Mechanics

• Deployment: players can deploy troops on their teammates' regions

• Assault: players can assault the regions of their teammates. This is treated like a normal attack, so make sure you plan ahead!

• Reinforcement: players can reinforce troops to their teammate's regions. For Path reinforcement, troops can only be reinforced through the reinforcing player's regions.

• Commands: Commands cannot be jointly held by teammates and still receive a bonus

Basic Strategy

A winning strategy for team games is different enough from that for singles games that it's worth talking about some of the basics. The essential strategies (attack your opponent in head-to-head, try and maintain a balance in multiplayer) still hold, but you're going to want to go about them a slightly different way.

• Communicate: the #1 thing you can do to improve your chances of winning a team game is communicate early and often with your teammate(s).

• Plan Ahead: you and your teammate(s) should have short-term and long-term goals, so that every move gets you closer to said goals.

• Consider Turn Order: all other things being equal, in larger teams, it's better to deploy or reinforce to the teammate playing right after you, so those troops don't just sit there vulnerable to counterattack. Similarly, it's usually a good idea to concentrate on the opponent playing right after you.

• Target Weak Players: The more players on a team, the smaller each player's starting deployment will be. In quads and above, it can behoove you to target an enemy player from the beginning of the game and concentrate on killing them.

• Weigh the Costs: It can be a good move to take your teammate(s)' regions in order to secure a command. Just make sure that the bonus is worth the cost, and that it's secure enough to prevent an opponent from breaking it.
