Bot Games

Silly question probably that no one but me likely cares about, but I've been trying to beat The Rathole for probably like 10 games. I play it once a day... is it possible to beat Slashbot in it?

If you've done it, tips? I'm desperate.

Yes it's possible...

kingherpes, always good for a good butt rape joke.

It's about right.

I just beat The Rathole. It took me 16 tries! I haven't tried to see if this will work again, but below was my strategy... don't read this if you want to figure it out on your own...

Are you sure? If it works there's no glory in the win.

After taking Australia I took Africa. When he came out of America, I slowly took America from him. You need to carefully position your men all over the map and leave several small stacks so he gets confused. Be careful to use his territories as buffers between you and his stack(s). Make sure you get a spoil every turn and try to keep your reinforcement count higher than his. Ideally you'll keep him down to 3. Sometimes you cannot do that. I traded in immediately every time.

No idea if I could do it again, but that's what finally worked for me.
