Glad to see you cast some FFA, Shadowfury333 !!! You did a great job!

This one I found to be a particular good game: B716067 6 on FataMorganaV2 (but then again, I might be biased because I won :p)
Nevertheless, there was plenty of people turning on the strongest player without overcomitting, so it was very well balanced for a long time. Most mayor players went through a near death :)
The drawback off course is that it was a 2h game as a result :p


There can be many things going on at the same time in FFA, making it hard to cast. But there are a few main things to focus on:
- Diplomacy: Who is fighting/helping who, who looks like the strongest player/most urgent threat to different players). Sometimes players have a reputation that works against them.
- Eco: Who is growing while keeping a low profile (making eco, building up army but not using it yet).
- Army/fights: Balance aggression with defense and with attrition, when do players decide to use their army. (note that even when you lose less army than one opponent in a fight, the real winners are the players that were not involved).
- Flexibility/comeback potential: imo, this separates good FFA players from normal players. First in terms of army/tactis, being able to adapt to their opponents, but even more so in terms of eco/strategy: being able to rebound after losing ground, by spreading eco, build power etc.

I'm sure many other good FFA players can add to that. ( Jasper, Kingstad, DeinFreund, taftaflexenope, EtSuRii, izirayd, UltraGodzilla, Yogzototh etc.)

I sometimes offer peace to a player I have the probable upperhand against in favor of attacking a new target I think I can wipe out quicker, or more likely if there is another player that needs to be fought before he gets too big. its not uncommon with loose alliances but I would say most ffa communication comes down to saying "X IS ATTACKING ME/HAS SOMETHING SCARY" and hope that others respond to it.

There is whispering but it would be faster if there was a button next to every player when pressing TAB that would autowrite the whisper command. You REALLY dont want to make a typo when writing the command because then the secret message will be read by all, embarrassing.
