I had a mid cap choke like that one time and it was so OP. The early and mid game i barely survived bc nobody let me have anything, but i made it to the three player ending as i was the deciding factor in who i wanted to card block. The 2nd place guy targeted me all game and would only work with the other remaining player so naturally i still didnt win. But while i had that guy utterly card blocked and suffocated on his side of the map it was so glorious. He started card skipping and you could see him realize over a series of turns the mistake he made 2 hours earlier by just ramming troops into me incessantly. It was one of those games where you question if it was collab or not. Assuming it was a fair game, I tried to work with him but he was too dumb to see ahead to when he would need me in the 3 player scenario. That's the thing with weaker players is they cant see deep into the game and anticipate certain scenarios. So, naturally, he lost, dragging me down with him. He slammed all his troops into me at the end and bc of the turn order the other player cap ran so I didnt even get to claim 2nd. I think about that game bc i wonder what i could've done differently but there really was no option for me, i was just targeted. But i still remember that game for how epic my cap was.
My inconsequential 2cents on SA position. Playing it with a stack in Asia is good, but easily punished much like the Australian position. If you keep nothing in SA you can be cleaned and stuck in Asia by two players. If you keep too much in SA, ANY other player can clean you from Asia and force you to skip or break. If you keep a mostly even split of troops in both then you can still get smacked out of one and stuck in the other. So while it is the best good neighbor option, it does leave you very suseptible to being the next progression of the board state.
Your videos made me begin in Risk for the first time , 0-5 at the moment , not the best player , so back to your vids to learn, regards from Spain man.
Case in point for the question. Yellow was a master 😲 Yellow was very low threat and very low speed and I find it hard to believe they have ever won a game, they will generally come second is my bet.
You don't need to get first place to gain rank points and his playstyle of cap stack and pass almost guarantees a high placement because whichever player has the most advantage on the board like Pete in this game will target higher threat players first. Plus, by extending to take an early bonus and usually using off cap stacks to guard said bonus, those players make themselves easier targets to kill. Also, it's not impossible for him to finish first place with this strategy. You can play like a noob and just have other players play worse than you and feed you the game.
Hi Pete, it would be good to hear where you would place your cap if you were the other players. Also if you could highlight why they placed in good or bad positions when they start the first turn! Thanks!
I would have broken one of the purple ones on italy fairly early on just to see if he instantly retakes which would indicate a hold on the bottom of splitaly.
Awesome game and phenomenal cap! This was much more fun to watch than the drama that is election night tonight. Strategy question. Why did you not expand from your cap location and go to the bottom section?
Both red and blue had castles and Pete had to watch out for attacks on his castle. I remember seeing him go to 11 on his cap, then because noonr came at him did not stack it higher for a number of goes, in fact Pete's castle did become highly vulnerable, but noone even ever tried. Did you pay them Pete, no way could I have that castle without 3 players casting next to me and rhe whole board coming at me.
Ive been curious, is it possible for the entire map to not be accessible due to blizzards? Like in this scenario, all that needed to happen was one blizzard where you capped, is that possible? Can the board be entirely split by blizzards?
Only if you have Stable Portals enabled to connect to two sections. The game checks the board connectivity and will not place a blizzard that will block pathing.
Damn shame there's no 'save the board' option so other people can play the extreme config's. Airline pilots fly simulations of disasters, and honestly I can't see getting away with that cap being anywhere near the average outcome. Hardly ever does the board let anyone hold +8 in territories from move one. What are the odds on that alone? And yellow sooo slooow to take his primary bonus and never moved into his secondary. Like I said, pity there's no option to save the board and let others try it out.
It's been a hot minute since I watched your videos.....and I have one question. What on earth did you do to your hair?! 😵 I mean. It looks slick! But it also looks like a finance broker with belonging associations 🙃 For real though. If you feel fresh and feels right for you keep it! Just came as a bit of a curveball compared to how I remembered you 😅 Looking forward to watching the video though! ❤
I do like it, but I'll admit I'm hot all the time now. I've never been able to grow my hair out really because I didn't want to have to wash all the dirt and grass out of it every day so this is a new change for me. We'll see how it goes.
A great cap, but it sadly never got attacked, so the awesomeness was wasted. All the other players were terrible! Yellow has to be the slowest player I‘ve ever witnessed!
Does yellow really deserve second (ik he didnt get it) for doing literally nothing. Attacking 1x per turn and turtling on cap, might as well not have played
I don't think yellow deserves higher placement, he does not deserve it playing so slow like that, it did hand you the game but it's was just terrible to witness
Peteman has begun his villian arc, but as a Canadian villian, he's sorry about it
We pour some maple syrup out for our dead enemies
I'm very sorry about it
Nah, you're sorry "aboot" it :D
😂
I’ve been waiting for this vid for a week, no spawn will beat this
let's go!
u mean no spawn will Pete this

FINALLY A CLEAN SPLIT CAP
I've heard the legends about this cap, what a blizzard combination!
I was so hype about it

Agreed. I'm never happy to go for sa
Close enough, welcome back Rivertown Advanced.

So you're one of these crazy Spanish players?! 😂
Jk, wish you a nice journey to grandmaster :)

SHIT
THAT CAP IS EPIC!
Haha! Definitely
I noticed Blue got a set as soon as you stopped ‘praying’ 😂 GG Pete
Just what I needed! Some Pete. A nice break from the election madness 😅
There's an election?
Wow a first for spoiler blocking

The classic cap stacker passer
Can get you to Expert easily if your prepared for a boring game.
I didnt feel like rewarding that today
The character arc from hero to villain. Nice
I am the bad guy
Your reaction to purple botting had me rolling.

A cap like that is so fun but also so dangerous! Happy it went well!
Haha for sure! I wanted to go for the crazy game though
BLIZZARDS are in fact the best way to play Europe, this game is proof. Makes the games more exciting, different and less repetitive.
YURRRRP
just as the prophecy foretold.
A nice reskin of River Town Advance! CAP THE BRIDGE
I wonder if General Viswanathan is a reference to the former chess world champion
Love the new dark side Pete.

I feel like I expanded when I could. I had to let the other players naturally go into eachother first.
Purple botting saved him the second placement

@@desyncer thank you so much!
Only if it's connected elsewhere via stable portals
Right in the middle of the map man map man map map map man man
A normal snowball would have been easier lol, but still cool.
As in running out of one of the pockets?

Oh man that would be fantastic. Both saving interesting combinations and creating our own
Wow that was an amazing crumbly cookie!
Om nom nom
yellow is an expert?
Amazing spawn Pete ...❤❤❤
why is it not a good idea to go for the edge of the board as a starting strategy?
this is the ultimate rivertown advanced
Haha indeed
Had a cap almost identical to this cap a couple days ago. I indeed lost, I couldn’t hold a single bonus 😭
Damn!
that is a WILD Cap

Awesome Cap
Absolute unicorn cap.
Yellow didn’t deserve third let alone second.
He had a game winning position but played it in the most pathetic style imaginable.
Yeah the do nothing cap stacker isn't someone I feel all that inclined to help out
One Capital to rule them all
What a game!
SPOILER Shield 🛡
This is the cap to end all caps.
watching this while the election is going on in the BCKG :D
There was an election?
THE DREAM CAP
bad ass Capital o7
it was the people's choice capital
Hey Pete, it’s my birthday!
Happy birthday!
How old ru?
What’s your SSN?
A great cap, but it sadly never got attacked, so the awesomeness was wasted. All the other players were terrible! Yellow has to be the slowest player I‘ve ever witnessed!
This is true. I won before it became useful
Does yellow really deserve second (ik he didnt get it) for doing literally nothing. Attacking 1x per turn and turtling on cap, might as well not have played
Ayo!
Just watched the previous game where you had a shitty Russia cap. This game will be the opposite
I don't think yellow deserves higher placement, he does not deserve it playing so slow like that, it did hand you the game but it's was just terrible to witness
LOL purple botting with the potential for like a 1-point +30. People are such quitters
Yeah it's crazy
U could have ended this early, 😅 drama guy
When?
Day 94 of asking Pete to oil up 🤤
Holy frick dude, you're still around
@ always am doing very well
