Exactly but once you start getting around 2000 groups you need to get most land as possible so you get more troops and more interest on your total troops number
disagree. when you spawn use 100% to get as much land as you can (so long as your not next to another player). once your border come close to another player then drop your output to 10-20%. He sends to many troops out to bots and doesn't store any for defending. Gets rekt by players. Edit: So couple months down the line, this is a stupid tactic. I was wrong.
Tip: When invading islands make sure to set your slider really low, since otherwise you'll be wasting units that could be used on attacking players, and generally islands don't require allot of income to take

1:55 I've won that way more than once. Spawned in the Caribbean, took every single island on the Atlantic and the Arctic, then they left and I took over the world before the other island guys, then beat the crap out of them.
A few tips: Interest is highest in the beginning, so when theres room to expand, try only investing 1/3-1/2 every time right before you get a tick (bar right of the number) you might be behind for a bit, but you can outgrow most opponents and still have enough in defense to survive. After that only invest so much that you have mre than your largest neighbor. After that its just luck.
For team mode, try to pick a spot next to an enemy while a teammate us on his other side. Then when you finish expanding, give all your troops to your highest player
You can actually send a secret message to other players that only they will se by clicking on them and clicking the handshake button that pops up under the attack button
Drew pls read this, at beginning of games, expand when the bar in the box where you see all your power, when the 2 bars are near the top of the box that's when u expand, and use about 50%to expand the first few times then use less
Drew when you ẽpand you should only use full power at first and then reduce to like 25% of your force to expand. This way you can both save up power for latef conflicts AND have a decent territory
By the way Drew, In order to change your nations color, Be in the menu and go to the bottom left. And Click the button with the different colors, You can change the Hue of your nation that way. Another reason why you arent getting your colors might be depended on a certain mode called "Alliance vs. Alliance"
Use like 20% in the beginning and expand with some time between your clicks because interest is much higher in the beginning, that will make you stronger so you can expand even more when interest is low.
10:09 You CAN send people secret messages. If you have picked your emojis you can click on another country and click the hand shake sign to send a emoji message to them.
Video Challenge: without choosing a starting location, get to the location of your nation, ie name yourself finland and try to control finland from somewhere random. You win if you can get there
Hey, Drew, I'm doing the same thing as you, but I play as tribes, arcduchies, countries, then empires, I like to play as cities then repeat the process.
Just btw Drew, you actually can send secret messages to other people. If you click the button underneath the attack button, you can send them an emoji. If someone sends you something, you can see it in your bottom right corner with your other messages. Doubt you'll see this but at least I've tried.
drew a way on how to survive is to make your troop attack (the bar on the bottom) to greenish colour to get a bigger chance of survival for you have more units to defend your self and thus have a better offensive
If you send people to islands make sure the bar is low because you don’t want to send thousands and thousands of troops or just pixels to small islands
You can send a secret message by clicking on a person and then clicking the handshake it will allow you to send emotes without anyone knowing. Aside from the person you are talking to of course.
Immediately switch to 50% troops, expand every time the bars hit 50% (60% if there's no lag) after the first 6 times lower to 25%. Lower to 15% when you can't expand and you're after bots.
@@ukranianoodles6311 I'll have to give it a try and see how it is, I have a pretty good win rate with what I explained above but maybe this will be even better
If there was a way, I'd love to destroy Drew in this game. But since he lives in Cali, and I live in Michigan, I don't think we'd be able to connect and play.
Drew you can send secret messages when you click on another player, it shows a sword and a hand click on the land and send hand shaking to them pan allience
The thing you need to understand to play this game well is that as far as ive noticed the troup count goes up exponentially and linear, both being separated, so, espeacially on the beggining, dont expand like crazy, i always chill at the start for like, 3 seconds, then expand
You misunderstand how this game works, the "power" isn't related to territory, it's actually money which grows as a percentage shown on the top corner. The total cap of this money increases as your territory does
Heres a tip I've learned; Dont use more than 50% ever. Attack with the amount of people needed as there is a tax on the number of people you use; you'd lose more troops if you use 100,000 than 10,000. At the start of the game DO NOT go attacking humans, only if your at the limit of ppl you can hold should you attack or if there is a weak neighbour Try be patient and lose the least amount of troops as possible whilst getting land, so dont attack a person with a small space yet loads of troops. Swoop in for the kill when the time is right once again be patient Commonly unknown the amount of troops you get every 5 seconds is the same with most sizes except there's a limit on how much you can hold, 1 pixel 1000 troops Attack after the slider at the top finishes and you get the most troops. MOST IMPORTANTLY (other than being patient): STOP USING 80% OF YOUR TROOPS AT THE START! Your income will get much bigger if you just attack with much less, because of interest and tax on attacking. Hope this helps you get a win!
If your ever playing and attacking people, move the bar down the bottom to roughly 10% so your not sending most of your land mass at one country making you more vulnerable.
i always set the amount of troops i use to 50% unless there is a really bad war that i have to fight in order to win if the difference of power is not that much but i wain 99% of the time,if i keep winning like this i will be 100% soon but never attack more than 1 place at once unless you have atleast 25% more power than them both together. THATS HOW TO WIN.and yes GO FOR THE ISLANDS no matter what size they are, you can always go naval and win starting with attacking australia mate.
Idk if someone is seeing this but, here is one cool tip(not so cool) Lets say you are playing in mainland but suddenly some filthy noob comes and takes all your land, try to stay in an island i mean if you choose mainland try to be near islands so just in case it hallens. Also this wont let you win because islands or too small to no chance of winning if you are in battle royal but if in team you "can" survive and win if your team wins
Don't use 50% too often but it's fine sometimes. NEVER attack with more than 50% because then your army as quick. Actually, I can't explain this, I don' know how it works. I guess my tip is to go watch your "copycat" TheGraveOne. Actually quite a fun channel
Druwu, you are killing yourself before you have a chance. Start the game by waiting until you have 1000, attack unoccupied land, wait until you have 2000, attack empty land, wait for 4000, empty land. Repeat doubling the soldier count until all empty land is taken. You will be much stronger at the earlier game.
When someone attacks you in the beginning and your both about the same size. Ignore them, save up and ignore and wait to strike or keep expanding into the bots because the defense percentage will make them waste like a third of their attacking troops so if they're a noob and keep attacking you can then later swallow them up when they get too low on troops or over do it and someone else attacks.
I role played Spain and Turkey and got 2nd. In the Spain one I took spain and then Portugal and then Andorra and northern Africa (reverse reconquiesta) and took the Balearic Islands it was a Europe map but I guy called Player and numbers got all of everything else. In the Turkey one I killed every one in turkey and a guy called France who was the crown for the whole game killed me I survived because of A few Greek Islands like Crete , Rhodes and other Islands. It was very fun.
@10:00 you can, click on him left click, pick the "pointing man" symbol, then click the other nation and click the target symbol... tells him to attack the target
there are moments when your neighbor is larger than you and weaker and because your scared you do nothing. thats the moment you lose and it hapens every time. you cant wait out a larger oponent.
w8 the first bots to atk someone then atk them with 1k troops max, thats why some people have 300k troops after the bots elimination phase and some people strugle with way less.
fun fact: the romans are still the country with the 8th most millitary victorys

@@jsgamerpro2359 we do but mines is a bit lighter i think
WTF did you write Byzantine as
The byzantines are the Romans so I’m not sure why they wouldn’t include them
@@Ok-but nah yours is bigger
immediately when you spawn in, decrease your troop output to 25% and that will greatly increase your chances early game
And always attack right before the bar fills up
THIS. I always go 50% and do OK. You'll get more troops because of the initial interest and will always have some defense.
Yep
Exactly but once you start getting around 2000 groups you need to get most land as possible so you get more troops and more interest on your total troops number

Tip: When invading islands make sure to set your slider really low, since otherwise you'll be wasting units that could be used on attacking players, and generally islands don't require allot of income to take
But if a stronger player attacks you, the islands can be a backup and you can then occupy more of them and you might be alive in the rest of the game.

You boosted this game's player count tenfold.
"Can I get the Falkland Islands?" Famous Last Words.
Tip: is to try to put out less then 40% even in the early game
Stop sending out all your army. Send a maximum of 20%. Send your army every 5sec+ to build up a big force.
w8 the first bots to atk someone then atk them with 1k troops max, thats why some people have 300k troops after the bots elimination phase and some people strugle with way less.
Tip; if you want to survive, not win then conquer tiny squares
Drew if you try to get the islands with no people lower your arms count to do that
Tip: If you want to invade someone slide your bar all the way to the max to get max power
That's a bad idea
