Tips for Mastermind

Lets put in a tip for the game that you know.

Assuming that there's 8 people, Rushing in the beginning wont give you a higher chance of winning.

Bum rushing.

In my experience:

1) Your beginning upgrades should not always be the same. Assess the situation and think about what you need to win.

2) NEVER just steamroll your beginning troops against everything (losing thousands of them along the way) in your way if you're playing with multiple people. In the long run, you're dooming yourself to a quick sweep down the line.

Try getting Religion first if you're playing on the Communist government type. Desertion is a bitch.

This thread is a great idea. I'll post everyone's tips on a page for all the users, so keep them coming!

so you mean that getting more countries in the beginning wont give you an early advantage? I thought it gave you more money.

Attacking other players in the beginning.

Heres a tip, use your instant credit as early as possible, it greatly loses it's usefulness the longer the game drags on.

use instant credit and normal builds in your capital as much as possible. That 25% off bonus is HUGE. Also, you can have two simultaneous builds in the same territory

Make sure you can invade/occupy whatever country you're trying to attack. Results could be disastrous.

When planning on where you want to start expanding your empire, realize which areas on the map are more important to hold than others, and invade/prepare accordingly.

Greenland is a strategic country in the early game.

Later in the game, very west Africa and very east South America are important.

Try to get information on your enemy first

50% isn't it?

what I do is first off u need to chose democracy as government then u get the upgrades:
-Attack distance increase
-satelites 1
-experienced troops
-advanced troops
and you wanna start researching power napalm (I like to burn people :3)

then with the rest of ur money buy the max amount of inf units u can and use your free instant credit to rush them and u now have 18k troops and with those ur gonna want to YOLO rush to ur nearest big country (china, United states, japan at a push germany, UK and the eu countries, brazil and canada) and as u go if u need to take smaller countries in the way send only enough to kill it and move so u dont get the attrition of an op attack and then once u take ur big country(s) u wanna put a factory and a shield up on it u can do this with up to 2 if memory serves

then u wanna go for the middle income ones if they are not already taken such as the eu countries, australia, brazil etc.

once ur opponents start to become established if u are fighting many active opponents u need to minipulate and chose sides if ur neighbour attacks someone else say u want to make a coalition with the defender and go for the attackers big income countries

u want to research TITAN SHIELDS ASAP they will be a bitch to take out

the biggest tip I can give you is BE ACTIVE AS FUCK
its much easier to kill someone offline than online so knowing your enemies time zones is helpful
trust me if ur active it becomes alot easier I've been pushed back to only a few countries before but I was too active for my opponents and I ended up winning the server

I feel like my tips are more like a guide by this point but oh well with these u can take out boosters, multies or whatever

Even easier if you find a player inactive for 2 months or something :lol:
