Hi All,

I am resuming uploads, to some degree, of my "Winning in Warzone" youtube series. These are more or less "hot takes" of what I am thinking as I play through each game, after the game is completed. I don't guarantee absolutely perfect gameplay, but hopefully these videos can prove helpful to newer players.

The latest video was uploaded, this one was vs. Krzysztof. A link can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79bcN3PD9nk

I have a playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLivNx5S7Xag3DA_WFmSl36rLDNMkRAmB1

You may also join my new discord, this is NOT a warzone discord, but more so a discord dedicated to my youtube channel in general (which I have long term plans to diversify): https://discord.gg/3Y2BU54UC6

Cheers!

You know what would be even more enjoyable to watch? If we could see your thought process during the turns. Meaning that you would record every single turn and once a game is finished edit all the videos by putting them together.

This is an excellent idea, Rufus. Also would make the videos more succinct.

I have a new video to add, this time against Mr.D.

This will be my last warzone upload for two months.

Bump, since I intend to use this thread again.

New Video out: https://youtu.be/e6jGIY7ZTqY Vs. Stonewall.

This one is different: it's a five minute video, labeled as a "Tactical Tidbit" where I introduce and briefly describe a concept essential for improving gameplay. The length of the video is only 5 minutes, be sure to check it out!

In addition, if you DM me a game of yours I will consider analyzing it in a video. I am more likely to analyze a game using 1v1 ladder/seasonal/mtl settings.

The answer to your chocolate question isn't easy at all. It depends on the location, in a small shitty corner shop I might consider $4 to be very expensive, and in a luxury hotel I will buy it for 5$ within the blink of an eye because it's hella cheap.
Same is true for Warzone bonuses often times

I mean, you could spend a lot of time time discussing the nuances of chocolate, but I'm trying to keep to basic rules of thumb here, so that I may describe an idea in 5 minutes or less.

Sure, there are absolutely times to be picking inefficient bonuses. (classic inefficient 6th to counter a 4/5 comes to mind). But I wouldn't normally pick inefficient bonuses unless I have a very good reason for doing so.

it's actually not a long discussion, Lindt >> everything.
But yeah fair enough, efficient bonuses aren't a bad idea.

hey *hands over cease and desist letter* are you using tactical? dont you know i used tactical first!! im suing you for 1 billion dollars. i hired the same lawyers as fizzer so you're screwed, buck-O!

Screw efficiency, it is just +- 3 armies. Position is more important.

Whether position or efficiency matters more depends wildly on the template and sometimes even the board on that template. +-3 armies is pretty massive tbh, a lot of times even 1 army makes a difference.

Here's another tactical tidbit, this time addressing efficient armies ... although you miiight want to wait for the HD one to come out to read the numbers lol: https://youtu.be/QZlNq4PBofg

Up next, inspired by ps, I will also do a take on this topic:

Losing in Warzone: Dealing with your losses.
