Re: Polymorphic
You play them exactly how you would play a team game.
Depending on the map, the settings ( trench/escalating/unlimited etc) the way of playing them can change a lot.
One thing you must always consider is turn order. For example it is often interesting to fort the player playing right after ( red fort green, green fort blue, blue fort red if you are playing poly(3)).
Also true for attacking, often try to reduce the player playing just after you. For example if you are playing poly (4) on WWII Europe, every player start with 12 regions, if you attack the player playing right after you, he'll have 11 regions and deploy only 3.
Turn order is very important in polymorphic game ( and team game as well it play exactly the same way).
I'd advise you to try to find a good teammate, and practice team game, if you are good at team games, then you should be good at polymorphic games.

well, this makes sense in one way... however, i mightily disagree... to be a part of a great team, you need to be able to make the hard choices that sometimes your team member does not agree with, after a discussion... you also need to be able to take the lead and/or follow, depending on your position on the map... following does not happen in poly. taking other peoples thoughts into consideration does not happen. democracy does not happen. you have to be a cold blooded killer that is ruthless!!!! i understand where you are coming from, but i find poly to be much more difficult than simple team games...

well sure, anyone w/half a brain knows owen is totes full of shit.

Re: Polymorphic
owen was defeated by the dice in that game. He meant he is undefeated in any poly game where he got fair dice.
Re: Polymorphic
Although glad to see he got his points back by farming his opponent on Bamboo Jack immediately after.

Debatable which one is harder. Both are tricky, but I think most people have a harder time figuring out the bonus structure on Bamboo Jack than on Gallipoli.

Re: Polymorphic
meh - i highly doubt that owen's opponent was a NR who was invited to play on a map they are not allowed to create a game on.

Fatllama and Mrs, again attack Owen.
You two boys, umm, errr men just can't forgive Owen for telling everyone at CC, that your views of being pro-pedophilia is disgusting.

Exactly. I've played BJ a few times now and find both the look and feel of it impenetrable.
Play Galipoli once or twice and you'll have the map down.

Galipoli is best option to get hands on experience.

Re: Polymorphic
must i really call attention to my 5 CC wide poly championships? we aren't talking lame ol' run of the mill tournaments created by users. we are talking full on, site wide, open championships. 5 in a row. the undisputed champion. after my 5th consecutive, they discontinued the series, as they could not find any users willing to go against me. the black jesus has spoken...-Bj

Re: Polymorphic
So let me get this correct: the "best poly player on this site" is rated 1640?
The "best poly player on this site" has lost 7 of his last 12 poly games? (in a Game Finder search JUS a few minutes ago)
The "best poly player on this site" has lost these poly games: 17665180, 17665179, 17660788, 17660787, 17657130 AND MORE......
more "alternate truths"? What other alternate facts does he post?
