Sheesh... forget to log in everyday, and get steam-rolled... y'all have fun. not much point in even trying to stave off the inevitable. so much for second strike changing how the biggest player can steam-roll the map.
GG, have fun

Don't feel bad. I signed in everyday and I am getting steamrolled.
Might have to rename the game to Golden Horde Triumph

Hanibel that's a terrible name! If the others had played even half as well as you, I would have been stopped cold and likely on the back foot. Well done, you deserve a medal (new feature?).
Lytol joined late and probably shouldn't have agreed to a treaty as that will allow me to get to 75% without opposition but he has been very active and has grown extremely fast, if he had been here from day one my expansion would have been stopped short much earlier.
R005T3R_D You put up a good fight and got some sneaky sea attacks in. Avoid mountains next time!
Rick was honestly disappointed you were not up to your former V1 glory, it looks like you may have disappeared a few days in?
Railhound sorry buddy! I may have come on a bit strong but you left all those bases undefended!
Hogan where did you go?
Johnny would like to see you play seriously.

-Kadath I thought I had a good "picket fleet" out there, and you were a safe distance away. Then life happened, I gave you about a week... and now my strategy of being able to see you coming from a ways out and prepare... is out the door. Oh well. I'll try something different on round 3!!

Can't wait! You expanded pretty far pretty fast, good use of transports... I'm likely to be less engaged on the next map and hope we get more players.
Johnny wondering if you could retool your AI to move for players when they are not able to login and/or enable if they are away or on vacation? It would be fun to allow it different play-style priorities (expansion, defensive, etc.). Or maybe one or multiple AI "generals" that control a certain number of selected units... might be getting a bit ambitious but some fun ideas to toss around at least.
I'm not sure how you approached the bots logic in solo play but happy to chat about my somewhat effective and frustrating attempts at creating bots! For me, every improvement felt like three steps back but did eventually manage to come up with a point-based logic system to prioritize and score the best choices in certain situations rather than just random choices. Of course, GT is a lot bigger than my hexagon game board system...
Kadath, I did join late. Was in the middle of moving, & didn't have a computer set up. When you landed on an undefended shoreline, I knew you had the resources to run me over, so I agreed to the treaty to buy time to build defenses. Just mis-calculated how long it would take you to get to 75 percent by a few days. Tough call either way. I just developed refinery capability 2 days ago, so up until now I wouldn't have had the funds for more than a short fight. Looks like you'll hit 75% 4 days before the treaty expires. See you in the next round.
Johnny, I'm loving having the game back online! We need to find more players!

I had the same thought about ai, thanks for the feedback, I’d been playing the ai a bunch and decided I need refining early but on a big map apparently I don’t need to push it that hard 🤦♂️. So even though I had tons of money when we met on beta, but couldn’t spend it on anything good enough to push you back. And then I found mountains! The swamp of despair! But not a swamp. Also beta I had only just escaped my heart land so I didn’t build refinery’s and didn’t defend my capital well enough! Btw I had 125 dollars after you took that.
Actually, what would have helped me would have been an alert more than a bot playing for me... "Enemy spotted, sector XXX by Transport XXX"
A new Charlie world is created. This one's a little different, though! It'll start at 4AM on Wednesday, and any unclaimed countries will become AI-controlled. At any time, new players can still join and take over an existing AI country. Curious to see how the world plays out with a fully populated world.
After this world, I'll collect feedback and see what dials I need to adjust overall!
Good googly moogly... And I was JUST getting started to fight!!

Funny I’m losing in the two other, but I’m still in both… wrote that before realizing I only held 1.7% in the beta, but I wasn’t defeated 😆

That was my only goal in Beta. Survival.
Once I realized how bad the situation was I retreated to my Island.
And is was just trying to keep GH from landing.

You survived the day and successfully held back the might of the Horde! Still say you deserve a medal or something.
Hahaa, ya I disappeared. I just checked in every week or so lol. My life is roughly where Johnny's was 10 years ago.
I'm gonna have to sit down and actually learn the game when I find a moment.
Congrats
