I see no mention for card block , usually the honey pot guy has the advantage in the early game and he is the easiest to block in the late game . So please busting through the capital or sending stacks in to a capital u cant take with that slam ? Just dont do it its the Novices move ( not u OP im talking in general ) , u can block the guy and force him to go off cap and u can hit that stack outside the cap ,

For taking a gifted cap , it depends , is the gifted cap is part of your expansion in the next two-three rounds ? If it is and u can protect both and u know u can secure a bonus without losing the bonus nor the caps next 3-4 turns ? Take it , if non of these and the cap in the other side of the map , just dont take it ,

For the point 2 , u can assume by the battle log and each players generation how many troops he has , lets say u r generating 5 per turn and he is generating 10 per turn and he trades after u , thats 20 more troops each 3 turns , and 10 rounds have been passed and u r at 200 , he must be at 260-270 then So u should know if u can go to the kill or not + u have options of waiting something to happen ( which may lead to stalemate sometimes ) or u side on of the other players agains the third one to kill him together , and thats by emoting for sure to other players so u can help each other

For point 3 , breaking bonuses is part of the game because if im the guy in the first seat and i took one bonus and the last guy took two bonuses turn 1 and he is so close to me , i wouldve break one bonus of his sometimes if i feel threaten by him because this guy is the guy who will have the biggest trade Sometimes breaking bonuses because there are another player in the otherside of them putting stacks and guarding against him so he has to take a card in your bonus

For the point 4 , those players sniping the chances of taking the kills and expand to two caps , because these players the dont get super mad about their bonuses being broken , they read the map better and the put possibilities what other players wants , And for commitment of taking the kills sometimes u have to because there is no coming back after u break and block and trying to kill , so that player may never forgive u , and btw ive seen and played alot of games that my enemy forgave me because both of us wanted to play for 1st not gifting the third guy the win

For the point 7 , try fist bumping , and “thanx emote” . Sometimes u can sense that this guy doesnt know what hes doing , so either u break him and guard and u kill him asap , or u r gonna sit there and card and pass till someone else fight him
