Suppose there are only three players on the table and each has 10 territories (one of them is you). What is your strategy in this scenario?
I do not really know what to do in this situation. 1) If you start fighting one of them, you will end up either 2nd or 3rd (The one who does not fight will end up 1) 2) If you try to truce one of them, the one who you are trying to truce will end up 1st again cause the other guy will say that he is looking for 2nd and start fighting with you. 3) If you wait and hope that the other two guys will start to fight you can get anything from 3rd to 1st. It seems that the third strategy dominates first two. Is anyone aware of strategy that dominates the third one? |

If I'm first, I offer the second place to the one who is third. If I'm second, I'm either flagging or trying to truce with third, depends on who is more likely to agree to it (or to read the chatbox). If I'm third I'm trying to truce with the one who's second. If I think he won't truce I'm going for the one who's first, but if I'm trucing with second, I've got the chance to make first. Of course it depends on who is where as well. If you're middle, you die, for example xD |
