Game Creation

I don't think there are any less games being created, but now once games are full or too late to join they no longer show on the list.

I think games are filling faster lately, so there aren't as many choices.

I must say, that I cant agree. Look, a few weeks ago, I created a game. And now I'm serious, it took only FIVE minutes and the game was full. So I dont think that player-created games fill slower than other games cuz... seriously, if you had to scroll down that much to find my game, then why did it fill so fast? Or was it the scroll-down-hollyday? (You maybee have such holidays in the US, I dont know)

Perhaps you may be right. But for the past couple of weeks I have been unable to find any Historic World Maps or European Road to Wars anymore. Blitzkriegs are a rarity and are hard to find. I also have been constantly checking and refreshing the game page to make sure that they weren't getting all full, but with no luck. Literally only a month ago I could join several Historic World Wars in a day and I could always see them getting created and fill up. But as of right now I have been unable to find anything. Maybe you all are right and I am not checking fast any enough. In any case, thanks.

Yeah, I think you got a point there. Some games are really hard to find. I think pacific war is the hardest one. It's my favourite game! America-map is also hard to find. But when you create a game, it's filled pretty fast, so self-created games are like on first page, while bigger maps are more rare. But I mean, big maps need more players, like five times more than a europe clash of nations, so on 5 europe clash of nation games, there is only one world at war. You know what I mean?

Never mind any of those maps, though I agree with you all. Try joining a new FLP game. You lose your status if you don't, but there aren't any games to play!?

I blame this wait to create new games. I think FLP games should be exempt from this. Also those of us who are higher level & consitantly stay in our games should have a less wait time or none.

I believe the 25p takes long to fill not only because it has lots of players, but also that it gets boring after 20-30 days, when you're trying to reach from one continent to another. I like 10p and 22p, but especially road to war because it's a fair game and favors aren't to the main nations in WW2.

Turns out you just have to know what to invade and how to make your army better.

I am currently the 2nd highest on my leader-board with the 3rd largest army. It took a while, but I got there.

This is what I would recommend if you had to pick between some less powerful startup country in WW2 25 player maps. (I remind you I am still learning, so if I get anything wrong, just tell me.)

Persia:

-Focus on making sure your border with Turkey and USSR are secured (Forts, tons of units, etc)

-Attack easy places like Iraq and Afghanistan and other AI states

-Once you are confident in your ability, attack British India first, then Turkey when you are done with that

-Maybe launch a large attack on USSR if it's still alive, if not Germany (They don't pay as much attention to their borders with you. Most of the time)

-If your done that, I think you can probably win or take a high place on the leader-board in the end.

Turkey:

-Focus on border on the Black Sea and Europe

-Build a large navy to protect your side from USSR

-Attack the bots of the Middle East

-Redirect to Persia and attack them

-Take out Greece and the rest of the Balkans if available

-Either attack Africa bots or British India (doesn't matter that much)

-If you're confident in your ability, attack Germany from his southern flank (People never attack that, so it will always be open)

-If you can beat Germany, you've already won

British India:

-Build up that army because you ain't going anywhere with that

-Attack Nepal and Bhutan, and then Tibet. Possibly Xingjiang. POSSIBLY.

-Then build up that navy and air force

-Attack Persia or USSR, your choice

-Advance onto east Asia and take out China and Japan

-Go down to Australia and kick off their ground harnesses and watch them all fall into the sun.

-Now your free to do whatever you want

Canada:

-Just make a big ass army and ally with America and Germany

Mexico:

nope. why would you even.

Brazil:

-Attack Argentina first

-Take the bots out

-Best bet is either Australia or Africa

-Attack Southern Europe or Southern Asia

-Take out Germany

-Also ally with America

Vice Versa with Argentina

Yugoslavia, Spain, and Romania (If you saw my last post, I'm in a round as Romania. I am doing good, but I have an untrustworthy ally

-Build up air force and land army

-Take some AI for yourself

-Ally with Germany, Russia, or possibly UK (Good luck)

Sweden:

-Just build up navy and land armies and ally with Germany and you're all set.

Tell me if I missed any countries. Hope this helped.

Jesus cryes man that was a long text... but thnx, it helped me a lot! How do you know all this?

Oh I mean that any nation in WW2 map is that you actually have no army. You see big boys like German and the USA have big armies in the beginning. Places like Brazil and other places have no armies. 12 units and most of them are militia.

I also know why to do this because I have a second account with a different email and its basically a testing account. I just go through games picking countries I know I won't have any chance at winning at first. I also try out really risky strats on it. My K/D isn't that good because of some of those strats failing.

I usually just play europe clash of nations, so I dont know a lot 'bout world at war maps. It's because I co-op with my friends (mostly) and I dont find that world at war is a good co-op map, cuz they'r way to big

I think the 25p, road to war, or blitzkrieg are the most fun. 25 for the amount of shear stupidity involved. Blitzkrieg for the I guess you can call it "realism", and road to war because of how easy it is to win.

Yeh so the historical world war is my absolute favourite, but it does'nt appear that much.

I finnished second at a blittzkrieg once, as spain. Though I think brittain is allways the ultimate nation. You'r on a island, so people are not even thinking about to attack you. If you'r brittain then you should:

* Build up a big navy

*take belgium or the netherlands

and you've got the victory.

Historic isn't available for a little bit because of a glitch that makes colonies core provinces.

Do not invade Iraq or British India, because they have high population with high grain consumption avoid it, if you can! Nice target is Saudi Arabia!

Wait till everybody is died in Europe!

Wait till Japan kill all those Asian countries and struggaling from grain shortage and loose moral...

Wait till players in america get bored and go inactive.

and finally win the game... easy.... I already made it with Persia! lol
