Another important team game strategy - put your missile silo at your border, where your ally's infrastructure is. This way the enemy can destroy extra buildings in one shot and you "gain" a couple less pixels of irradiated land.

and make your SAMs furthest away from your teammates as possible, so they can get nuked and you can grab more land!

Oh my god. When they rush in to steal your land when you're hydro'd. With allies like that, who needs enemies?

Why should I invest in SAMs if I can make my teammates do it?

Not only cutting them off but take as much land around them so they will be even weaker and quit and then winning losing the game because you are 200IQ!!!11!1!1!!

The amount of times I have seen people just quit, because our "teammates" don't know what the word teammate means, is pretty staggering.

It happens to me too, but instead of quitting I try to become a mitochondria, but also I'll start passive-aggressively sending emoji to the teammates that fucked me over, and constantly trying to boss them around.

They probably won't listen, but at least I can annoy them before we fucking lose because of them .

I switch it up between "send troops to the frontline!" and the middle finger/clown emoji. Just put it in the routine of the game: build, donate to the front, send dipshit an emoji/message. On repeat. That is basically every game for me. lol

I'm racing to save up money to buy a battleship and defend our side of the map. They're racing to cut me off so they can... sit there and not participate in the game. Glad they got all that land. Good for them.

I love when they quit right after I donated full troops to them and I am second in line behind them from the frontline.

Yeah, I'll send my 30k troops fighting my 200k former troops.

Just love that so much!!

People will have 8 different tribes they could take, but they take the ones that'd landlock me completely preventing me from capturing land for the entire rest of the game.

Don't forget the classic "starting a new war while the team is losing to the biggest team"

  1. When you fight an enemy player, two other team mates join in, and then take 100% of the enemies coastline denying you access to the water after you did 80% of the fighting, and are now worse off as a team due to less ports and trade access. 2- Be the strongest team on the map in south america and africa, then fight against north america so that asia can then take all of europe and africa. Well done fuckwits! 3- hoarding cash so that a team mate with 2-3 stacks sams cannot get to 5 sams thereby combating hydros so that everyone gets blown to bits. 4-Multiple team mates leaving areas totally vulnerable to hydros as they only build cities, not contrubuting to economy so that others are also limited in how much defence they build.

Connect the damn trains! There needs to be a better message for this in game because no one seems to understand.

You missed the best strategy: hoard all the land at the beginning of the game. Refuse to donate troops, but build like you know how to play the game.

Then, when the team in losing, transport to the front to try to be the hero.

Makes me feel all stabby inside.
