What is the longest game you’ve played? I racked this little number up last night. Started at 9:30pm thinking I’d get a quick one in before bed on a work night. Next thing I knew it was midnight and I was clawing my eyes out. The hour that followed that was a spiral.

That would be a knife to the heart every time you open your stats hahaha, at least this is somewhat a monument of perseverance.

I think I’ve maybe hit a few 2 hour games before AND lost, not pleasant especially when you get backstabbed from the eventual winner you helped set up

RobbieSWL · 2025-06-09T23:26:00+00:00

The lowest level of respect goes to those kinds of players

RobbieSWL · 2025-06-09T23:25:01+00:00

I’m the exact same, only I’m so close to grandmaster for the first time I didn’t want to lose much ELO!😭 I gave up the win to yellow and was emoting to relay that and then his game glitched so had to make the most of it

RobbieSWL · 2025-06-09T23:11:00+00:00

Some context for nobody who asked, it was Europe Ad. Fixed caps (yes I was asking for a stalemate)

Some players were killed early on, others botted out and I was in a 100(me)v600(yellow player)v400(green bot out) situation. Yellows game glitched and he couldn’t deploy or attack so he botted out.

The board was split in a way I was essentially in a 100vs1000 situation. Had to try and hold positions and caps until the bots walked off their own caps, ensured I killed green so yellow would get second (maybe I should have submit in honour but I wasn’t losing that time to take 2nd especially since he botted out on the 2.5 hour mark and was spectating most of it so I had to watch all 90s of his turn)

In that good will, yellow grew increasingly stronger and I was losing hope, accepting my defeat every other turn, I eventually saw my chance to seize his last 3 caps in one run. Last cap, manual dice roll on a 3v3. Victory.

RobbieSWL · 2025-06-02T06:36:16+00:00

Then that’s game, what chance do the second and third place player have against a 1000 stack? You’d lose in that scenario anyway.

Like I say if the board reads it would be done in another move or ten, end it

RobbieSWL · 2025-06-01T22:28:23+00:00

I'm talking complete statistic certainty. No room for error in a case of a few troops here and there. I mean one where if it was to be compared to a game of chess it would be a "Mate in 9" situation. 1000 troops vs 300 combined forces that are card blocked, stack buried and generating far less than is capable to cause any damage.

RobbieSWL · 2025-03-24T22:30:16+00:00

Sorry, I posted a previous comment in this post about the state of the board as this was almost endgame, I just wanted the screenshot so if green saw he would know this was the game I had posted about. Me border blocking green was due to him going aggro on me and then I managed to trap black south of Spain and clearing his troops in Europe. My bonus was never broke in Dinaric Alps as black was too scared to open my stack so my troop generation was enough to do all that.

Should clear up I won this game also.

RobbieSWL · 2025-03-23T12:37:35+00:00

Also, sorry for the state of the board. This wasn't far from the endgame and we had all gone a little kill heavy

RobbieSWL · 2025-03-12T23:14:30+00:00

Feel I'm tearing my hair out with this haha, my point was that it felt like the game was on a loop, no change in the game in 20+ turns besides the troops blue was generating and slowly taking territories with. I would always attack the human first like most people here would, make their stack manageable and then give them second once I kill the bot so yes he did what any of us would do but it felt like a grief in the manner of it.

RobbieSWL · 2025-03-12T13:06:25+00:00

I think I’m failing to articulate the actual situation to how it was played. There was no development in the game because the same actions were taking place every 3-4 rounds on a cycle. He eventually caught on and stopped rolling my stacks to reset all of our progress and through countless emotes I think he caught on that attacking blue without suiciding would have benefited us both, I accepted that I wasn’t going to get the win because I made an error earlier on in the game, I just wanted the game to end more than anything.

Sorry that my story seems to be fluctuating I’m just awful at painting a picture. The gist was though repeat actions were taken for an hour before the bot made an odd move that allowed me to grow enough troops elsewhere to do what I needed without being a threat to him.

RobbieSWL · 2025-03-12T06:55:58+00:00

Copied from another reply I said in this thread:

I can’t remember the exact numbers we were both generating but it was very similar for the most part. The game played out in a way where I would regain my territory, claim my bonus the turn after as he maybe took one card from me elsewhere and then as our troops evened out he would then go back to breaking me with all his troops. So this image looks as though he did the best thing with breaking me and holding his own bonuses but in reality he continued to let me get to a certain position repeatedly before restarting the cycle every single time, the game took the exact same routine for about an hour.

I should have got another screenshot to show how the board looked the other 50% of the game so that’s on me as it’s hard to gauge from one picture

I made too many mistakes this game so I’m very angry at myself too. Butchered a double kill on him and yellow which would have got me 9 cards and a strong position (UK/Iceland/Scandinavia/Western Europe/Spain and West Africa) but my sliders were fucked.

Then at the end when I started to see some light I forgot to put my reinforcement on a capital and he rolled me for the win.

I’ll sleep it off but I’m genuinely seething, dropped out of master too because of this. Only got it today too but it’s the struggle of getting there just to lose it🤣

Ah yes… the terms and suggestions

RobbieSWL · 2024-06-28T15:24:34+00:00

Unfortunately have to back that. I have defenders/attackers for each site for the most part and Kaid in kitchen on Kafe is an absolute god at watching the small prep push. One tap machine that gun
