a couple other ways to handle stalemates....

1. Make an agreement with all or some of the players that everyone has to end their turn with less armies than what they started with. So buddy has 600 total armies at the beginning of his turn, he receives 10 armies for his bonuses and whatnot. That means that he would have to lose at least 11 armies in battle that turn (leaving him with 599 total armies) to keep his end of the bargain. This can work if at least half of the remaining players agree (they can just attack the players that choose not to participate). Eventually, the number of armies on the board will be more manageable, and thus the stalemate will be easier to end.

2. Make an agreement with ALL of the other players to start up another game. The winner of the new game will then be handed the win in the stalemate. This method is dependant on all of the participants being honorable in the end.

If its 1v1 stalemate you both pull your armies into one large spot and do the a-attack on each other, who's ever army is crushed at the end loses and forfits who ever wins wins. Best spot to do this is land bridges that can only attack each other Africa - South America, North - South America, Ausie - Asia, Asia - N America, and N America - Eouro. I like to call it "The Last Battel" or "Doomsday Battel" or anything I can think of that would be called down the ending of time.

you shouldnt never get in a 1v1 stalemate
the most often i have stalemates are in 8 player esc games...usally similar players so we take turns on who sins

if its a normal game then jst hang in there.

Suicide the one with lowest rank so you lose less pts

There are no stalemates here, someone will eventually prevail.
It's really hard to imagine esc cards being a very long game.

No suicide option?

I'd attack, and hope for luck to keep me stable enough that others won't still attack me.

If I could gain more troops a turn than everyone else, after a while, maybe a couple months or so, it'd be game over <_<

thanks for the advice
