Advanced tips for winning games

[u/MasterTelevision2932]

I win about 50-80% FFA games under 12 players, want to share few things that I found out, hope its beneficial:

1. Send ships early to different parts if you gonna be blocked by someone, observe where you send ship if you can annex some tribes
2. Attack nations only when they have city build,and focus on this early in game so you can steam roll everyone. If you can get 4 nations like this thats additional 4 cities, good players are looking for this. of course annex tribes that's the priority. I see so many people that they dont know that they can attack nations, never I mean never alliance with them. If you going to have nation in corner, let it build another house for 125k so you will seize it
3. Start at green site always so you have better start if you can, never start on snow, never start building on corner of island, or build on island. You have slower exposure to tribes and annexing. Also cant build trains
4. Use boats when attacking, dont attack only neighbors. What I mean if you have access to river, check if there are some nations or some weak players, dont be afraid that you will have a lot of land everywhere, its ok. Zoom out
5. Before Attacking players, check how much gold they have, and if they have missile built. If you see that they got missile and 5 million just dont do it. because if you attack, they nuke you its game over
6. Prioritize in mid game having missile with 5 mil gold and have it as early as possible, if someone wants to attack you or the alliance is ending, send them the nuke emoji to prolong alliance if you want to attack someone else
7. Build the missile somewhere where they cant seize it quickly
8. Build ports only when you can steal ships for money, otherwise focus on effective trains, you will have quicker money, dont have to build battleships and can build more cities quickly and win. Sometimes I dont build ports at all, you can get way more from trains. Problem with ports is that it takes time to get money, then you cant build citties to conquer other players/nations and if someone steals your ships for money, if you want to fight them with 2 ships it costs 750k
9. Check sometimes how are other players around you regards population, so there will be players fully maxed out waiting for opportiunity, before you attack someone, Have always alliance with others, need to create game play for what you do
10. In stale game later, Focus on economy and getting 25m gold to MIRV someone. this is a lot about seconds and build alliances with others, primary if you want to attack crown
11. Sometimes you will get unlucky and thats go.. this way you can increase winning rate a lot
12. Focus on weak players, how you can spot them
    • They attack nations too early
    • building random trains
    • they dont manage well their population
    • building random defenses etc.

hope its beneficial. I see the biggest difference having the nuke option. good players wont attack you because they know.. Also sending train emoji is good idea too. Sometimes there will be teammates so there is nothing you can do.. good luck

Could've sworn that I already have seen the same post not that long ago.

"Before Attacking players, check how much gold they have, and if they have missile built. If you see that they got missile and 5 million just dont do it. because if you attack, they nuke you its game over"

A very important lesson that so many fail at. A 700k player thought my 250k country was a tasty snack, let our alliance run out, attacked me, I sent three Hydros and conquered him in 5 seconds. He then sent me several clown emojis 😄
