12 hours into D1 (NO IMAGE BECAUSE IT KEEPS SAYING "ENTITY TOO LARGE" EVERY TIME I INSERT IT)

I'm invading Tunisia and Malta. I WB'd an AC in Tripoli to reach Gabes in time before the Tunisians

I chose Libya in a Clash of Nations game, so I'm gonna make a guide. Hopefully this won't die like the Türkiye thread

DAY 1

I started with building 5 barracks and researching Infantry and ACs, followed by Militia, LTs and tank plants (the latter is now really hard to build in fives due to the hike in building costs)

How crazy are u to make 5 barracks?

I decided to invade my home country with LTs and a massive swarm of Infantry. So far I've seized Sidi Barrani

Also, here is the image that was meant to be in my other post

Ignoring the fact that spamming infantry is generally not a great strategy, building 5 barracks uses up the very resources that you need to produce those infantry, and your starting manpower is not high enough to sustain simultaneous production out of 5 production facilities at this stage of the game anyways.

If you truly wanted to produce nothing but infantry, you'd be better off just building maybe two barracks.

Edit: well, actually this was true in the old version of the game where Barracks and Infantry both required Food and Goods. I don't know what the new version of the game requires for Barracks and Infantry, so maybe the resources don't overlap anymore because nothing makes sense.

Here is my conquest of Egypt so far

CASUALTIES

Invasion of Malta - 1069 to me, 1000 to Malta (I conquered them)

Invasion of Tunisia - 3200 to me, 4796 to Tunisia (almost seized Tunis)

Invasion of Egypt - 3514 to me, 4850 to Egypt (approaching Alexandria)

@Geden said Bytro's taking a "Gameplay > Realism approach", which includes adding Pan-Asian nations to CoN

Egypt somehow joined my Coalition. Now focusing on Tunisia

I'm beginning an offensive against Algeria, who hasn't built a thing yet

Algeria still hasn't done a thing

PREPARE TO BE S C R O N C H

Spain is now trying to take a bit of Algeria. I will take all of it!

Everyone can play the way they feel it is right and above all it should be fun, but D5 and not owning at least 1 neighbour country doesn't seem good news for the future...

No update? I guess you're not doing so well?

How did the game go?

Bravo...

Btw, I dispise players that quit their games and talk in the forum... There should be an AI banning all players, who quit their maps often, from the forum.

First of all, this game is wargame and one should have fun applying strategy and tactics while trying to win.

Secondly, it is about trying to survive.

Thirdly, it is about getting beaten out of the map, but giving it your best.

Going inactive is a betrayal to your partners, bc they counted on your support and ultimately your AI-you will attack them instead.

Quitters are detrimental to the game

They are worse than heavy golders.

Not all quitters are bad lol. Only those who take Germany in HWW and then quit
