Strategies, such as picking East Russia, West US and Greenland. Or, West US, East Russia and Greenland. Or, West US, Greenland and Australia. Or, Greenland, Australia and East Russia. Or Australia, West US and East Russia.

West US still has 7 territories, by the way :P

On the other hand doesn't that mean a double-pick West China now works?

AWESOMEGUY's post is incredibly smart. If Fizzer counted WR vs SR in this thread, he would put AWESOMEGUY as pro-SR (selection bias). But alas, that post was sarcastic.

What timi said.

It isn't that bad of a template if you have time and patience to do the necessary accounting work. I went from a sure win (if I did the accounting work) to a 20-30% chance of winning because I was too fatigued from work. I should have just not.taken my turn that day.

Why is the seasonal ladder so populated? Because strat 1vs1 is with wr. Everything else is just a cheap, failed copy.

i am sure in long term lot of players will re join.

for me only if long-term includes a change back into WR

there are 387 players joined in 1v1 ladder. more or less the same number of before change.
so...
also there 263 players in seasonal ladder, more or less the same numbers of the pasts season...

so please don't try to manipulate numbers for make people believe it.
1v1 ladder will never change back!

This update eliminated the 'Risk' from strat 1v1...

I still can't get into the top 200, even with less players in the 1v1 ladder.

how would you feel if you were playing chess and you tried to take your opponents piece based on tons of calculations and predictions and then a luck indicator tells you that you can't take that piece? Nobody would put up with luck in a professional strategy game and i think it is stupid that we had to put up with it in this strategy game. As for calculating your opponents every move, that is just part of being a better tactician. live with it.

isnt there more players in the ladder now than before? i remember 360-something right before the change, now there is 387. maybe it is less elite players now, i have no idea about that.

there are 312 players actively participating in the 1v1 ladder.

im confused, where did you find that number? on the 1v1 ladder page it says 387.

edit: i see 312 ranked, the extra amount is either people in their provisional period or finishing games started before they left the ladder. and who knows how many people in the ladder are inactive and getting booted from games but not yet kicked from the ladder. all in all the numbers can't be that drastically different than before the change.

but there is a lot of flux right now with some adapting better than others to the changes. and at least half of my opponents are still attacking neutrals with 4 even when it's obviously unnecessary.

The Leaderboard Page 7. There are 312 ranked players.
