So you all know that I made a guide for Australia a while back. Well, after I looked at it for a while, I noticed that it stunk. So here's a new guide for the continent of Australia! This one is way simpler than my old one, and is a whole lot easier and works way better for me.
The Tortoise Strategy
Step 1: When the game first starts, try to maneuver your armies over to Australia. If you already have Australia, then awesome. Move all of your spare armies up over to Indonesia (or whatever it was), to build up a wall. This is very important at the start of the game, because the armies are small and haven't had time to get into higher numbers. Just stay up over here for a while and build up your tortoise. If you need a quick army boost, capture the weakest terrirory next to you, and put one army on it. Just keep doing that every turn and you can get at least a couple of card bonuses.
Step 2: Now, the game's been going on for a few turns, and at least one of the weaker players has been knocked out of the game. Now, look at your opponents' territories with relatively high numbers. If your tortoise is somewhat higher than those and the adjacent territories to you are pretty weak, attack those two territories (I forgot the names). Now you've got yourself two tortoises.
Step 3: Alright, now things get instresting. Just wait for a few turns and build up your bonuses. Then start to expand outward, dividing your toroises into more and more. Make sure that you only get one territory for every couple of turns at this point. Once you get about one fourth of Asia you can speed up a bit. Just make sure that you have only one-army territories on the inside, and all of your toroises on the outside.
Step 4: Just proceed to go and capture Europe. This step is crucial, because Europe has access to half of the continents. While your doing that, take a big army to Alaska via Kamchatka and get rid of North America, and at the same time, get control of Africa.
Step 5: Now you have South America pinned down. Just take it out and bada-boom-bada-bing! You win! |
