To win World 2.0 which mega-continent first?

[RobinJ]

I voted S Amer because it is the easiest to take. However, the last time I tried that, I got attacked from N. Amer, Mahgreb and S. Africa. Probably my own fault - I made myself too powerful too early. A few turns later I was eliminated. The closest I came to winning was when I had N. Amer - just the 3 fronts (or so I thought). Unfortunately, I missed Hawaii and got invaded, just as S. Amer was nearly under my control.

it doesn't really matter - dice, positioning and skill tend to decide who wins.

asia would be to hard to hold though

trevor define what you mean by "positioning and skill" - how exactly does that differ from choice of territory to attack?

I agree there is more to winning than first choice of continents though!

i mean, at the start of the game the positioning of your armies tends to decide what continent you try to take, some people will get a better position than others and will find it easier to hold and expand from their continent.

but obviously the better you are the easier it is to win from whatever position you're given.

I just started here but in one of my first 4 games which is right below, I started with SA and proceeded to defeat my foe over in Oceania:

Got lucky with a third party intervening though, but it still seems like SA is pretty effective.

looking at the game u better out up some defences down south. both your SA bonus and your oceania bonus can be broken by blue if he really wants to.

Yea blue is def the main threat, he gets something like 12 armies or so i think this turn, but im guessing he deploys them in africa to secure his territory...lol

he is your immediate threat, but red has secured all of europe and its 11 bonus.

in almost all the games i have played. the person getting all of south america wins or comes very close. this is because it is easy to take and defend (well not easy, but easier) and from there you can quickly take NA and expand from there

But on the flip side it's hard to expand into Africa from South America because there are so many territories in Maghreb.

Eh, I usually expand into South Africa from South America, not through the Maghreb (which I use as a buffer).
