We've implemented a way for express players to post status reports to this forum using ingame links. All threads will be automatically posted by a bot account. The title of each thread will include the round and the player's forum name, if applicable. The bot will also post limited status reports with rounded values. Some information is omitted and rounded to protect the identity of the country. If the identity of the country was discovered, other players could use this forum as a source of free spy ops.

The goal of this forum is to provide expert help to new players or anyone else seeking it. Thus, this forum has a few special rules.

-Do not post a country number or attempt to deduce one. This is a bannable offense.
-Please be respectful and helpful at all times.
-Remember that the goal is to help the player. If you wish to have a more in-depth strategy discussion about a minor point, the Strategy Room might be a better place for that.
-Do not attempt to recruit players to your alliance in the country threads. Mentioning an alliance in a signature is allowed. Players may only talk about their alliances if the thread owner asks about them.
-If you don't actually play express, please only give general advice relating to gameplay concepts like specialization. Don't make assumptions about the market or about how much military is needed.
-Threads will be automatically closed as each round ends. In addition, threads that serve as good teaching examples may be sticked.

We hope that veteran players will extend the ladder for a new generation of gamers.

May i point out a flaw?


I generally run all explore countries. But say if i spy op someone. Then check this forum for something matching. Then i can now watch their country to get a free spy op for the rest of the set.

first, i hope this takes off
it may be a place for the types of in depth strategy and rules debates that have not been sustainable on the regular forum

second, drinks is right of course

the threat that the info could lead to negative consequences will likely deter people from posting their countries

so... for some amount of time after posting on this thread you are immune from attack or harmful spy op
will some people abuse this rule? sure
is it worth the abuse to grow this idea so that it actually flourishes? i think so

I'm not sure how much of a problem it will be. If necessary, we will further limit the information displayed in each thread.

No need to make it so they cant hit. Just letting people know they run a risk of people being pricks to them.

How does this thing work? and can i get a link to a status tidy?

Everything is done through the game. Click the "get help!" link on /main. Instructions are near the top.

mm cool thanx

we cant post new ops when our thread is closed. Its either that of Get Help has disapeared cause i cant see it.

swweet

woohoo

?

!

?

sweet

this is helpful. thank you!

:)

hardly anyone uses these help forums.

That's because new players (which include me), have no idea what a status uploader is...

Its broken, thats why no one uses it.

Hello, i'm from Brazil, so sorry for the bad english! I just want to know if someone could give me a "guide" ou a "tutorial" for the game ? I just don't get how to play. Thanks!

Go to on of the more active boards and ask for help. Usually one ofbthe best ways
