    Hi, TrickMeNicely,

    Well, for that game, I do have a "strategy";p

    But, it is a secret, don't tell anyone!!;))

    >>>>>>>

    I believe, the most "important" way, that someone might win this game is by diplomacy.... In fact, without it there is usually no chance to win.... The reason for this is simple : you can never go against the whole world just by war!;D

    >>>>

    Go for continents.... If you don’t even have a continent, then assume that you are already out of the game..

    >>>>>

    Usually, small continents are very valuable, since capturing and keeping them is easier.... However, sometimes it is good to go for a larger continent, like North-America, even though it is big.... Once taken, the reward is valuable and the path to victory is almost set.... I guess ;)))

    >>>>>

    The rest is : tooooo "risk(y)", to tell you!;pp

    >>>>>>

    Thanks, for the question!;D

    My regards!

    I always try to take continents that are easy to defend. South America, Australia can only be attacked from one direction. So I try to capture these and just load up armies at the point of attack. Make alliances and take turns attacking the strongest player so you deplete their armies.
