Hi. Unfortunately i can't accept, as you can see on your left also i'm the most present color, so even on this side i'm the one you would attack. What i can offer you is to leave you alone for a while and to remove my 6 more in the north where you are well placed (h part)
blue was the color i first won my gauntlet game in, and now i pick it when its available. Since i realized that when you own a player spot you get all their food bonuses too, ive been doing a lot better on the map.
It's been brought up before but I have no idea what I would do any different except maybe add walls that could be destroyed or something. I'm not big on the idea of just making 4 new mazes.
Thank you, but I fear I am digging my own grave... you show a great efficiency in your expansions and unit utilization. I look forward to defending my points against you! Will have to keep an eye out, all games were a pleasure! Even when you schooled me bad!
It's only kind of a flaw in the map. I was well aware that that was a possibility and that's why the fog is so heavy to try and give people a false sense that they still have a shot in the finale. The other player should still have a bunch more units and if you take the other Quickening you should stop that bonus problem. Yeah, it's a pain but it really just means that the other player isn't doing very well or is just camping out which is a strategy that I have yet to find a way to eliminate because I find it annoying.
The winning strategy that I've seen, and which I've used fairly consistently, is to aggressively secure a square ASAP (i.e. one of the four areas), cleaning everyone out of one, then quickly disrupting everyone else's attempts at the same. Remember, there's only one way to attack a square, and that's through the EXIT areas - that's only one point of entry that's fairly easy to defend, as opposed to *at least* two points of defense if you're trying to stay alive on every part of the board.
Also, don't be afraid to use the History viewer and see how people are winning. I was schooled by someone using that same strategy against me, checked the History viewer to find out how I lost so quickly, then adapted it myself. It isn't original, but it's effective.
Just want to give you some props for being a good sport on Gauntlet. I used to get smacked around on that board like a red-headed stepchild until I started watching the histories of my games to find out what strategies the winners were employing.
Worked like a champ!
