Just wanted to write you back and let you know that I seem to have learned from my previous mistakes and successfully applied your sound advice
http://warlight.net/MultiPlayer?GameID=3548149 Thank you for your kind words of wisdom!
Regards form your faithful reader,

P.S. I'll send you pictures of x-rays of my healthy little daughter as soon as i have them! I'm thinking of calling her missy piggy, after you!
I have a complex conundrum for you to answer me. I have spent the majority of my life creating a computer whose sole design was to answer this problem. To my dismay, this computer was destroyed when the building was condemned to make room for a new highway. The computer was contemplating the question 'What is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything?' The computer spat out an answer: '42', but now we are in search for the question of which that is the answer to.
Oh gracious deceased swine, would you please solve this mystery?
Your most esteemed fan,
Zaphod Beeblebrox.
PS: Is it possible to get drunk then have 2 hangovers if you have 2 heads? I'm contemplating drinking a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster.
An important question lolowut, but one that falls outside the range of expertise of this ME specialist. Could you perhaps reframe the question as a game of warlight?
Dear Dead Piggy,
how do you decide if something is made of a molecules? what is the rule?
The magician doesn't understand how something like this could be pulled, what is the trick?
I need you magic o great deceased piggy

I think that for very new players, not cluster picking is a good rule. Very new players. Once you have gotten even marginally experienced at the style of a strategic 1v1, you must begin to understand the importance of only sometimes cluster picking.
Far too many times, I have played against newbies who cluster picked and have their expansion largely halted by blockades. They are stuck with an undesirably low amount of armies, and I often end up with more armies per turn then them. If they are getting 12 armies and I am getting 16 when no expansion is occurring, then they are inevitably defeated. If they have not cluster picked (i.e. are able to flank me), then they can severely mess up the advantage that I have from having more armies per turn then they do.
Having three picks in the same place is generally a bad idea, unless there are exceptional circumstances, ie. wastelands ruling out all but a few decent starts, or if your opponent is significantly better than you and a gamble is worth it.
bad. Your opponent just wasnt good at strategic 1v1.
Before looking at your starts, i'd have picked Indo and Austalia to secure you a nice safe australia bonus quickly.
My thrid, fourth and fifth pick would be in Africa.
That would have completely countered your picks. Even though Trollusa disagrees, try spreading out your picks.
This is a thread for players who want a second opinion on their 1v1 games from someone who has played a lot of them. Please post questions relating to 1v1 games and a link.
You triple picked! Im sure they werent your best bet, because after the first turn you have to expand into North and South Africa, which are both rubbish. There is also a decent chance you will miss one of your 3v2s to take east africa and end up with no advantage at all. If you had decided not to triple pick, where would you have gone? I will hold off talking about improvements until you do, I think that will be of the most help to you =)
I eagerly await your answer and thanks for your question,
Piggy
1 - he knew where you were likely to be and put huge armies on his forwarded bases, so he'd mess u up when he found you. you didn't seem to care where he was and were just expanding as normal 4v2 4v2.
2-you forfeit too early. he definitely had an advantage right there but you should have played it out for another turn or 2. maybe put a blockade so he can't get through to australia, and then try and take your bonus in africa and break his middle east bonus the next turn. depending where he puts his armies, you might be successful.
But actually the biggest error was that you forgot of quitting the game instead of surrendering:/
This way you would have been booted and then you could have complained saying that you were supposed to win that game because you are the best player ever.
Billy is pretty good in this lame stuffs, you have to learn from him a lot...
As everybody of course!:/
