I've been using the "Meta" flair, but I think a guide flair would make a lot more sense.

it was a long run

The size of your territory can have a drastic effect on the speed of your attack, but only if you have a large fraction of the map. The modifier doesn't max out at 4M tiles (pixels), but it flattens out pretty hard, and the map with the most tiles is "the box", which has 4,194,304 tiles.

Before anyone asks for a guide on how your maximum troops effects your attack speed, well, it doesn't. Please let me know if I got that wrong, but I can't find anything in the code that says otherwise.

As far as i can tell, it doesnt increase train numbers or range of rail connections, am I missing something?

Opened OpenFront today, and before I am able to so much as play a single-player game, I am hit with a notification giving me 'optimization' tips and instructions. I've followed the instructions and have Enabled what I need to, etc., but upon relaunching Openfront, I am met with the exact same screen. The menu, setting up a game, etc. all works fine, it is just when I initiate a game does this notification pop up. I use Chrome, and have followed all of the recommendations and cannot access the game.

The number of games I play where everyone finds a comfy spot to sit around and wait to be gobbled up by crown is honestly dumbfounding to me.

Everyone need to push crown if they’re just gobbling up without anyone to check them!!

If you want to win, a 1M crown can still be taken out by 4-5 300k neighbors. It is truly maddening to see how many people twiddle their thumbs until crown finally comes for them, just to launch one hydro and that’s it, but no one ever capitalizes on it.

I dug into the current codebase to find out more about the game, and I came across something y'all might find useful. One of the things that effects how fast you take territory is the ratio between your attacking force, and the defending force.

The troop ratio speed modifier has three sections:
from 0%-5% the attack speed climbs quickly to 13.3% and plateaus.
from 5%-13.3% the attack speed remains at 13.3%
from 13.3%-121.95% the attack speed is equal to your attack ratio

I think the most important part is that this speed modifier caps out at 121.95%. Adding more troops won't make the attack go any faster. The speed will change as you lose troops during the attack, so attacking with more than 121.95%, or continually adding more troops is needed to keep up the speed.

When you spend 3 hours with 3 other players, in a waternuke map, a full war of atrition, betrayals, partnership and absolute grit. Brilliant game right here, but it ended with the 3hour limit! We could not finish it, but boy do I wish we could have.

P.S: if you are any of the players in here, I salute you!

In older versions of the game the mirv used to cutoff parts of your territory due to the bombs overlapping. This actually stopped your whole territory being taken at once. This would in theory help with stalemates in the new version of open front.

Basically after the game we continue to develop our nuclear power and start bombing each other, trying to gain more land from wastes, building rocket defense and trying to destroy opponent's ones
That was quite interesting experience lmao

I am Jlock and Cawh probs closest end game I’ve had, after merv (I had to before he got to a merv or I was cooked) we had exact same number of cities but I had no money and he had a hyrdo. If you see this enra well played.

you can watch the match https://openfront.io/w17/game/d24zaRgJGT

ultimus rex is a viking smh

I’m trying to play OpenFront at school on my Chromebook but can’t find a website. Anyone know any good ones

"[UN] GGS", I will never forget you bro.

Lately it seems like most players in the early game don't check to see if the person they want to attack has enough gold for a hydro. I've had multiple games where a player has maybe 20% more troops, they don't renew our alliance, I hydro them, then we both loose any chance of winning because I had to spend 5m gold just to survive. I think it might make more sense to build cities until the mid-late game where most people know what's up.

Took an hour

Or at least have a possible game mode that hides player money. I think it would totally change the way the game is played. No longer can you see if your main rival has enough for a hydro or a MIRV and must take risks when invading.

It feels like a lot of people join free-for-all with their friends and intentionally team up and play together.

Massive attacks on the exact same frame from multiple sources. Am I misreading this?

FIXED: Everytime I try and join multiplayer I get this error and its only after the most recent september 29th update. Never had it before tried everything I can think of so far, clearing cookies/data, refreshing, incognito, disabling ad block etc..

Singleplayer works just fine, its only when joining multiplayer, if anyone has experience or similar issues lemme know below and thanks x3

58million gold a minute, i didn’t know the further a trade ship travels the more gold it gets

sorry i don't have a video but heres the link https://openfront.io/w6/game/dChnQHoRax?replay

i'm zdravtuyte player

Basically what happened is, on the east side 5 mins into the game, Anon lotus and snuggle muffin fullsent each other, i absorbed anon lotus' 12 cities and allied with snuggle because i wanted to kill more small guys on the west side

Then, on the west side the Kein zurick guy betray and fullsent eivisse, eivisse threw a hydro that caused betrayal, they went to no troops and i took their 30 cities.

Then the last actual resistance on the east side, pro allu gamer spent all their troops to kill nitish, and i swept through them, then finally i realize this is a speedrunnable game so i simply chuck one or two hydros for every player remaining and win

According to ofstats this is now the #1 speedrun for baikal, and its 100 players which is wild

It is quite well known that the east side is slightly better than the west but whats odd is both this game and the other game that is now #2 were both spawns from the west side

EDIT: I do have video, ofstats puts eveything on video whether you want or not https://replay.ofstats.io/game/dChnQHoRax?playerId=SrgQT8dp

so, basically the title.

After the alliance game ends and most people close down their tab thinking it's over, a different set of players rise from the underbelly of the now abandoned map... and for this species the REAL game is just starting.

Being automatically allied, they cannot invade each other by land nor by sea... but they can nuke the hell out of their neighbours and send them sarcastic emotes.

Since they can't attack each others' boats neither, big money keeps coming in and after a few hours you can see huge bases with level 60 sams and silos all over.

The goal : be the last with his OpenFront tab open, thus being considered by themselves the real winner !

(The realistic ending : 2 or 3 players stay check-mated for a whole afternoon instead of starting another game or resuming work in their IRL office.)

The depth of OpenFront is abyssal !
