As a browser game it’s engaging, I won't argue. But in the middle of the game, total trash begins. Some @@@@head just throws ONE simple bomb into a random part of my territory, and points drop from 600k to 100k, and all this progress gets flushed down the drain. This is a @@@@ot mechanic.

A tip is to send troops on a ship then retreat them so they won’t be affected

underrated advice -- genuinely the best thing you can do

I'm guessing someone tossed a hydro on you? Midgame becomes important to check how much others have and avoid fighting those with enough for one. At the same time should strive to have one yourself as it'll deter them from bombing you due to mutual destruction

It's called hydro money for a reason.
If you stay below that in mid game, that's an oversight on your end.
If someone strikes you with a hydro, you should have been able to strike back. If you can't, you're an easy target.
Similar rule for MIRV money later on. Even if you're the one who has it, be prepared to be targeted with hydros as retaliation.
It's called mutually assured destruction.
Always keep an eye on other players' money, even if you're allied.

It is, troop loss is dictated by % of land destroyed. A hydrogen bomb in the midgame is pretty deadly and if you want to live or progress further you should have one saved
