This is a new dabeta. New players join every day thanks to Ivans and Amoks hard work. Now, if we crush the newbie would he still stay and continue his expirience in AW.

The question is. 1. Do we let them win, busting their morale and possibly getting an AW donor.
2. Just go easy on them.
3. Crush the little guy like a bug.


So, vote. Lets see your oppinion on this topic.

Kill him, but always be supportive. That is lacking and I think is both nice and you don't lose time and ego.

I don't separate newbies from experienced players, so I tend to kill then. That doesn't mean it has to be a bad experience for him at all. If he asks me, or if I see him making basic mistakes then I send some advices via PM.

Everyone needs to learn, and you can only learn from players who are better than you, so i crush them.

Yes, that's possible and will be fixed. Bear in mind that it's punishable by stoning.

As one of the newer players, I would rather my opponent just do what he normally would. That said, it usually means I lose. I'm ok with it, although I would prefer if newbies played together more. I would like to see more advice given though.

Edit: There is a time when doing it is douchebaggery. I gathered some noobs together and started a game in the beginner's room. Trolling decided to latejoin and send 80 units at my capital. We both lost as a result. My own fault for not grabbing that country, but I did not expect anyone else to join that game. Regardless of it being my own fault or not, he only did it to be a prick.

That's the only thing I dislike about this game (and all online games, truth be told). There's always a high ratio of idiot assholes to ruin the fun. Anyway, that's the last time I advertise for a noob game in the main room.

Don't worry man, it's in his nature, after all he is a troll. But if you want to play with some inexpierienced players, try advertising it in the main or global, then setting it up so that only zero to a certain rank can join, i'd suggest 0-4. Happy huntin man.

Verry True, As of now though your lerned to:
A) watch for late game joins
B) Better protect your capital
C) use the options more
D) a new stratagy.

Though most people look at trolling as a detriment to the game i always alow Max turns in my games and have been trolled by up to 6 diferent players over and over in the same game. Did i loose, Yes eventualy but the SP i gained from them was way more then i would have gained in a non trolled game.
Remember there are weeknesses to trolling and here are a few.
after you blitz if you loose all your troops you will loose
if they build max troops and dont conqure any land they will generaly run out of mony fast(Not in 25-50k game)
Bombers,airdefence and High mobility works well against trollers.
Your general lowers your unit stacks cost so keep him neer your capital with a ton of troops to stop a troll or slow them down.

I don't think it's a problem killing new players. They will learn the various tactics used and we will feel like a pro.

Eventually they will turn into an old player themselves. Killing them probably makes them better faster than playing easy on them.

I think i take a simalar approach to Marc some times i ally them and use them as a barrier so that they arnt over run instanly and i dont have to do all the work for a good amount of game assuming my eney is good enough to take care of my ally for me.

The enemy of my enemy isnt my ally just someone i don't want pissed at me.

You got to learn sometime. It can be annoying when you are playing in Europe and two more experienced players ally against you. Then the small player who is clearly new asks for an alliance and you are stuck in a situation where you have to accept or end up in an even bigger gangbang.

They must be crushed but don't be mean. I like to help people, especially newer players but I'm not going to give up a game just to go easy on someone.

I tend to kill them but teach them at the same time. give them tips on what strats are the best and whatever else they want to know. i dont actually let them win just make sure i dont smash them as hard as i could be doing.

i know there's an answer i just don't know what it is yet
