    • Playing a different game style than normal.

      OK, so I'm playing a Flashpoint map game with my young Padawan, with me as Germany, and my protégé as Italy, and we are the New Axis coalition. Now normally, I'd just expand on out at maximum speed (that is still defensible) and in just a few days, all the noobs would get intimidated and quit.

      THIS GAME, I'm slowly conquering while devoting most of my efforts into making my Homeland secure while concentrating heavily on resource production.

      So far, this seems more fun. I get to watch my protégé go, not as many quit as usual, and I'm on day 8 with at least 11 active players BESIDES me and my Padawan.

    • Im playing Japan for first time and going well... but going into China takes forever and those big / slow prov do not fit my style; plus he was at war with Russia and ran north. Damn some of those prov. you would have to build an airfield every prov.

      Have front pushed to edge of europe but now trying to get Anti tanks there takes 2 days ;( well down to one day with a logistics highway.

      Have second set of units taking phil and indoneasia, which fits my navy / air style.

      Oh yeah, stay away from the Congo. But other African countries (Chad, Mozambique, Mali) should be fine.

      I wish more games were like this. Focus on defensive playing with heavy resource investment. Imagine if every country did this. I just want one game like that. The fights would be intense and fun instead of speedrunning every time.

    • screw that.. in boxing match how exciting would it be if both fighters sat back in corner resting and building strength for a few weeks.

      you take the fight to them and knock them out. Strike first .. strike.. hard.. no mercy

      Oi Buckeye, I appreciate that you are a good speedrunner, but this isn't COD. I wish they had separate lobbies for our different playstyles.

      naw.. good as is when you are building for day 60 ill take you out day 25 ;) I take out potential
      threats before they can actually pose a threat.
      You’re the exact kind of player I drop to gold to wipe. The last thought you have before archiving that game as a loss will be, “damn I shouldn’t have been such a speedrunning spazz” :D

      Maybe one day you’ll learn to enjoy the game as it was intended.

      Well, like I said, I'm playing differently, this game really isn't about me, I've slipped from 1st to 3rd in the last few days, but I'm confident I could wipe anyone and everyone on the map by myself, but I'm training a Padawan

      For example, I'm the only one that even HAS a navy
