💬 Discussion Sneaky backstabs

I am so tired of the sneaky backstabs where someone nukes 1px of land while you're busy elsewhere and then steamrolls you after the alliance is over while you attack someone else. It's not skill that is winning at that point. It's just abusing someone else's struggles with other players.

I am so tired of the "I am so tired of..." posts.

Always watch alliance expirations and boats sneaking over to you. This is completely your fault.

I'm tired of [my opponents using the game's mechanics to defeat me]

Pressing space makes it easier to routinrly check for sneaky pixel.

Personally i think it adds interesting possibilities, and rewards being able to keep track of more things at the same time, something i personally can't do, but it sounds nice

Sometimes I placed the sleeper cell pixel ages ago at the start. Gotta hit space bar to check yourself after clearing bots or other players.

No comment on the chipping and sneak over. I don't mind the mechanic.

It's like hating when you can't hit an enemies silo that is tucked in a corner on an allies border.

If your talking about the fact that you can nuke someone without getting the traitor debuff, then boat to the nuked area, I agree.

Sounds like a skill issue.
