In the Attacking Enemies section it states, 'In this situation, Light Blue has a strong advantage over Green, because he has much more safe income.' But actually, this is not obvious from that screen shot because of the fog.Using delays against the AI is particularly useful if you know where the AI is going to attack, and the AI has several expansion moves it can make.

The Defensive Delay section could use an example scenario.

Therefore, it's not so much a 'lesson' as you'd expect from a 'guide', and seems more just like a random challenge scenario. It's not clear what strategy/tactic is expected of the player.

I agree with Jaymer's point about the 'Defense with Disadvantages' scenario.

Also, you can guarantee a win simply by deploying everything to Ufa and making sure you never lose West Russia.

In the defensive double-border scenario, the AI (as far as I know) will randomly pick where to attack with the big stack, so there's not really any point in trying to 'predict' its psychology like you might a human.

Alternatively, if you wanna go really pro, you could use some of the Unicode math symbols ( ) such as the Multiplication Sign ( ) which is Unicode U+00D7 or HTML × which renders as: ×

This is just a minor aesthetic nit-picky kind of thing, but when writing the math stuff, you might want to use the letter 'x' for multiply instead of the more computer-sciency '*' symbol.

Nice usage of the Pangea Ultima map, BTW.

So you can pick from any of the four to win the game.

Also, it says 'There are two bonuses you can pick to win', but actually you have access to four different bonuses (and indeed they lead to almost the entire rest of the map), and you are in no particular rush to finish any of them, because of the previous issue about the AI never attacking.

Therefore, it would be more challenging if the player starts with *less than half* of the AI's income, so that they *must* expand to avoid being over-run. Therefore, the player is not in very much danger at all, and can effectively out-wait the AI forever, even if he gains no income.

In the bottleneck scenario, the AI will never attack until it gets twice as many armies in its stack as the player has.

I would suggest an early tutorial on using the 'Attack or Transfer' dialog, with the (kills X) note and the Analyze button, so that you can have the player use these kinds of calculations in later tutorials.

Again, a lesson on building stacks prior to this would be beneficial here. And Australia is +5 vs Antarctica at +3, but if you build a stack on Scott and time your attacks right, you can break Australia from Antarctica. a very typical example of this issue is when you have Antarctica and your opponent has Australia.

Also, perhaps using a different double-border would be good.

So, maybe you could include sections about these skills earlier than this scenario.

The double-border scenario ( ) is perhaps a bit hard for a beginner player to win (at least, to win it quickly), if they don't know how to use stacks, or how to beat the AI on equal income.

I would suggest making this statement true, start the player with lower income, so that they psychologically overcome the bias that 'higher income always wins'.

On level 3,, when I started we both had the same income (14), though the challenge reads, 'At first, the enemy will have more income than you'.

I'm not sure how such a scenario could be made, though.

Is it possible to make a scenario for Level 2? Without one, it kinda ruins the idea of 'levels' that you complete.I don't know if slots work like that, though. Perhaps use a custom scenario with 'slots', and allow the player to pick within his particular slotted area? Like give player picks within Europe, Scand, Caucasus, West Russia, Central Russia, and give AI slot with everything else. I made my pick but the AI got it (still beat the AI, of course :-) ). On the second scenario about picking ( ), if there is a way to do it, I would recommend changing the scenario so that the player *always* has the ability to get his first pick.
