Conquer in 1 turn!

Hi,

Have been playing a few games now, was actually in very good positions.
All of a sudden, 1 player who maybe has 2-3 territories left stacks up all his armies and takes the world in one go!!!!
How is this possible, during attack, is it possible to get extra armies???

in escalating games if you take someone out and inherit their cards and the total ammount of cards that you have is 5 or higher, then it will force you to cash again. thats how the majority of escalating games are won.

Hey,
If your talking about the terminator game that red won he had killed people mid turn adding his cards up to 5 or more allowing him to cash in the middle turn. And giving him as many men as cashes were worth at that time.

sorry for repeating fast posted me.

did not read that anywhere, so thats how they do it, sit tight, wait for a weak oponent and then explode!

Or, you could figure out who you have a good shot at, and build, waiting for when the cards are right for you to kill them, and THEN explode.

If you're playing escalating - then stop killing other people to take continents. You may think you're putting yourself in a better position, but in reality you're just weakening other players so that other players can take advantage of it.

The entire mentality of "everyone is my opponent, the weaker everyone else the better," is very untrue for all types of gameplay; escalating, flat rate, or no cards.
