\n Hey guys, as Tinyvilization <\/a>is a little tricky to get in, here is a short guide to learn how to build strategies by exemple. I don’t say things explicitely, but I give you exemples that you can compare to each other to understand how it works. Try to beat those exemple to begin, they are much easier than the built in levels.<\/p>\n

Tips to learn how to build you strategy.
\n <\/span><\/span>1. Expand properly<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Try to use and fight against the following strategies. They can’t beat levels stategies but they still spread on the whole grid.
\n Compare each strategy with the next\/previous one in the list to understand what each action is for.
\n To compare strategies, copy\/paste the code in the import\/export text box then click “use Strategy” to see it or use it, and click”Fight strategy” to have it against you.<\/p>\n

— basic expand
\n TML-UMRT<\/strong>\u00a0(easy but usefull)
\n — better basic expand
\n LTM-UMRT<\/strong>\u00a0(beat previous, see the difference and guess why)
\n LTMM-UMRT<\/strong>\u00a0(sligthely beat previous, see the difference and guess why)
\n LTMMM-UMRT<\/strong>\u00a0(sligthely beat previous, now you should know why)<\/p>\n

2. fight<\/strong><\/span>
\n — fight only
\n LTMMM-TMRCRCRC<\/strong>\u00a0(beat previous, see the difference and guess why)
\n — defend and fight
\n LTMMMU-TMRCRCRC<\/strong>\u00a0(beat previous, not obvious ! only cities at level 1 or more give points)<\/p>\n

— to practise
\n MMMMMLMMMMM-TMRUC\u00a0<\/strong>(work up to level 4)<\/p>\n

3. explicit tips<\/strong><\/span>
\n !!! If you like the game and start to understand it mecanisms, please go deeper and read the following tips ONLY if you think you understood deeply points 1. and 2. Else, keep analizing and thinking to find out how a strategy works.<\/p>\n

– Your “setup” strategy should focus on “expanding fast”
\n – Your “development” strategy should focus on “fighting”<\/p>\n

Others way might work, so far, this way is the most efficient one I found. Any other thought appreciated !<\/p>\n

4. Final boss<\/strong><\/span>
\n This is my best one. Didn’t spend a lot of time building this one so I believe a lot of better strategies exists. Still, good luck to beat me =)<\/p>\n

— fast expand then aggressive
\n MMMMMMLMMMMMTLMTLMTLM-UCMCRC<\/strong>
\n — even better – made by a colleague of mine
\n MTMMMMTLMMTMMMM-MCRMMCURMCMCRMMCRMC<\/strong><\/p>\n

5. Balancing<\/strong><\/span>
\n By now strategies are pretty unbalanced and some actions are too strong, preventing some “alternative strategies” from being efficient.
\n I plan to balance the game\/add new actions\/include this guide levels in a future version. If you want to be updated, I’ll be twitting about it @Lythom<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Have Fun !<\/p>\n

<\/strong>Salutations =) Comprendre les m\u00e9caniques et les subtilit\u00e9s de\u00a0Tinyvilization\u00a0\u00a0<\/a>n’est pas \u00e9vident, voici donc un petit guide strat\u00e9gique pour vous aider \u00e0 construire une strat\u00e9gie efficace. Je ne donnerai (presque) pas d’indication explicites mais des exemples \u00e0 comparer entre eux pour comprendre leur fonctionnement. Pour commencer, affrontez les plut\u00f4t que les niveaux inclus qui sont bien plus difficiles.<\/p>\n

Astuces pour construire votre strat\u00e9gie<\/span>
\n 1. S’\u00e9tendre proprement<\/strong><\/span>
\n Essayez d’utiliser et d’affronter les strat\u00e9gies qui suivent. Elles ne battent pas les niveau inclus mais s’\u00e9tendent sur toute la surface, ce qui est un d\u00e9but suffisant.
\n Comparez chaque strat\u00e9gie avec la suivant\/pr\u00e9c\u00e9dente et analysez les diff\u00e9rences pour comprendre le role de chaque action.
\n Pour comparer, copier\/coller le code en gras dans la text box. “use strategy” permet de voir ou utiliser la strat\u00e9gie, “fight strategy” permet de l’affronter.<\/p>\n

— d\u00e9ploiement de base
\n TML-UMRT<\/strong>\u00a0(facile a battre mais montre la base)
\n — meilleur d\u00e9ploiement de base
\n LTM-UMRT<\/strong>\u00a0(bat le pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent, regarder la diff\u00e9rence pour comprendre)
\n LTMM-UMRT<\/strong>\u00a0(bat de peu le p\u00e9c\u00e9dent, regarder la diff\u00e9rence pour comprendre)
\n LTMMM-UMRT<\/strong>\u00a0(bat de peu le p\u00e9c\u00e9dent, maintenant vous devriez avoir compris les bases du d\u00e9ploiement)<\/p>\n

2. Combattre<\/strong><\/span>
\n — conversion uniquement
\n LTMMM-TMRCRCRC<\/strong>\u00a0(bat le pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent, regardez la diff\u00e9rence pour comprendre)
\n — d\u00e9fense et conversion
\n LTMMMU-TMRCRCRC<\/strong>\u00a0(bat le pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent, la victoire n’est pas \u00e9vidente : regarder jusqu’au bout pour voir que le bleu gagne. Seules les villes rapportent des points!)<\/p>\n

3. Conseils explicites<\/strong><\/span>
\n !!! Si vous aimez le jeu et commencez \u00e0 appr\u00e9hender ces m\u00e9canismes, ne lisez ce point que pour confirmer ce que vous avez compris pr\u00e9c\u00e9demment. Sinon continuez d’analyser et de r\u00e9fl\u00e9chir, ce sera bien plus valorisant au final!<\/p>\n

– La phase”setup” de la strat\u00e9gie doit \u00eatre d\u00e9di\u00e9e au d\u00e9ploiement et \u00e0 la domination de la carte
\n – La phase “development” de la strat\u00e9gie doit \u00eatre d\u00e9di\u00e9e au combat et \u00e0 la domination de la zone alentour.<\/p>\n

D’autres fa\u00e7on de faire sont peut \u00eatre viable. Jusqu’\u00e0 maintenant, c’est la strat\u00e9gie expliqu\u00e9e jusque ici que je trouve le plus efficace. N’h\u00e9sitez pas \u00e0 me proposer des alternatives si vous en avez !<\/p>\n

4. Final boss<\/strong><\/span>
\n Ma meilleur strat\u00e9gie. Je l’ai construite assez rapidement et je l’ai peu tritur\u00e9e, il en existe probablement des meilleurs. Il vous faudra tout de m\u00eame bien comprendre les m\u00e9caniques pour esp\u00e9rer ne serai-ce qu’y survivre, bon courage !<\/p>\n

— extension rapide puis d\u00e9fense agressive
\n MMMMMMLMMMMMTLMTLMTLM-UCMCRC<\/strong>
\n — Encore mieux ! Strat d’un coll\u00e8gue
\n MTMMMMTLMMTMMMM-MCRMMCURMCMCRMMCRMC<\/strong><\/p>\n

5. Equilibrage<\/strong><\/span>
\n A l’heure actuelle, il me semble que certaines actions (et donc strat\u00e9gies) sont trop avantag\u00e9es ce qui le laisse pas assez de place \u00e0 la diversit\u00e9. Je pense continuer le d\u00e9veloppement pour \u00e9quilibrer le jeu, inclure les strat\u00e9gies de ce guide, et \u00e9ventuellement impl\u00e9menter des nouvelles actions pour varier les strat\u00e9gies. Je gazouillerai sur le sujet donc si \u00e7a vous int\u00e9resse :\u00a0 @Lythom<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Have Fun !<\/p>","time":"April 23rd, 2012 11:35 am","title":"Tinyvilization strategy guide"}
