Hi I am not the best player ever, but I have a good understanding of the game and I am trying to help some new players improve. I figured I wanted to write an easy to understand and short guide that could help these players improve which would mostly include battle strategies / techniques that are simple and easy to follow. I want to write a short guide on how to play well in general. The guide would include some of these methods below:

Attacking with Magic Numbers (2s, 3s, 5s, 6s, 8s, 10s, 11s, etc)
Understanding proper expansion (For example expanding to take 2 new bonuses not 5, not expanding everywhere while you're in a fight with a strong player etc)
When to enter full fight mode (no expansion, just attacks)
When it's best to defend instead of heavy delay
When to attack an enemy stack with delayed 2s
When to tap an enemy bonus with 1
When to ignore the opponent's stack

Clean-up
When to strike with priority
How to properly delay your attacks
Attacking stacks with delayed 2s

These are just random ideas I thought of off the top of my head. I just want to be able to give new players some tips for fighting and expanding.

I am not sure if prediction can be taught, so I don't know whether or not it should be put on the guide. Prediction is something you understand with experience, not something you can teach someone immediately.

If anyone wants to help me please send me a message in my inbox. If you want to troll this thread instead of help then be my guest. I only care about productive replies and I know a lot of people here like to troll serious threads, so I prefer you inbox me so we can discuss this.

Thanks. :)

I'd welcome some multi day lessons as i suck balls- ehrm, imean basket balls.

I am pretty sure everything you just listed is covered here. I mean, if you feel this guide is in any way, feel free to make your own. But that is a pretty extensive guide ;) (Yet, it only covers "basic" stuff)

Thanks for the positive posts guys, all of you ^^

@TBest I did show one of them that guide.
