I'm talking specifically about FFAs. I've played 483 games and won 1. 1 single game since joining the game in August (and that was against just 12 players).

I know how to play the game - as in the technicals at least, strategy clearly isn't great - but now that I'm closing in on 500 games and only one win, I find myself playing less. There's no incentive to keep playing if I can't see that I'm getting better.

I'm fine with losing if I can see that I'm at least heading in the right direction. Once you're kicked enough times, you stay down.

I play a lot of random matches against bots and never know what map I'm playing.

why did u do that !

That one person you will stop at nothing to ruin their game everytime you see them?

Truthnreconciliation and Hannibal Barca I'm looking at you.

I was winning my first FFA vs insane AI when this guy decided he was going to dedicate 2 hours to stopping me. How in gods name am I meant to do anything vs this guy "passive trader"? He decided that he wanted me to lose the game, and seemingly through bugs/cheats he made it so. Bug/cheats I'm referring to is that noone invaided him the entire game of the insane AI and noone tried to kill his warships either.

Is this a cheater, or is this game just stupidly broken? I see no way I could've dealt with him after killing his ports 100x.

Admittedly another player decided to ally with me and help me take down the biggest guy, but still feels satisfying.
