Who else does this OCD thing in 1v1 trench games esp Feudal

Postby Ltrain on Sat Feb 24, 2018 10:30 pm

On all the good big trench 1v1 maps, I collect and move troops in a way that I'm not leaving any stranded of course.

But when I join similar games on esc or flat rate, I will eventually end up with a card set that will give me a bonus of 2 troops on that spot. and it drives me MAD if I don't fort it forward immediately.

Of course, if you haven't met the enemy yet, this is a good idea on Feudal maps. But I have lost a few games over the many years on the site because at a critical point, I decided to fort the 2 from owning the card spot instead of forting the 11 or 16 I had on a castle

Yeah, I hear ya.

I can mostly resist the urge and leave it in critical situations, but it does drive me a bit mad.

It feels like an itch i cant scratch

It does bother me but i wouldn t use my fort for that if there are much better things to do from a castle or a village. Sometimes... there aren't.
Also, to clear un the castle at the start of the game i often leave a troop or 2 behind.... that one bothers me the most and i tend to fort it before the 5 castle

Get a hold of yourself Ltrain :D

Then again I've seen several of the best players I have ever played with have rather absurd dice rituals in regards of what to do between rolls, how to roll, how to use auto etc. But end of the day that doesn't effect anything except taking time.

It's totally the opposite of me. If a bonus 2 lands in the outfield, I view that as a bonus for the defense, not to be used offensively. I'd have to be very desperate to send those troops to the front.

I feel this. I need everything to look right. It's like if I'm defending a bonus, I want all my regions on the border to have the same amount of troops.

This almost sounds like you believe fate determines the purpose of your troops. They emerged in the rear, so (unless I'm desperate) that's where they're destined to remain.
Surely you want them where they are most useful - regardless of where they are dropped - and in most cases that is at the front.


In case I ever team up with any of you OCD-candidates: While we are on the same team, you are forbidden to compromise strategy for aesthetics.

We never had this problem. For some reason I only do it in 1v1s/poly games.

There is a good reason for this in trench games. If you can survive while moving small troops that you may of accidentally left or gained +2 from cards, you get to move some pretty big stacks that have built up on auto deploy spots round after round and overwhelm your opponent. But the whole point of my post was to say sometimes, this backfires, yet I can't help myself!

OCD is usually annoying, but this is actually a good thing, no? For the first time ever, I wish I had OCD lol.

It's a good thing unless you are playing with teammates who win a 4v1 from an auto deploy point and advance all with no enemy ahead and you are all AERGOPIUSERHGOISEHRGPSJEROGTIJE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, there is no rule here, both leaving or reinforcing the troops is wrong under circumstances. The correct approach is something like the following. Let's say you have 2 castles and a village. (11, 16 and 4 troops respectively). A normal flow of renforcement will bring 15 troops this round plus 15 troops next round plus 9 troops next round plus 15 troops next round for a total of 54 troops. If you delay by reinforcing the 2 first, you will get +2, +20, +20, +12 respectively which happens to be the same total on this example (because the 4th reinforcement in the first example was a village, not a castle. Question is "Can I afford to be -13 troops this round, -8 next round and +3 next round and +0 next round in order to be 2 troops ahead after 5 rounds?" In this senario, it only matters how much the 2 first rounds will cost you. If you think they do not-which is usualy the case if you are in contact with the enemy, you must not make the reinforcement.

I consider this discussion to now be closed. do not fort the 2, Kaskavel hath spoken.

I'm not kidding! I'll put a smilie here for fun :D but he is right and it's kinna why I started the thread, which I didn't expect to last this long. The 2 troops or even 5 troops not on an auto deploy spot should be left where they are as the math makes sense to leave them

however, i can't help it...
