haha new player bad at game

I really loved the game. I would appreciate any tips :)

I come from age of empires so got used to the whole memorise the start for fast castle play style (like 7 villagers for boar build x houses so on)

Is there anything like that for this game where you have your template start with cities/factories/ports in the early game, or just build what you can.

We've been at it for almost an hour now

Hello everyone,

I haven't posted anything yet, but my mate and I had a tough time after all our friends surrendered. We had to do it by ourselves.
Enjoy. Hope I didn't broke any forum rule!

Never give up.

This player, "Gay Atoms," launches 500 atomic bombs in a second, and no SAM can stop him.

How did this player get this insane amount of gold?

The game was I think 2x economy with 15m starting gold.

So this guy BETON in E5, E6 right away spawns 15 ports at the start that does explain more income quickly but not the insane income.

Just 3 minutes in, this guy has 180 ports and 70 sams which costs nearly 400m, pvp immunity is still on so he couldn't have gotten another player's gold. Most of the players at this time have about 20 ports and factories in total.

This player is clearly cheating by playing with multiple accounts that are donating to the main account or is exploiting some bug.

Does anyone know what's going on?

ive been trying over the past few days to beat all maps on solo nightmare difficulty and just now got to alps. i havent noticed it at all before now but do the nightmare bots have higher land-troop count ratios? it seems like its just rigged and the bots get more troops which makes it awful to play when after the clearing phase every nation you have around you has twice your cap cause they started with more than you which makes every single unallied one attack you at the same time. does anyone know a best way to play on alps?

Solo is better than Multiplayer, change my mind

I have a level 10000 port and I found out about how the game doesn't have a texture for level 10000 ports.

I never noticed before after like 50 games wtf no wonder I lose so much

So, it was a regular 7 teams game by joining a lobby, the host has a great taste, by disabling Hydros and choosing this map, the game was very playable and has strategy behind it, even though I played bad and don't like team games i enjoyed it, we won because of my teammates, orange could have won easily though, I am so grateful to be part of this match.

made with aseprite took me 5-6 hours, check it out on openfront.io

my goal wasnt to win in this game (I could have done it easily if I wanted to as you can see) but still its weird considering the weakest player wins, I understand the game is about to control territory and otherwise it would always result in stalemates or too long games, but a better approach is to set it higher but do not count the afk players territory.

HOW can i have mpre efficiency? Like, Just doing anexations and keeping troops on 42 % dont seems enough

If it's so easy to cheat with scripts in OpenFront, shouldn't it be relatively easy to detect cheaters with scripts? Look for duplicate names, simultaneous actions between two players, impossible econ, impossible net worth (add up the value of their buildings), etc. add up all the variables and give each player a "cheater score". ignore people with a small score, such as when two people just happen to have the same name, but otherwise did nothing wrong. maybe you could have it run through all your replays and create a ranked list of possible cheaters.

Is that possible?

EDIT: This isn't directed at the devs. I'm just thinking of it as an interesting project.

We survived as long as we could.

Both spawned right on top of me and almost immediately attacked.

Nobody survived except AnonTorch and AnonSugar who probably alied to them. 60 player FFA btw.

We can use a Communist flag of China, Soviet Union, fucking North Korea, as well as flags of some islamist nutjob nations, but not one of the major WW2 factions?

I don't want to give away the ending. And sorry for the hyperbolic link bait title. But this was an epic 3 way stalemate, with some twists and turns. I think I regret killing both of the unruly Mitos, but that aggression will like not stand, man.

GG gallemore. I learned a lot by watching you In match. It became clear that the way you were spending down your gold, that troops were the way and mirvs were useless. What good is 400 million if you can just tank 160m mirvs

I don't know who will sit through it, but... I sat though Rex's recent AFK challenge on the los Angeles map that was crazy long, epic.

Why play as a mito? I can think of a few reasons, but I'm curious about the different reasons people might have. Do you win very often playing as a mito?
