Conquer Club

I don't get it.....at all.
some people have said to start at a camp and go from there, but if you don't start with enough men in a camp then what are you supposed to do?
im very confused by this map....maybe im more of a n00b than i thought lol

any help is appreciated

I haven't played it much, but since it's so large, I've noticed people using the territories bonus quite effectively.

anyone else?

What I want to know is, where are the "Camps" on this map, Are they on the right side of the board?
thanks

yes. They're the parts that are on land, rather than at sea.

people play that map? i just look at it and my eyes glaze over... then, it all starts looking like a big bee hive or something... never even attempted that map.. kind of like crossword, pacific northwest, conquer man, valley of the kings and doodle ever... never tried 'em, have no desire.. however, having said all that, maybe i'll try a game on actium!!!-0

Yeah actium is messed up, especially if you don't have clicky lol

I'd play speed freestyle (tho you're freemie) since otherwise first player will get huge advantage. Unlimited forts would be lol and try to go for bonuses you have the most of.

try to start with the smaller bonus's and work your way out, or grab many territories

Well, I needed to know for a tournament game.....which I lost.
No way in hell am I ever playing that map again.

Thanks for the help though!

This map is atrociously difficult to play. Yes, the easiest strategy is to get the camps and build out from there, but a just as viable strategy (mostly on No Cards) is to slowly build up a fleet. The only game I've completed on the map I won as I firmly took Arruntius then blocked everyone else from holding any bonuses for more than a turn for the rest of the game. The high amount of territory granting bonuses makes this plausible.

I never use the camps.
I just get a solid base in the ships [normally in the lower right section and work out from there while others fight over the camps.

If you're play 1v1 speed freestyle then as ever it is good to take a bonus in the last minute. In normal games the terit bonus is very bonus and yes, camps are good.

I played it once, it was my first game and I won,was an no spoils adiacent. took the camp and from there I spread to the see.The camp was hold by another player but attacked it till I got it
