Best Country For Each Continent?

I have not played 100 player map for world.

But for 25-player 1939 map, here is my take:

1) USA for North America.

2) Brazil for South America.

3) Japan for Asia.

4) South Africa for Africa.

5) Australia for Oceania.

6) Europe ... That's a tough one ... Italy so far of the ones I played ... May change my mind in a few months ...

In one of my current games, the top-scorer is playing as France, but normally France often attacked by Spain, UK and Germany

For Europe, I would say either UK or Germany, but I'll choose Germany over UK since I do more well as Germany than UK

I do well starting with Sweden and Yugoslavia. My opinion the UK is a difficult start, Italy I’ve never tried, and Germany seems to me the way you described Italy.

I like communist Russia and Ukraine. Russia Empire is just too big and moving units throughout your country takes a day. it makes morale impossible and reinforcements hard to come on time.

This may seem obvious, but if you can get a country that has a protected flank, its a big advantage. For example I recently won a coalition game coming out of Cuba. Nobody ever got close to my country in the entire war cause its isolated on all sides by water. Same situation in Egypt and other north African countries. In this case, you're even better protected because their is no entrance at all one one side.

On the other hand, I've had a couple of complete failures in games where I was an insignificant country surrounded on all sides by other countries. In these cases I was almost immediately attacked by one of the neighbors. Although successfully defend, and in both cases the attacker was eliminated. Unforunately by then I was so weak from that war it was impossible to defend anymore.

I got lucky in my first game in the tutorial and also won with Egypt, despite a premature attack by another noobie in Libya (I think in that game were were all inexperienced noobies!) ... I also recall winning later on with Caucus and Sweden- countries also on a 'protected' side of the board ... When you are surrounded on multiple sides, you are more vulnerable to attack by a neighboring country.

I usually don't care about what country I play in, since everyone of them has it's advantages and dis-advantages. But there's always a favorite for me, so here's what I think are the best countries on the 100 player WaW map.

Africa: Libya, because of the oil, and because of it's position.

Asia: I never usually play Asia, but I'd say Korea.

Europe: Yugoslavia

North America: There's this one country I consider the best, I think it's called Florida? (it's the southern united states in the 22p map). I honestly don't know much about North America, and there's just too much chaos up there.

Oceania: Queensland

South America: Sau Paulo

Yes, resources were a pain for the beginning of the game. And actually thoughout most of it. I had a simple strategy which minimized resource need as much as possible. I only built Infantry and air force. Which means I didn't even research much else as well.

Your popularity is high too!

On the 100p map or 22p map? On the 100p map North Ural is a country I like that not many play. 2 rares, 2 oil, pretty safe position, and a decent amount of targets. I don't play the 22p map much but I remember France being loads of fun if you are good with diplomacy.

Sichuan tons of food (Cus i cant manage my food production)

Libiya/UPPER Volta/North Sudan (Cus its very easy)

and day 1 leningrad rush from finland is also sick

On the 100p

• Aisa: I like Japan, I just find I usually do well with it. You have a small, but useful channel between you and main aisa to escape the chaos.
• Europe: Europe isn’t a good continent in my opinion. However, if I had to choose, UK is good. It actually starts with an extra point compared to other countries.
• Africa: My favourite continent. In the north, I like Ethiopia. Only 1 front, 2 neighbors bordering you. Small ocean access that’s pretty useful. In the South, I like Angola. Nice rare material production in that one too. Good starting position if you manage your diplomacy well.
• South America: My second-favourite continent. I like Sao Palao and South Argentina. Both are nice.
• North America: North America is pretty chaotic. I don’t usually pick a country here but South Mexico and Quebec are both decent.
• Ocenia: Phillipines or New Zealand.
• Russia: Volga Perm-Small country, 2 rare, 2 oil.

• Europe:Germany
• Aisa:Japan
• North America:USA
• South America: Brazil
• Africa: South Africa
• Oceania: Australia
