Do you have any type of strategy for when playing the UK on 100 player map? Looking to try it out in the future. Any help would be great.

One of your biggest priorities should be navy. Since it is of course, an island nation

Usually I tend to focus on light units with planes to support them.

gotcha. How did you do in the end of the games you played the uk? Did you win or lose?

Most games I play, I win! But the first UK map I played, I destroyed my ally, who was actually plotting to get rid of me.

Do you have a screenshot? It could be the crates feature.
It does not specifically mention anything about crates, as this screenshot shows when I try to research Interceptor level 7. The only requirement it specifies is Interceptor Level 6If that crate is a requirement, then that should be specifically pointed out I would say, Don't you agree? When I click on the " i " Icon it only gives me the requirements again which I have several Provinces which more than satisfy these requirements. So what is going on with this research step that apparently does not work?
Zoom out to 75% and you'll see it.

The research window does not zoom.... and I looked all over the other one in ANY zoom level and still can't find it... why don't you make a screenshot and point it out please? apparently I am blind.... LoL

alea jacta est :P

As I said.... there is nothing else in the requirements even when i zoom to ANY level possible... Even your fancy little video is no help

alea jacta est :P

New Q for S.Bomber

how many hit points does city have?

3 Aug 2016, 02:06 (edited)

Has anyone won with any of the oceana countrys in the world map? I want to give them a try just just not sure what would be best? Any suggestions? Also general strategy would be appreciated.

Does Japan count? I was ~20 or so points behind first, and we were at war but retired.

Ahh,

Australia can be good, can take 3 other nations on the Island, then you have the seas and have a good early game defense position... Then short crossings to new gunie and NZ...

then later on, its a fairly cheap defense, can defend a first wave invasion, with a mix of bombers and a few naval units,

Have you had lots of success with this? Won any games. Gotten really far?

Yep won with Australia, but I had South Argentina as an ally dealing with Americas...

But won with Australia, however it was just before carriers were released, so they can be even more help

but if doing it, dont ally with anybody from Austrlaia, just take all of it.. then move out, it can be cheap to defend
