Which country could be suitable for a low activity gaming?

Kaiservar · Aug 13th 2023, 5:19am

I want to play a game but now i have límited time. I was thinking in a country or place where to begin that usualy don't requires too much activity.

Activity level, maybe 3 connections a day.

what is your goal?

Win or Survive?
Solo or Coalition?
Experiments?
Something else?

Algeria in Flashpoint. Usually you will be left alone for a few early days. Take Morocco and Tunisia then you are basically an island. Then you have to guard your cities since all but one is on the coast I think you will have two provinces harbors to secure as well

Eventually you will be attacked since this is a war game. It’s to be expected

8 points of entry to guard unless someone uses naval infantry and that’s highly doubtful. I have not seen anyone use naval infantry in years. Especially since islands usually have harbors now

Generally any country in an pub game (with a little bit of luck, excluding NK/SK) can support checking in 2-3 times a day as long as you're using a "good" strategy.

I expect to win in coalition.

Well... i'm trying now UK

I wanted to play Russia, because i have experience with it, but it is hard to pick, so... i give an opportunity to UK.

I don't expect to not be attacked, in fact, i will do it, but i was thinking about a moderate begin that allows me to expand most sure possible.

I was thinking about Russia because is very easy to grow up if You Know how to do. I recently won a game with it in wwiii.

Another option was Japan, but i prefer european or best, eastern doctrine, because i'm fan of helos.

So, i try UK because it's resources and it is near the "action" but not inside of it too early.

Let's see...

OK - Based on that goal, my answer to your original question is, "Just about any country is useable/fine, so long as it is near enough to your coalition allies and so long as your coalition allies are active (active enough)."

Kazakhstan is good country to pick
No one care about you at start and in late game thay need 2 day to get to your main land
You have 2 supply city's with it better then UK so resources are good all you need are some aircraft

australia, far away for enemies except new zealand which you can easily ally urself with

Kaiservar · Aug 18th 2023, 4:42am

Kazahstan?... Make sense. I haven't seen many people invading Kazahstan. Of course, from there is not much to expand but for a survival game could be nice.

I have some curiousity about Australia, but it is too large and have too much coasts. It is difficult a quick defense. For other side, it have space to expand to Philipines and South East Asia, where are many VP. Sounds good.

bloodysong · Aug 18th 2023, 10:24am

The key in Kazakhstan that you got all resources in aircraft and artillery and no need to buy ship
And you can use all your army in attack no need to leave troops to defend
If enemy come near get your aircraft back thay are fast so you are safe most of the time

Kaiservar · Aug 18th 2023, 12:21pm

Mmm... Interesting. And normally Russia is taken by people that don't know how to play it, so, expanding to Europe is feasible.

I Will give a try. Thanks!

True. If you pick Canada in WW3 map and join in the USA coalition no one disturb you in early game unless you are poking them around.

I think Canada is too isolated and it depends on US goodwill or the "noobness" of the player. Of.course, the back of Canada is cared by the map border and nobody care to invade from far North. For other side, if you defend Halifax, the mainland is very difficult to invade from Atlantic. So, with US at your side, Canada is a very safe place to survive, but to win, it is more hard because the límited expansion spaces.

But yes, it is an attractive option.

Lol, You 1st make your mind. You need "safe" nation to have your build time or you need fast expansion.
