Played a 2-player game of Imperial 2030 today. It was a lot of fun xD For those who don't know, Imperial 2030 is about investing in countries and TAKING OVER THE WORLD.... xD; So... invest cleverly and dump countries who're doing badly
Here's the end board
We completely bankrupted India, Europe went on struggling through most of the game with 1million to spare (meaning that it was worthless to go to Taxation, which is the only feature in the game that scores you points), USA did marginally better with 2million, China started out strong, but got invaded by Russia and completely disintegrated, Russia just... did their thing and did it very well (Russia was the country that ended the game), and Brazil partied on, taking over all of South America and even Alaska!
Unfortunately I am a bit cursed when it comes to strategic games like this, I'm always able to think of clever plans for the other players, but never able to see what I should do to improve my own situation... and of course when I play 2-player games, I'm not able to contain myself, so I blurt out things like "Oh, I would have BLABLABLABLA" and so my opponent goes and does just that T___T; lol I was the one who built up the beautiful foundation of Brazil's empire, but then my opponent went and invested more money in Brazil and took it over. It turned into a crazy fight over who got to control Brazil xD;;; While at the same time trying to make sure that Brazil didn't lose too much of its territory. Aaaaugh
I also controlled Europe and China .... those were the countries I was left with at the end, and they both did horribly bad
so... yeah. I lost Brazil, and didn't want to try and invest too much in other countries so aaugh. I got stuck xD;
Still, it was a lot of fun. My Europe plan made me laugh so much, I didn't have money to be able to do anything, and Taxation was impossible through most of the game (without having me as the investor lose money), so I just kept on building up my armies until I couldn't build anymore xD; But I'd also made a pact with Russia, so I couldn't go invade them.... 8D lol I started moving in on Africa just as the game ended. Oh well. I'm sure Europe would have done better if the game had continued on for a couple of rounds. Maybe
