When a city is attacked by 7, it’s reduced to 6 units and the fight starts. So if 1 neighbour put 10 on your city then you need to put 5, not 4, unless you have metal working and they don’t as the smaller army starts to remove units first…… 5 units means you lose all 5, the attacker loses 4, 6 remaining units can’t break down a city. With agriculture every territory can suppor at least 2, double that to 4 then attack with all and repopulate with 2/territory from your adjacent territories, it’s easy to get 10-12 units on a city that way… If the surrounding lands support 3 units, then after pop growth you have 5/territory… 3 next to your city and I doubt you could get enough units in to prevent a city loss. 3 neighbours taking 1-2 cities/round… and you want a low population to move last but this also means it’s harder to rebuild cities…

40 units AFTER pop growth or 20 before, 6 of one and half a dozen of the other… Yup 2/city so with 6 cities ya need 12 to live and 20+/round as fodder to protect 4 of your 6 cities/round, but to get 20 new units you need 20 units in 10 territories 2/territory. If you have 5 in a territory you only had 2 units during pop growth.

I just checked my game, 2 countries can win with 1200 and the rest 1300-1400. Since you can only own 11 cards and the cards are limited I’ve often found that you must have 100-200 points in your hand. In the event of a tie, he who has most points wins…

I’ve just never found it a slam dunk to win when ahead even by 2. I play with alot of pricks, theyco-operate relentlessly to knock the #1 guy down :-)

I’ve got shogun but only just started playing it, lots of fun! Diplomacy is fun, and best when played with lots of players and lots of rooms to slink back to and negotiate. It’s been years since I played, we used to have a box to put your written moves down for each turn, of course nothing prevents you from showing your “allies” you move, stick it in the box, then slip in a new set of orders with “Supercedes previous orders”, backstarbbing is the name of the game…. :-)

Anybody here of a game called Nuke-war? A card game. What about a board game called apocalypse? Map of europe and north africa, 1 kind of piece, chains of various valued territries to get more men (2 green territories=1 man, 3 yellow=1, 4 tan=1 or 8 white=1). Combat was simple, you pick a # on a dice and so does the enemy. If the # is the same, you lose that # of men, if not, you win, he loses a unit and you get 1 stage to a new nuke missle or start a new missle with that stage. If the enemy is wiped out, you move that # of men in…
