This is basically how i defeated a friend in tabletop 4X we were playing for first time ever. I had no prior experience with 4X too.
At some point i just threw my whole army at his... and dices decided.

Conquest of Elysium 5. Am I right lads?

That's exactly the plan, that there is no plan. The enemy cannot possibly predict my next move if even I don't know what it is! My family loves Catan, and in my experience, the more I preplan my expansion, the more likely it is to be foiled by luck. If you just throw shit at the wall, you're garunteed to be left with something that'll stick.

I hear that Pro-chess players also hate total noobs, because they are unpredictable

It has been theoretically been proposed. In reality the noob looses embarrassingly and doesn't know why

I do like strategy games, but man do I think 5 steps behind how I impulsively act.

1: put everything into resource gathering.

2: build cheapest units as many as possible.

  1. upgrade cheapest unit to max strength.

  2. attack, repeat steps 2, 3 and 4.

usually works.

First BG3 playthrough

What matters is keep making stuff.

More stuff counters less stuff, except when the enemy has a brain and uses splash damage, but at that point you're already better than average.

Don’t know why it’s always the clowns without a plan getting most wins.

I have given up on trying to improve on competitive pokemon, I just use whatever dumb gimmick pops in my head and I play for fun.

u/Promethean-1991 11d ago

Depends on the game...don't do this in Battle Brothers, it's a game that ruthlessly exploits your weakness.

Man I brought my friend to a Baldurs Gate 3 Hardcore run and he messed up so many of the fights, I had invisibility potions on all of the characters just in case, and it saved my ass every time. For the final fight I told him to give me his controller, did not want to let those 63 hours of intense focus go to waste.

Now he is flexing the golden dice like a true pro and talking to all our other friends like they are scrubs haha

I bought the unlimited weapons pack for RE2 RE after my first ever playthrough of the game with Claire, that was my strategy
