0% Luck

Due to my level I am unable to make games with the order priority card and delay card.

I will be making a thread once a day until there is a outcry for me to stop.

Your picks 5/10, your opponent 2/10. Your playstyle 2/10, your opponent 1/10

Thank you for your beautiful explanation for those low scores, Which I don't give a fk about. Would you like to rate anything eles and not explain them?

Yours Kindly , Platinum

Why not continue the thread you already made ?

To be honest, I have thought about it and well... I just decided I will make a new thread.. As I usually put a bit of text beside my games explaining what happens that covers a lot of space, So I felt If I had put in Multiple games in the same thread it would be too much, If that makes any sense..

I could just put the game-link without the text as it would not be cluttering the General forums. I do plan to post only 1 game link a day.

If you look back at the first thread, The post covered a lot of space. Now Imagine if I put in multiple games with that amount of text beside it?

Best thing, Since I am no-where near doing good strategic blogs.. I will just post the game link for now on.

Focusing only on play, ignoring picks.

Turn 1: Take West Russia first, not Scandinavia.

Turn 2: Hitting Baja first order is dumb. Don't kill neutrals in an opponents bonus. Hit Mexico last order instead, it's a much better move.

Don't deploy in Scandinavia, it's 0% SR. 3v2's always succeed, and you always lose 1 army when attacking neutrals of 2 armies.

Not having hit Ufa in either turn 1 or 2 sets you up for a terrible expansion pace.

Hitting Rocky Mountains turn 4 and not finishing West Russia is mind-numbingly stupid.

So are your continual attempts to take West US before securing Mexico.

You should have won the game by the end of turn 4, but you completely screwed up the opening turns.

Thank you so much for the advice. Much appreciated.

Not making excuses or anything but I was so use to playing on 16% luck as I usually play auto-games this was the first time I was playing on 0% luck and for some reason I was playing as if it was 16% luck.. Which was basic ignorance from me. The game should've been over at turn 4. Instead it dragged out.

Again Thank you for the advice :)

Edit - I don't know what I was thinking about West US. I think I was trying to attack cuba... Very worrying hopefully I don't do something stupid like that again..

People generally know how to click "last page" on a given thread.
Just don't post too many games at once.

As for the game:
That was some expensive countering you did in west-USA, trying to complete it before securing it was a big mistake, pushing D-Rize out of Mexico would 've yielded you a win.
Not sure what Middle-East was about, but taking SouthEastAsia from Iran would ve given income for the same investment(and finally D-ryze surrendered because of income)

Nice Quicksand 9/10 for being a douche.

Spawns are fine in my opinion.

Shouldnt have try to expand and get West america, wasnt safe at all. Should of straight away went for caucasus.

Platinum - your #1, #2, was ok, but West US as a counter was quite questionable. It's best to counter enemy bonuses with adjacent territory. in your situation, you kind of wasted pick.

You opponent picks were bad, because lack of safe pick. Again, all bonuses in one spot can be easily broken by enemy.


Both your and D-rise gameplay was very bad. You've tired to take bonus with enemy nearby. That was unnecessary waste of units. Imagine, that you spend those units on Russia and Caucasus from the very beginning - completely different situation and faster, easier win.

Hey, you can't really expect an in-depth analysis from Quicksand, he's Heyheuhei, he'd ruin his reputation of being the least talkative player on Warlight.

This is really embarrassing.. Even I cringe when I look back on it.

I think I would pick different 5th and 6th pick, but other than that very good picks. Opponents not so much. Guess that's why you never thought he started in SA. He also did not use his card as soon as he should have, another bad mistake.
EDIT: Should have read all responses before posting. Did not notice it's SR. And Cyclic. I feel dumb now. Well, this game looks a bit different now. Scorched and Latnox made good points I think, I would also add you should have used attacks with 1 to weaken and therefore capture Mexico.
After reaching the stalemate there, I think I would check Japan earlier, and maybe go to africa through Europe. Capturing Cauc and Indo seem a bit questionable, but are ok if you know they are safe. I'm not sure if capturing Mexico was possible, with some sneaky moves or sth, but that's something that would win you the game (but again, who expects SA in initial picks together with CA and Ant).

You should have put more preference on south america, both you and your opponent, easy to take central america from it and can also be used to attack Antarctica. I think 1st and 2nd pick were good, but I'd have gone 3 in SA, 4 in Antarctica then 5 in central america. 6th is tough but africa is an option.

I think your opponents biggest mistakes were his picks and wasting everything on west US, there was no way either of you were gonna take it with those massive stacks in CA. As soon as you reached the stalemate he was in the better position since you were surrounded by 10's and he had easy access to africa. but he screwed it up pretty bad.

Just make a single thread where you update it every day.
