No matter what I do, at some point I have overwhelming NPC’s attacking me on multiple fronts. Impossible to defend. So if you people running this game ever decide to fix this stupidity, send me an e-mail and I might start playing again. Until then it is just pointless.

The trick is to take out the Bots earlier on, as zoom said. You gotta kill them before they get too strong. As soon as someone goes inactive, you need to kill them before the AI spam comes back to bite you in the future. You also need to move fast and try to win before the AI even has the chance to make a huge horde.
No, kill potential inactive countries before bots. If the ai takes them over they can be 5x more powerful than a normal ai.
My bad I meant that too. When you know some country is an AI you have to kill them early on. Basically kill any and all bots ASAP.
Taking out 2 player countries by day 5-6 is a good strategy on any map.
Actually that's a bit slow, but yeah, the gist is right.
Yes, ideally you wanna get there by day 4ish, but sometimes you have to deal with noob rushes and resource shortages.P.S. Day 1 noob rushes are VERY easy to counter, just play defensively and stack your units.
I always get noob rushed by Egypt as Syria. It’s very nice because it gives me free land. Though it slowly me down since usually I can take Iraq over before the day is even over-provided I don’t have to deal with an Egyptian noob rush. Either way being in the middle of many other countries may seem hard but if they aren’t smart it becomes free land!
Hey, no reason to turn down free land!I like it when two countries near me are fighting and killing each other's units, and then I can swoop in for ez win.
I was on the receiving end when I had killed Egypt and Iraq at a heavy cost and was overrun by Persia. Thankfully I think they were killed eventually, damn bastards!
Well that's what I like to do; look for neighbors that are fighting on multiple fronts, and join in on the fun.

I love it when they get into a slog and I get an easy 100 points. Yummy.

Especially in early game. Gives you a resource advantage most countries won't have at that time.

It also can make people (especially those who were not paying attention to the situation and news) think that you managed to overrun two countries with ease and that you are a pro. Poor fools…

It’s very enjoyable since you usually remain in first place for a very long time even if someone else is expanding fast, very good long term.

Yes. Having more resources in the early game prepares you better for the late game.

But always ALWAYS remember to spend those resources on industry. It helps spread them further. The extra units are not worth it! Being able to max industry early is very helpful, for obvious reasons.

Well industry and recruiting centers that is. Players often don't build RCs aggressively enough. Manpower is an important resource too. The rest of the resources only do you so much good if you don't have the manpower to build new units or upgrade existing ones. Just about always I make a point to get one RC up to level 2 on day one and further increase it to lvl 3 on day two. That's the most efficient want to do it. Get them up to lvl 3 one at a time.

I’ve learned this the hard way, many are the units that I have lost out on building since I didn’t have enough manpower.
