I’ve been doing some self play, and my preliminary estimate is that eliminating victory cities lets allies get away with about 20 less bid. That’s still a fairly rough estimate, but it does enable some very different allied strategies, it also lets them not have to force certain defenses as much as they otherwise need to, so they cna focus on income and positional advantage.
What is the most unusual/annoying/strange allied bid

Ok, new question @trulpen @Kvothe , what is the worst way to spend a +30 bid
French trannies!
-
I was thinking more AAA guns in America/New Zealand for useless
-
@trulpen even more useless, french tanks in north africa for italy to claim
-
No!
30 IPC for France!
-
@trulpen thats about as good as it gets

new zealand aaa cound be brought over
-
you can do things with the dutch, what about dutch aaa in suriname, cant move the units, but they’re technically a power
-
But they don’t have any units on the board.
Then you may place some neutrals instead.

@trulpen battleship in yugoslavia
-
Interesting though. Suppose a dutch inf would become aussie/UK when converted? Just like pro-neutrals.

Haha, how!? :laughing:
-
@trulpen no idea, would be funny if it was possible
-
Won’t be according to the rules. Don’t think TripleA would allow that placement either.
-
Apart from that, freakin’ funny!
-
i edited in a dutch battleship into the caspian sea against @surfer, and we just sorta removed it and we didnt talk about it.
-
**He removed it, not we
-
Aha, a fun prank though. :)
-
i wanted to put some dutch AAA in south america to see if you’d notice, decided against it
-
Eventually I guess, but probably not right away. Would’ve laughed about it.
-
Just put a dutch bs into z128 in one of my games. Looks so funny! I think I’ll let it stay. :grin:
