Notice: During game I forgot to mention, that kram should have considered using blockade card. He was splitting his defensive efforts through multiple fronts with minimal possibilities to accomplish much, therefore his opponent could have easily hunt down kram’s stacks and eliminated them. If kram would use blockade card, he could relieve pressure from one of his fronts and be much more able to make concentrated defense efforts)
In this video I review 3rd game of kram's 10 game run. In this game he faces Jo Jo, top 10 1v1 ladder player. kram's goal is to win 40% of his games in 2nd phase, which is required for him in order to move to 3rd phase.
Template name: Archipelago Brawl
Notable settings:
1. Modified bonus values
2. Map with a lot of bottleneck connections
Main criticism:
1. Income momentum is very important. If on turn X player A has 12 income and player B has 7 income and on next turn player A is still at 12 and player B is at 13 income, it will take 5 turns for player B to negate army net difference (initial -5 difference followed by +1 difference). Initial 5 army difference can be used to take a bonus faster, which can snowball into even bigger income advantage.
2. Consider all possible opponent’s starts and how much income he can deploy. If you’re planning to break a bottleneck, take into consideration defensive and offensive kill rates and how likely a risk is of your attack back firing.
3. Check history to see how much delay orders you need to out delay your opponent, do not use out delaying tactics if you do not have enough moves to outdelay your opponent.
4. Avoid splitting defensive defensive efforts and generating many split stacks. Your opponent could make a concentrated attack and pick your stacks one by one. If your stack is killed, it’s -100% armies for you and only -70% armies for opponent.
5. Avoid bonuses with wastelands. Do not start in them and do not expand to them, unless there’s a really good reason and you have already calculated that there’s no better options.
6. Your initial picked bonuses, become most efficient bonuses, don’t allow your opponent to easily take your starts away from you.

About Warzone Ultimate Series:
These series are mostly centered on playing 20 player 1v1 round robins tournaments. Players, who do very well in these tournaments, get invited to extra challenge games and if they do well, they get promoted to higher tier. There are 7 different tiers planned, but all of them would function similarly to other tiers, main difference being different tournament settings and different strengths of players.
