I keep losing games because "you went AFK" even though I've been moving units. What is considered "AFK"? Pretty frustrating tbh

Deciphered if you don't feel like doing it and want to read it here: There are 3 basic strategies in the early game: 1. Rapid assault. Wait for a decent-sized army on your capital, then start charging around the map and hope that you are able to capture another player's capital while it's poorly defended. 2. Rapid growth. Focus on capturing territory and neutral cities. Vulnerable to rapid assault, since capturing ci…
If the GP wanted to hide it, it’s a pretty strange thing to explicitly unhide it.

in FFA, you need to take at least 10 tiles by turn 60. That means 11 tiles including your general. But if you encounter another player before turn 60 it won't make you afk no matter what.

There are many problems here. Taking a neutral city costs 40 troops, taking a long time to recuperate. You're better off looking for the enemy and attacking immediately, only taking neutral cities in the late game when it takes 20+ moves to deploy men against the enemy.
Attacking the enemy is better than taking neutral territory, n.b. you want to do this towards the end of the turn so your conquered territory will respawn.

I appreciate it too.
The deciphered version is clearly noted as such, which even respects the OP intent in giving readers the choice to skip reading it.

#17It appears as though, for the keyboard shortcuts, they are matching on the "key", as in the actual letter, instead of the "code", which is more accurate regarding the actual position of the key.
Just a minor annoyance for alternative keyboard layout users. Cool game, though!

To be honest it's a strange thing to rot13. I get why OP did it, but I'm really not sure the benefit outweighs the negatives or that it accomplished what it was supposed to. Those aren't exactly spoilers in the same way as visual media, where a fraction of a second can reveal the whole story.
Brb painting a shed.
