not tech savvy, bit of help please. Until recently when I wanted to play Hex I clicked on a padlock icon next to the address bar and chose 'allow flash'. The padlock icon has gone and now just says 'not secure'. I miss Hex and any help would be appreciated
Nilep, robot :]
9th or 10th go I think. Unit 1 Sarajevo, has to hang around (collects port to North I think) a bit cos Blue sits on San Marino for a bit but when free you can beat blue from the sea. Other units defense with one collecting ports around the sea near violet.
547106, Nilep, you will be relieved to know i've just failed 3 times :) Will continue later. You sure we haven't played (and eventually beaten) this one before?
Nilep; Unit ! goes straight to Tashkent then heads North up to Vilnius picking up a port on the way
Unit 2 Gets Bangkok
Unit 3 just goes east
Turn 4 you want to combine those forces on Tashkent, this unit is now strong enough to take New Delhi.
Up at Vilinius free up a weak unit that just keeps going up and down that east coast taking and retaking ports. Bangkok, Valencia and Venice now do nothing but defend. Between Vilinius and and New Delhi you can take Blue
Nilep, 'ports win prizes', on close games I have sent a unit two thirds of the way over the board just to get a couple of ports. Close games blocking is also crucial, sacrificing a unit so the enemy takes a town on the 5th turn rather than the fourth for example can make all the difference.
656690, I did it first go but have probably played getting on for 10K games over the years, so my 'hard' and yours are inevitably going to be different. Yes, it is relatively hard though so don't worry about that :)
Nilep, good news is that it is beatable but the bad news is I have been playing Hex for 7+ years and still took me over an hour of losing again and again! 38 turns on final go and had to use a 'speech' which I don't like doing. Good luck
nilep, had another go, took Athens and Kinshasa quite quickly, after that you should be cruising as you will have 2 points to attack Blue capital and then afterwards you can use Athens as your base to start hitting red. 25 turns and no 'speech' this time. Have fun mate
nilep122, yes, I presume you mean playing as Green on Hard. Sorry but I have no idea how to explain how. I did defeat them in the order of Red, Blue then Violet if that helps, I also had to use a 'speech'. If it really starts doing your head in I will have another go and try to give some pointers.
Sania, glad you are enjoying it! Yes the AI can be a bit odd but its still a challenge so maybe it doesn't matter? Port ownership makes a surprising difference so you might own more hex's but if they have 2 or 3 more ports than you it can be a struggle. I frequently send off one unit just collecting ports.
