I joined this site several days ago and am still learning the ropes. I have had a few wins, although those were the result of luck rather than a superior strategy.
One of the games I've played thoroughly confuses me. http://www.conquerclub.com/game.php?game=7177126 For the first several turns, I struggled to maintain a region down south but never managed it. As I logged off, I was barely in second place based on units, and I had one small bonus. When I came back, I had more units than the two of them combined and only one space on the map had more than 1 guy on it. I don't know if it is possible to go back and see what happened, but any hypotheses as to what happened would be just as good.
In one of my games, I found a friendly opponent who shared some tips about the game with me. I have found these extremely useful and would be interested in hearing any more advice that others might have, no matter how basic.
