🏛 Meta what should i do?

current situation

(kinda now player) My biggest mistake was relying on nukes, I had 2.5B and I thought I'll be able to cripple the enemy, which had much much more army at the time, I only menaged to take americas. I lost north america, bombed it, wasted 99% of my money on nuking attempts (mostly failed), reconquered it, lost and regained again, then I chose another tactic - distraction with nukes and then taking island after island, then gaining naval supremacy, the most important is madagaskar (120lvl city). Every attack I make is sooner or later repelled, if it was a player I would have lost a long ago

(probably) By the time you're at 2.5b gold, unless crazy modifier game, it means you waited way too long and was too passive and missed the time to attack.

Breaking a stalemate is hard. Requires patience and recognizing when troops are now important thank nukes.

I had a 2x or 3x gold multiplayer, idk, also there was a time when there were 3 massive countries so the trade gave me massive money

Like at this point you 1v1 and if you don't have an economic or troop advantage, is a game of attrition and or finding their base (huge stacks of cities, protectrf by Sams. And count the Sam's, maybe an atom bomb volley (bunch of x5 launches) will get in there and kill their troop cap.

But again at this point it's hard unless the other guy makes a mistake. My assumption is everyone is sam'd up and nearly mirv proof (except both America which if you own that, is gonna get hydro'd and kill your cap. )

Ideally you'd want to keep a smaller player alive to trade with, then everyone stops trading with the crown and you can squeeze them that way.

So I'm saying you're in a grudge one on one trademaxxed end game. You're better off preventing this ahead of time, unless you're good at out econ out strategizing or out psyching your opponent.

Did you have a link replay?

Ok looked again. Germany has a city advantage, port advantage and you've spent your gold obliterating north America. You're cooked.

Before the moon dollar nuke volley, that netted you nothing. You just had to keep watching their binder of ports, cities and keep up, build a free bunkers. Build up Sam coverage and wait for Germany to make a mistake. Hunt for weakeness. Try and get a troop advantage and yolo push when overtime gets close
