It is because no one has the mental energy to play that god forsaken map

hands down the worst map ever created. and i'm not talking just about the piss-poor graphics but also about the completely idiotic gameplay that fails at even the most basic needs for proper game mechanics.
one would expect such a huge map to be a good balanced one where dice don;t matter that much because of its sheer size.
in reality in 1v1 games it only takes a couple of turns with good dice and the game is yours. sure it will be 20 more turns before the game is actually over but those 2 turns of good dice are enough to take a bonus and establish a lead.
on a map that has the lowest bonus to terit ratio, being the first to getting and keeping a bonus is crucial and basically decides the game.
the only difference between getting and holding a bonus on doodle and on hive is that on doodle the game is over within 2 turns while on hive it takes a long gruesomely slow grind where each turn you take 5-6 terits from the opponent, then he snatches back 3-4, and so on.

That is because you are playing speed games with 1 min and people do not have the time to understand a complicated map they do not know. If you were playing casual the results wouldn't be the same. More majors and colonels using BOB will join your games and your results would not be the same

You are wrong about everything you said. Actually you have played 1 game on hive 1v1 so I am not surprised
1v1 has the simplest strategy and that is why players use tricks when playing 1v1 (for example freestyle, manual or speed games). So do not expect a very complicated strategy. I believe that people with the rank of general or even Brigadier can play almost perfect after gaining some experience.
Now about hive a friend of mine (kaskavel) made it to general in no time playing Hive 1v1 and without using any tricks at all. He gained all his points by using a better strategy (a proof that everything you said was wrong)

I play plenty of games with people that use bob, are captains and above, have experience on the map and still beat them. If you are trying to imply that I have no strategy in Das Schloss I can ensure you that you are wrong. None the less bob is useless in a FOW game on das schloss in a 1 v 1 minute speed. You can see from the log what your opponent is dropping and how many regions they have. That's all you need to know.
Hive is more about dice and who gets first turn, I can assure you there is more strategy in das schloss 1 v 1 than hive 1 v 1.

Malabrose was playing freestyle speed games. The game play had nothing to do with pure strategy
