Advice please... http://www.conquerclub.com/game.php?game=7345931
I may be in the weakest position but if I can stir up the other two they might attack each other

.
Don't post on the the game...give me clues here!.
After 200 rounds I don't want to lose!!!.
Thanks.

I think if you can take N America you should win put a stack there unless the guy/gal is dumb they wont hit it.

Really

...taking North America would lose me a few hundred troops and then I would have to protect it over at least two borders.

I just want some way to get them attacking each other!... :twisted:

I think ask me2 is looking at the wrong color. The OP is slate, and has Africa right now.

Looks like you're caught in a stalemate. This is why I try to avoid standard no spoils games. Check back in a couple years, and let us know how it's going.

If Blue doesn't go for it, conquer Oceania.

He'd waste ~200 troops (fighting neutrals) to secure a +2 bonus. Bad idea.

Yeah Oceania will stay blocked I think...well things are on the move...but no one will split their troop up now for a while I think.Anyway the other two just lost a couple of hundred troops each while I lost 1! :lol:

Not if he can hold it for more then 100 turns, which is not impossible in a stalemated game.

Basically, your plans have to shift in length. Rather then planning for the next 3 turns, you should plan for the next 300.

Or hope that one of your opponents gets bored and suicides.
