I had played these settings before but decided to give it another go after your last video. Got stuck with 2 passive woossies who wouldn't work on the other guy and just tried to take advantage of the other two's war. Took me 6 hours to get the win. These settings are hell if there are at least 3 people who know how to play decently
Pete! Just made it to GM as I've come along the ride with you. Did it in under 300 games which I'm pretty proud of. Thanks for the strategy and support, and the channel!
Green and yellow were clearly the same player in this game - yellow never attacked green, even when 'card blocked'. Green unnecessarilly cleard the bot guard on yellow to give them cards again - then the clincher: when you thumbs down yellow, green responded on the wrong account!!!
I really liked these settings Pete. It was slow but never boring as something was always progressing or developing, due to the nature of fixed TR. Great game as always!
@@TheKillPeteStrategy Yep. He said he's gonna try it some more. He also dropped the name of both of your channels and said to check them out. Gotta spread the love.
Theses settings are really fun until you run into people that don't use alliances to choke out other players from the game. But where EU prog caps stalemates at the highest skill level, I can't see these settings stalemating in a lobby of higher-ranking players that know how to leverage cooperation.
1:48:30 He accepts the Alliance and now you guys can talk, what an incredibly late move, it's honestly too late, they could have teamed on green, but now... That's not happening. 15745, the 19 was a smaller stack up in the british isles, if he was looking for only a card. 159XX is where I woke up from my last night and tuned in, I picked up this game about 50ish minutes in, boy the last 70 minutes have not been much at all, which is why i don't normally watch past 30-40 minutes unless it ends about 60 minutes in. 202xx oh man, you still have that joker, you've been holding it for like half an hour?!
Green taking 2 bonuses at 10:30 without a single troop loss is ridiculous. I don't think true random works for strategy tournaments, despite being way better than insane Blitz rolls on caps. Wish they could just make cap rolls true random, and everything else is Blitz.
Pretty sure that manualling matters. I have lost multiple times a 6 v1 roll blitzing and never when I was manualing the rolls time by time. Might even be an option to slider the rolls to always just attack with 3 dices. Did someone do the maths?
@@TheKillPeteStrategyI don't find True Random to be normal probability with its high variance, and caps aren't suitable for competition before or after the break, but especially before.
Pete, I wish I could make a stream because you seem like a great person to bounce ideas off of and have a back and forth conversation. Question(eventually) as someone who has been around a ton of mental illness be it family or friends, I have been around it my whole adult life. I have always had an understanding that life really is what you make of it. I've personally have never experienced true "depression", but that being said I see how easily it could consume your life if you allow it. You've mentioned many times that you are putting on a show (which you do great I appreciate your content, it's truly great and keeps me entertained as well as obviously many others.) Saying that I don't know your true personal life nor am I trying to poke or prod at what you keep private. I'm curious whether you find "putting on a show", which I would say requires a ton of energy day in day out keeps you happy. I my whole adult life have been around, far too closely with depression and anxiety issues. Obviously from the outside looking in it's simple to say just be happy, do what makes you happy, and get on with life. I guess with this context being what it is do you think choosing (I believe this portion is a choice, I have had negative thoughts, be it toward past trauma or just not wanting to do what needs to be done to maintain the life I envision.) to be happy/uplifting/exciting (whatever you want to call it.) helps keep you out of negative thoughts and makes it easier to just be happy with life. As I have "grown up" ,(I also live in Canada FYI), I have come to see tons of problems in society, the government, issues with family and so on. I feel I have chosen regardless of the struggle I may experience to push forward with a smile, of course some days are hard, but in the grand scheme of things I am happy on a regular basis and I do what I can to make others of value to my life (family and close friends) be happy or at the very least I try to be a shoulder to cry on. Rounding back to the original idea of this question and it being something that I'm hoping to open discussion with, do you think at the root, even if it may be fake, acting or putting on a face of happiness (making that "choice") can be answer or way forward towards happiness?
I do think depressed people choose to be depressed but in the same sense as the alcoholic chooses to drink. Once I framed my own depression as an addictive process I was able to get a much better handle on how to heal myself.
If the ten minutes run out it says calculating results and you win. If a player started out as a neutral bot, you have to kill them to win. I played a full season of the torture settings. Many bot outs. At least two people faked inactivity in hopes they could cap run while i was waiting out the 10 minutes.
Yellow and Green were obviously the same guy, just trying to hide it. Both broke pink in the start, yellow was the sacrificial account to slow down and cause damage. Neither broke the other when it was easy; green unblocked yellow for cards, and their actions 100% aligned the entire game.
Yellow decides he would rather remain card blocked than hit Green. And then Green suddenly knew when Pete was going to hit Yellow - just as Pete breaks the alliance with Yellow, Green says Good Game...
Question: What is the purpose of taking a 6 trade instead of just spending the joker for the full 10? Isn't the whole point of holding a joker so you can get a full 10 trade? is this just to prevent a dudes trade in the future?
Awesome game! Fixed might be slow but it never truly stalemates. With infinite time somebody will outgenerate the others and will win, even with the caps. In a progressive game this doesn't happen and the game can only progress with card blocks, bot with patience.
@@TheKillPeteStrategy Thank you. I guess ypu are right. balanced generation and passiveness will cause a stalemate. I'm just used to stacks smashing in normal games and never see passiveness from more than 1-2 players in a single game
Wow I never understand why people play like yellow. Break everyone to the point where you are losing more troops than you're getting per turn. Plus a bad capital to boot, so they're incredibly easy to card block. How could that strategy ever lead to you winning?
@@TheKillPeteStrategy Yeah, I guess if you're new, you might just think it's a war game and completely ignore that some semblance of a sense of diplomacy might be worthwhile
im sorry pete but how is card skipping stalling lol? i do that every time if im in a situation like yellow and ive never been banned for it. i think you're a little misunderstood on the stalling rules
like he literally has no other option. it wouldnt make any sense at all for someone to get banned for that. what else is he supposed to do just leave the game? sorry pete but thats not how board games work lol
Stalling is when you take up your whole turn timer without taking an action. The skipping is fine. If he doesn't choose to do anything he can pass his turn.
I love you as a steamer, but sometimes you miss such obvious opportunities. When magenta started fortifying to cap towards the end, he motioned to you through multiple turns he wants to suicide into to green and end the game. He likely was trying to negotiate for 2nd. However for multiple turns you failed to realize or chose not to open his cap and give him the line to hit green. I think that was a miss on your part and doing so could have ended the game much sooner. Eventually you did it but it was after you started to hit green and he just decided to wait it out at that point. Also you got lucky he didnt shift gears and hit instead because obviously he got impatient and wanted the game to conclude, giving him no opportunity to hit green could have made hit you instead because it was the only open line. Maybe I’m off here, but that was my read and how i would navigated that body water.
27:58 why lie here? Maybe it’s just me but I feel like I’m more likely to noob slam someone who blatantly lies like that rather than someone who just responds to my yes/no with “no” also he’s across the board getting his bonuses broken and can’t retaliate if you just thumbs down
I have no problem sending a non committal thumbs up to a person asking me to do something actively stupid. If they want to condescend to me I'll reciprocate that. Asking me to hit magenta is insulting because obviously magenta is my best friend this game and enabled my victory. I was never going to hit magenta this game unless they hit me first. So as far as alliance comms go on that if the request is reasonable than it requires a reasonable response. If the request is ridiculous like in this case than I'm happy to give it a ridiculous response.
@@TheKillPeteStrategy to each their own I suppose, if I’m in that spot and someone is smart enough to thumbs up/down me and understand that, I’m guessing they’re smart enough to understand why it’s not a good move for me to hit magenta, and they probably just hope that I’m the stupid one here and will turn on magenta for no reason. I’d much rather tell someone “no I will not work with you on this” or even just not respond at all than fake thumbs up and potentially give the impression that later down the line you can’t work with me because I might thumbs up you, let you piss off the other guy, and then not follow up on it.

Got stuck with 2 passive woossies who wouldn't work on the other guy and just tried to take advantage of the other two's war. Took me 6 hours to get the win.

Wow 6 hours! I don't think I had any of these go more than two
…and by playing decently you mean do nothing and hope someone else tries to advance the game and gets punished for it

Yeah a true stalemate here is rare.
You want green to throw the first punch, but turn order 1:39:06
Great game Pete! Lots of things to learn. I still prefer your Adv Europe Progressive. But, this game was impressive to watch and learn from.
Hahaha same cap as Kylted today XD . 3 caps are the same :D

For sure
Thanks for the true random. I don’t know why true random isn’t the standard if that’s how dice work irl
green and yellow definitely need the report for teaming
Love how Pete ended up bullying the bully. Yellow was a fucking jerk
Gottem
I personally like "broken" capitals over TR caps. I enjoy the unpredictability of cap rolls over the old stale mate style of caps.
Having normal probability in a dice game is essential for competitive settings.
@@TheKillPeteStrategyI don't find True Random to be normal probability with its high variance, and caps aren't suitable for competition before or after the break, but especially before.

And THIS is why I like true random for dice. For the unexpected. :)
Yep. Sometimes you get a curve ball and have to adapt
Lol at that purple 35 owning 53 and 12 owning 7 without losing, then gets smacked by the 1 stack :D
Tr baby

I played a full season of the torture settings. Many bot outs.
At least two people faked inactivity in hopes they could cap run while i was waiting out the 10 minutes.
Its wild that forty to fifty minutes in is when we finally see player killing. Took so long.
I slept between fifty minutes in and about two hours in. I am sick and I come back to find you just own everything etc.
A two in True Random outclasses a five cap of Balanced Blitz easily.
Haha sometimes it does!
1:11:00 why not start breaking green? I mean he is obviosly the biggest adversary
at 1:20:00 the same, why not break green in andorra?

Would slide ring to the minimum number of troops for 99% not be advantageous? If only on very small number of number of occasions?
I think it's a negative since you don't get good odds when you roll the last 2 or 1 die
Yellow and green same person perhaps?
What is difference with random dice? Are the roles true to what they should be?
Yes
Question: What is the purpose of taking a 6 trade instead of just spending the joker for the full 10? Isn't the whole point of holding a joker so you can get a full 10 trade? is this just to prevent a dudes trade in the future?
sometimes you need a set on 3 and the joker insists on that.
Awesome game! Fixed might be slow but it never truly stalemates. With infinite time somebody will outgenerate the others and will win, even with the caps. In a progressive game this doesn't happen and the game can only progress with card blocks, bot with patience.
It is possible to stalemate these settings with three or four good players all generating about the same and skipping cards but it's quite rare.

اسطورة ومحترف للعبة
When playing online I really wonder if random dice is really random.
another good video.
9 lost on 3 is big, but the other day I lost 14 on 2.
With true random fixed, its almost not worth taking a card if you math it out.
At no point during this video did i know who was getting 2nd place
wasn't gonna be me that's for sure
Get you some.
I like this better than prog caps
Good stuff!
Wheres my fog, wheres my blizzards! Rabble rabble!
Can yellow go top 4 by smashing that 18 stack?
Once red goes MIA they lock in lowest available placement so there is no need to defeat an AI player that has gone MIA or surrendered
@@TheKillPeteStrategy thank you!
