I wish this AI wasn't so predictably stupid. There are a few moves the computer makes that are just beyond ridiculous. Notably the Kamikaze-style suicide attacking that always leaves it vulnerable to losing a city. Kind of takes the fun (and challenge) out of playing when you can always rely on the computer sabotaging itself.

One war lasted 100 turns... I was Violetnam, who just killed Redosia and the last empire standing was Bluegaria, which killed Greenland. Border struggles with Bluegaria lasted around 30 turns, then i capitulated because it was a pinpoint stalemate. But it turned out that I surrendered on the 100th turn! Wow!

When I'm about to win, I like surrounding the enemy capital with 99s, and then signing a pact with them. They break it the next turn, and then they die.

A challenging yet simple game that is put together very well. The only thing that would make it better is a multiplayer

Finally, at the zillionth attempt, 649877 is conquered on hard mode by the noble warriors of bluegaria! Feel the pain of defeat, oh underlings of greenland, redosia and violetnam. The strategy was quick occupation of the centre ground long enough to build up a navy to sail from Dallas, then retreat to the bluegarian peninsula while the navy, ravished by their leaders inspiring speech, quickly overran greenland. Then followed a desparate struggle to hold on while an invasion fleet was assembled to strike at violetnam's capital. With the invading armies in place, Violetnam quickly fell, and then Redosia were lambs to the slaughter. 32 rounds...

783516. Completely different conquest strategies for each country. Advantageous for Bluegaria and Violetnam as the attackers, and advantageous for Redosia, Violetnam, and Bluegaria as the defenders. Greenland gets it hard.

If you're playing as Bluegaria on map 254257, you should sign a pact with Violetnam. Conquer all the cities south of you before green gets there, and also take the cities west of you. Help Violetnam kick Redosia out of the mainland, and then send a few tanks to the Redosia capital, and also prepare some tanks to defend yourself from Violetnam. Once Redosia is conquered, Violetnam will attack you, but you can easily kick them out with about 7 tanks. The rest is simple.

Here's a good strategy: find a map where 1 of the kingdoms is on an island(make sure it has enough cities around it and make sure there isn't to less water) and choose the island kingdom, sign a pact between the kingdom closest to you(in the north), build up your troops while your safely tucked away in your island while the others fight. When you have enough troops, LET THE INVASION BEGIN

If you can win this map as Purple on hard you're a seriously good player.
As a side note, when I first played as Blue I managed to distract red enough that Purple actually managed to kill him, before I came down with a wave of 99 tank armies.

Journal Entry #209.
Despite frequent requests for the enemies surrender, and the ceasefire of 10 troops needlessly throwing themselves on the enemy without inflicting a single casualty, the leader of Violetnam has not given in, despite the incredible loss of morale among the troops.
With 21,681 troops stationed in all hexes not controlled by Violetnam, there lies an impassable boundary between Bluegaria and their eternal rivals. This is a war we SHALL win! http://i.imgur.com/PuuSoBc.png

@bullton The people of Violetnam, under my glorious rule, have indeed conquered all of the puny land that is 880204.
Actually, you simply have to rush east and sign a treaty with Greenland ASAP. Then, use the cluster of towns in the center of the map to push back west and defend your vulnerable capital against Redosia. Once you have pushed back their initial attacks, you should have enough troops to deal with them easily, so long as you remember to watch your other border and don't let yourself get backstabbed. After you crush Redosia, it's a walk in the park.

This reminds me a little of a really old game I used to play called Empire. (think it may have even been a DOS based program). This is a very simplified version, but still good in that it doesn't take as long to conquer the world.
