Who has the best winning chance?
demonhands (05/27/2008 01:10pm):
interesting
Ducky (05/27/2008 03:21pm):
Needs a slight re-arrangement. Black doesn't need to worrry about orange getting to them.
Ducky (05/27/2008 03:22pm):
Unless that was the intention in which case maybe black has the best chance? not
neccesarily but possibly.
amthc356 (05/27/2008 03:33pm):
Why not just put the infantry on the HQs? What's stopping Sturm infantry from going to the
other countries' infantry and killing them? Why are there cities at the bottom?
demonhands (05/27/2008 09:51pm):
just cos
RipperX (05/27/2008 10:27pm):
ive got my money on BD

In this map there is a good chance for OS to win if they have 5 infantry like BD, but BD will
probably win if noone captures their HQ.
In fact, the person who is lucky enough not to have their HQ captured by Day 2 should win.
Harmony Bunny (05/28/2008 09:25am):
OS can't capture BH but BM, GE and YC can. That's not a problem.
Ducky (05/28/2008 04:26pm):
I just meant because they said "Who has the best winning chance?"
Harmony Bunny (05/28/2008 08:43pm):
Well, I guess no one has the best chance of winning. Everythings depends on what the
different players do.
kookysooky (06/01/2008 08:17pm):
think the missile silos are too much of an FTA counter. that enables the later countries
to capture the other hq's first, if they're in danger. the infantry counter, I think, is
good enough.
everok (06/08/2008 12:56am | Edited: 06/15/2008 02:21am):
Short version, all luck.

this. None of the earlier countries are going to capture someone who's already being
captured, and the later countries can just launch a silo at whoever's trying to capture them
and capture their HQ, and eliminate threats. If you don't believe me, check the map analysis
Panda Lover (03/22/2009 05:22pm):
Sturm would better be banned because he can move quickely enough to prevent his neighbours to capture his HQ
Darth Hawke (04/26/2009 09:39am):
No, it takes 2-3 turns if the person is Sturm to attack the person next to it. When people see
that he's on the move, they'll capture his HQ, so he'll have to attack 2 people capturing it. The
best ban is Sami, since even if she's hit by a silo, she can still capture an HQ in 2 turns.
crazycolorz5 (05/03/2009 12:24pm):
I don't get it, with all the HQ's, but I think yellow has the best chance.
blankets (05/20/2009 05:42pm):
Adding units would probably make YC and BD the most successful at capturing every other
HQ, only difference is BD has an extra unit and a silo...
phantomlordozai (05/25/2009 06:43pm):
hhhhhh.

Darth Hawke (06/01/2009 11:59am | Edited: 06/20/2009 10:39pm):
Another good ban would be Rachel. As soon as Rachel would be hit by a silo, if
successful at capturing an HQ, she would have fully health Infantries.
ross10 (06/04/2009 06:13pm):
ban sturm and rachel and virtually any1 with move bonus, especially urban move bonus
Falconewing (06/06/2009 02:24pm | Edited: 10/04/2009 08:12am):
Found out a way to not ban Sami..^^
DuelStriker (06/16/2009 03:26pm):
I agree with amthc...
bmm95 (08/13/2009 04:06pm | Edited: 08/13/2009 04:07pm):
i dont get how to join games. can someone tell me
Artemis54 (08/29/2009 12:50am):
its just fun to take the risks.
a9977321 (11/28/2015 10:53am):
In these games I do find that my fate is decided by others....... And in those battles
between OS BM GE YC, OS can take out any of the rest....... While YC has no chance if
OS BM GE decided to deal with it. Maybe we can have missiles for everyone, while BH
and countries taking turns after BH have two missiles?
srstarry (01/06/2016 09:31pm):
I have totally revamped the map to make it looks nicer, and look more like a normal map

The ONLY CO ban i recommend is KANBEI.
the only CO i would partially ban is STURM (i will balance him later, he is too strong now, because
of his movement bonus)

improvements:
Now there is a luck/random factor involved. if you choose a CO with +0 atk, u will 50:50 one hit KO
the mech. if you have +1atk, u will have 100% one hit KO. sturm cant be one-shotted, and grimm will
always one shot the enemy.

the game is balanced around
1) Sturm (-2/2), Von Bolt (1/1), Max (2,0), Grimm (3,-2), Sami (-1/0), Hawke (1,0)

choosing a defensive CO will delay your death, but make it slower for you to start capturing
choosing an offensive CO will make you start capturing earlier, but will speed up your death and
might force you to launch missile
Slazzy (01/28/2016 06:35pm):
Urban move bonus? xD
a9977321 (03/24/2016 10:48pm):
I come to the conclusion that there are too many properties for players to rush to hq immediately.
