a backup member doesnt hurt just in case one goes inactive or betrays

when they didnot come on for two days on the coalition log, good enough excuse to kick and invade them lol

Didn’t upgrade their industrial complexes and accuse u of cheating because u can produce troops with half the time

In a game that my coalition is about to win in the 22-player clash of nations map, a noob that was in fourth place went inactive- apparently giving up hope for getting gold for fourth place ... My allies and I then attacked his inactive nation, which will provide us with enough points to go over the top ...

... Or you could be a leader of a winning coalition, also your country leading in VP's, and kick yourself out by accident when accepting a third coalition member- like I just did late at night, perhaps double clicking by accident ... Now I gotta wait 3 days to re=apply to my former coalition! ...

How I spot a Noob:

Militia

L1 Ind. Complex's in their core and it's mid to late game.

Militia

Destroyers built in a lake

Militia

L3 Infrastructure. L1 IC. Building Heavy Tanks

Slow moving unit that is not as good as infantry - I forget the name

Sends an unsolicited share map trade

Noob conversations:

N: Why are you attacking me?

Me: It's a war game

N: I know but I don't want to fight you

N: Help. This player is spending loads of gold an I can't beat them

Me: Which Country?

N: Belgium

But Belgium is playable in All countries All in But otherwise it is hilarious.

This just in from a current game: He builds one lvl 1 of each building in every city...

to add to the post: making a post about stuff only noobs would do to distract from himself

Not developing your economy, your technology and your military- and then wandering why you got wiped out ...

1.Should you lose your Capitol early on, don’t bother replacing it. As your morale decreases, your provinces will most likely revolt to your coalition partners, your team mates will then have to feed the hungry provincials.

2.Should you decide to replace your lost Capitol, make sure not to leave any defenders in the new Capitol. That’s the first place your enemy will look to attack your troops.

3.If your enemy has a strong Navy, make sure to place plenty of ground troops on your coasts, need to keep an eye on those enemy warships.

4.Blitzkreig is for the birds – always include militia and other slow moving units with your advancing armor. No need to engage the enemy in a timely manner, or take too many provinces all at once.

5.If at first you do not succeed, try, try again. Just because you have lost a dozen ground units trying to convoy across waters protected by enemy submarines, does not mean that the 13^th unit might somehow slip through.

6.Never coordinate any battle operations with your coalition mates. Disjoint operations in many directions is the best way to confuse your enemies.

7.Always use tanks to attack enemy infantry defending cities. The rumor that tanks lose 50% combat strength in cities is just another documentation error.

That was a sarcastic post by the way. You always should coordinate with coalition mates.

1. Attacking with only 1 to 3 stack army "of any kind" towards a well stacked and well combined army.

2. Using naval bombers against land targets.

3. Upgrading too soon at any tech tree despite of lack of resources or practicality.

4. Focusing on land tech tree if your country is surrounded with water or sea (e.g. Phils, Borneo, Indonesia and etc.).

5. Not softening a well stacked army with "any" artillery units.

6. Leaving the game with flanks wide open (I mean you can sleep but make sure your flanks are well defended. You do not want to wake up with your right or left flank missing).

7. Thinking that his country can take on the whole world without alliance and making a lot of enemies.

8. Using Tactical, Attack and Naval bombers against interceptors.

9. Sending AAAs against a stack of infantry based army.

10. Using artillery to engage enemy at close quarters.

So far those I have observed in the game, I did some of them myself only because I was not familiar with the game at start. I happen to send artillery at close quarters tho... I did regret doing it.

I just saw a fairly new noob move.

On 1.5 maps, building air strips in provinces but no air factories in any of your cities. He is basically giving me somewhere for my planes to land after I take them from him, making it easier for me to finish him off.
