r/Openfront

Ads everywhere and so much stuff on the screen, give me a break.

Can a risk averse player win in Openfront IO, or does winning this game require taking risks?

I had one game where I had like 30 SAMs all stacked together somehow they got blown up by one hydro.

I had another game where I had like 20 hydros all spread around and again got blown up.

What am I missing?

Is it correctly understood that if someone 20-30% stronger than you attacks, that you should just let him to some extent and hope he doesn't take too much or someone sees and counterattacks him? It seems attacking back to reduce his front to 0 often makes it worse, if they put the same amount back, and you keep doing the same, until you both get you reduce to 0% and him to 20-30% where he just steamrolls your entire country.

Hi, all! In a game, and ended up being someones mitochondria (shout out to 76er). However, i'm not spawning any trains after several minutes. I've stopped trading with all, and started trading with all... and nothing has happened?

Does the game have a max limit of trains perhaps? As I write this, a few MIRVs just dropped, and I'm spawning trains again?

This has happened to me several times, but I just got a game where I had 10M early in the game from 5M starting mode and I annexed a nation seconds into the game. I was jumped and reduced to two small islands, but still had most of my funds. The only "player" pressuring me was a nation so I figured I could just place some warships, cites, and comeback by capturing tribes, but no. The nation took one of my islands and I lost all my gold. Why not just boot me from the entire game at that point? There's no point in trying to play from that point. It feels unfair and it's completely unpredictable when the game will do this aside from just knowing it vaguely happens when most of the territory is lost.

Was playing a game happily allied to everyone just trading and an ally randomly attacked me and then when he got attacked by someone else sent a message saying "you're ruining the game for both of us!"

What did I do bro???? 😭

I know you can annex tribes if you completely surround them. I don’t think you can annex a player. However, can you annex a nation? I’ve only been close but never had one completely surrounded. Anyone know?

Ok yeah it can be interesting to have a map with only land, but it comes often and almost always as 125 players. Not a lot of people like this map, so it always take almost the full 2 minutes to wait for players to come. Why god does it have to always be that big ?? Can't you set it to a smaller player pool like 50 or even less ? At least half of time.

Every time I join one of those "20 teams of 4" games, I can't find my team. I end up getting destroyed early on because I'm off by myself. I need a hotkey that pans the camera to the nearest teammate, or something similar.
