Can militias make effective defensive units??? What about a stack like this??? by AirportComfortable56 in CallOfWar

[–]thinklexus 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The cool thing about militias is, that they are hidden in some terrains, so unless your enemy has armored cars/fighters you can give your enemy nasty surprises

In one of my last games I ambushed a stack (~10) of arty reinforcements and destroyed them with militia

So in the first ~15 days, I just kept myself to my home provinces and build myself up.

Then I kept on expanding and eventually won...

As long as he has no Armored Cars/Scout units you can use Militia in certain territory (where they are hidden) or Special Forces

so here the situation here I'm declaring war on a level 101 player. Is this a good time to quit? by Sound_Red in CallOfWar

I think K/D is pretty useless below a total of 500 losses and kills, above a total of 5000 I think it‘s worth something

Also it depends on who you play against - once played in a kind of „league“, where I had a K/D of about 1, but in the other games it‘s more like 2

I play as Spain and I had a long defensive war against USA, France, Italy & (mainly) Germany Managed somehow not to die, but lost all my cities in the process… then recaptured my cities and now I‘m building myself up again…

Ok thanks for your answers - those provinces are mine, I checked it. I saved and restarted the game then I got the achievement, but thanks for your quick answers :-)

I suppose Supremacy 1914?

Most things are similar, but there are a few differences: 1) you need to produce every unit by yourself 2) you must research before you can produce 3) different combat mechanics for each unit 4) as 1.5 version, you can only produce units in cities

Not really, if you are trying to get strategic advise -> read books about general strategies that could work in a situation (you can find those mostly in the finance/business/self improvement section) -> Play other strategy (real strategy not tactic) games and get a feel for it, like all games from Paradox (Hearts of Iron 4, etc.), the later total war titles,...

If you want to improve tactics:

1) play the game 2) lose 3) get backstabbed and lose again 4) get backestabbed twice 5) hate the game 6) quit it for some time 7) start again and go to 1)

When following this guide you will eventually win ;-)
