How do you play 1k duels?

I need to know what are the best countries to play as, and their best expansions and strategies. It would also help if you could come up with a way for me to fight against players with premium.

Avoid 1k games cause they are based on luck. YOu will thank me later.

But some guy said that they were able to get their elo so high because they challenged people to 1k duels.

My skill in 10k EU+ duels are always so close, but not enough to actually beat the person.

Although there is some truth to getting "free elo" from this. You will still peak after a certain point. Yea 1200 elo may look nice but it's still meaningless. Check out my elo I lost 100 just from these elo gambles

So yea it's entirely possible to farm high ranked players with this strategy.

It's possible to farm anyone with strategies, 1k duels are just faster

You're confusing blind luck with skill. 1k duels are no different than gambling.

Roulette is 50/50, but this even if it includes a bit of luck, it isn't 100% luck.
Also why tf did you continue playing after losing 8 in a row

Roulette is not 50/50
And because I am an addict

Chill down Palm, what's the matter with that toxic ego? Winning the WC doesn't make your maths any better than usual as far as I see... where's the problem in admiting a bigger impact of luck on 1k games anyway? What bothers you so much?

It bothers me because 1k duels already have a bad reputation, I won't lie, there is luck involved, and if people don't want to play it, i couldn't care less. But I won't accept people trying to make it seem as if it is 100% luck when it clearly isn't

In all settings there is a component dictated by luck, and this can be greater or lesser based on the way you decide to play. I give an example: in Europe 10k duels if you decide for expample to rush ned or paris (as germany), thats gamble, or in Europe 10k + duels if you rush greece as ukraine its gamble, and so on. Otherwise you can decide to play slowroll and expand without rushing or sort of, in this case the game is decided less by luck as regards rolls, or gambling about what the opponent will do; but still during the game there will be again the possibility of events dictated by fate, such as turnblocks or rolls or wall bugs or anything. In 1k duels is very similar : for instance lux vs albania, you can decide to go logistic wizard albania and rush ned and that would be gamble, or you can decide to play gw or co and lategame. It depends on player decision. Of course 1k duels may be more luck based about rolls, there are very few units in the start and if you fail some battle you may lose the game (even though lately some polite players have learned to come to the agreement to tie, if some weird fail happens in the starting turns), but for example is less luck based for what involes turnblocks, because there are very few troops, and often its not even worth to waste a couple of troops to turnblock, it may work sometimes, but in the long run you will lose way more games than what you win if you do that. In 10k eu games instead, turnblocks play a more important role, since there are bigger stacks involved and spamming tbs is a way more reliable playstyle in 10k rather then in 1k.

100 % agree

To answer the original question, the best strategy depends in what map you are playing and what pick you are playing. I assume you want to play the most common one, wich is europe, this are the best picks in order (in my opinion ofc) : luxemburg, albania, latvia, montenegro, moldova, estonia, mace. In lux you should usually pick a goddamn strong and expensive strategy like lb or if or hw since money won't be your problem cause you get ned and belgium fast. other picks can have different ideas, latvia and estonia are nice with nc and take scandinavia money, albania is very good with gw, or other cheap strategies, cause you have many close balkans cities, or it can also be used to rush and being unpredictable with lw, moldova is very flexible, in can work with rushing strategies, like blitz (hungary) or lw (czeck) or it can be good with cheap strategies aswell or even with lb or if (only if your opponents is in balkans though, not lux), montenegro is op because its supercheap and you can do anything (mace similar but worse).

The main thing to know about 1k duels though is that, espetially in europe, they are usually "counter games" wich means that you cant apply the same strategy in the same picks, it always depends on what your opponent choose : if you play vs lux you can counter with lw latvia or lb montenegro or blitz/lw moldova or gw albania. If you dont play vs lux you can use it to counter anything, but its not always the best. If you play vs albania you can counter with if or lb moldova (since you can take romania the first turn with those), or with if or lb montenegro. If you play vs latvia or estonia you can counter with blitz moldova or gw albania or montenegro. If you play vs montenegro you can counter with lb or if albania or with blitz moldova. And so on.

Second most important thing about 1k duels is that they are mostly mind games. If a skilled player lose many times vs some other he may think, like many do as you can see, that its because its luck based and will cry, but it may not be the case. In 1k if you get in your opponent mind you win the game, maybe luck will save him 1 out of 10 times but if you read him you win, regardless of luck, or even skills. In 1k mind >> skill >> luck.
