in most cases you and your target will both remain with less troops and a 3rd player will eliminate you both.

yes, even 6vs3 is not worth it in most cases for the exact same reason. f you are just patient enough, someone will usually make a move and you'll have a much better position to strike from.

You do realize that if everyone follows this and does nothing, no holes will open up? IT HAS TO BE DONE... PPL GOTTA GO.

LOOL. that's absurd. if a conqueror joins a BR he's out in round 1 cause he would be auto attacked by all the people around him. so regardless of how good he is, he won't be able to do anything (except deploy his first 3 troops)

the key word is WORK. i don't agree with farming noobs or playing only quads agains low ranks or any other method used to reach conqueror but the point is moral or not they did put in a lot of time and effort into it.

winning 7-800 points in a battle royale is more than enough. there's no need for games where the total prize reaches thousands.

people work for /months years to become conquerors. it's not right to become one just because you got lucky in one game.
to gain a few ranks is ok but to jump from private to conqueror is absurd.

It's fair enough. Conquerers can come and win a battle royale and increase their lead by a 1,000 plus points in they're that good. The point is that they reach Conquerer b/c they work the system. This would be no different.

True, is not getting lucky, getting luck is just for surviving the first 10(let's say 10) rounds. Then you need to be skilled enough to grab the victory

Why not make games on large maps where each player would get 2-3 territories? That way there could be like 40-60 player games on world 2.1 for example. It'd also be more fun, less people would get eliminated on the first round.

Maybe something to think about for next year.

It is something we'd like to do. The Colosseum Map is a first test map where you start with more than 1 region.

don't do it 6v6 that's stupid. the chance of winning is 39.7 percent in the majority of cases you will fail and you'll both be eliminated.

if you really want to auto attack and make holes then wait till you're at least 12v12 cause then you have 50.7% chance of winning. you'll still be left with few troops and prone to elimination but at least you have a higher chance of winning the first attack and some points.

Colosseum is 2 starting territories. Perhaps that is the only one though.
