If I could time travel back in time I wouldn't kill Hitler, I would stop the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria. Imagine how much better off Europe would have been now ;_;
steve296: I loaded it back up and going by memory: 1. the hexagon 1 up and 2 to the right from Bologna where you can reach all three ports is the preferred place to move upwards through). 2. Use Blue and Green's advance, don't fight them, let them get in each others and Red's way. 3. Cities towards the top closer to Red's capitol are much more important than others. 4. Focus on Red's capital, move into the capitols attack range with 3 or 4 groups of about 30 so you can strike the capital if Red moves out, circle it to removes tiles from Red, take any and all ports at opportunity, try to steal back upper cities from Blue or Green and use a tiny survivor group to take land tiles in the upper middle. 5. After Red take Zagreb, Asuncion, Bremen (they will be lost again), middle cities, land any 100's on the coast closer to the enemy capitols. I think that was all but I had to try it several times myself, the key word for this map should be "harassment".
Wow Obaryb & others: well done! Thanks! I didn't think 966510 Violet was possible after trying when steve296 brought it up but I've done it twice now on hard with slightly different approaches (best at 30 turns) without using the motivational speech or treaties (I did not flank red from the east in any of the games but in one I took Milan then headed straight back). NB Purple is Violet (Violetnam).
pinoygamegeek: I don't think it's due to Chrome because I lag a lot on some games using Firefox on Linux. It's not my computer either because some games like for example Epic Battle Fantasy 3 which are filled with motions and "effects" (during battle) don't lag at all while simpler games can lag a lot. Often it's newer games but not always, for example that recent Tripod Attack horizontal shooter game which had tons of animation didn't lag as badly as this one nor did Starmada which should be even more demanding). If you're on Linux I'll blame Adobe, if you're not I'll blame coding ;D Annoying since some nice games become either unplayable or longwinded...
30878 red hard was straightforward and fun with a slightly unusual map (double/serial flank chokepoint to violet which you can eventually outflank all the way round to the bottom)
