I am a huge fan of creating "battle plans." I like to take screenshots of a frontline and figure out the bigger picture, and figure out what I will do in the long term. Locating important targets to attack, figuring out enemies' troop placements, etc. Then, when ready, I will draw up my map with lines, pinpointing what certain troops will do, and how I will execute an attack. Doing this with friends is also fun because you get to see a variety of ideas, all looking at the same situation through different angles, deciding the most effective way to wage war. With larger nations that could smite you if you mess up, the stakes are even higher. This practice is just as interesting and can be as in-depth as the game itself, without really needing to do anything in game. However, I do not see a lot of discussion on how you decide what to attack, and why.
Do you feel as though creating and theorizing about possible attack strategies helps at all?
What are your tips for coming up with ideas on how to attack? Or how to decide on a long-term strategy for a country?
