Recovering from a simultaneous attack

by **Yakinator** on Mon Jun 22, 2009 12:27 pm

I am currently in a 4 player flat rate game on Carins Coral Coast.

Several turns ago, I had control of Maize Silos, Bananland, and Dairy Farmers. At the same time, yellow has been pullig in 20 troops each turn for the past few turns. However, I am now coming under simultaneous attack by yellow,pink, and cyan. The only bonus I can hold now is Bananland,which only gives me +2 armies per turn, and I may be weak enough to lose Bananland and be eliminated. Currently, Yellow gets ~20 troops, pink gets ~13 and cyan gets ~10(soon to be ~16), while I am stuck with~6

I hate to say it but you've got little chance in that game.

I think the best you can do is keep that Bananaland bonus and make a big, defensive stack.

You should also try to trade spoils with another player (by establishing a fixed region which you take each turn and advance 0, allowing the other player to do the same).

well right now you are the wildcard in that game. Youre only option is to not get attacked. It seems you have figured that out now from the chat.

To be honest, I think your only chance is to pile up. just make sure no one would consider it worth it to take you out for your cards. You have to let everyone else fight that game now. Its still a longshot, and could mean a lot of time spent for nothing, but its your only reasonable move.

You could also try to make a stand, and just demand your bonus not get broken, and shift everything towards teal and hope its not easier for him to just wipe you out.

yes, consider just stockpiling ur troops and not attacking anyone on ur next turn. if u have no cards, then there won't be much immediate benefit for the one who spends his troops trying to wipe u out.
