I think the most important three factors of playing four countries are layout, moves skills, and the psychological quality of players.
Layout can determine your position on this chess game, is to attack the main, active attack, or to the main defensive, Shen.
I got a little layout experience in the next four countries, record here.
1: About the position of the banner
After my indomitable observation and research found that, in addition to a very small number of players in the game with the opponent to continue playing chess, will change the layout of the banner changed position, 98% people like to put the banner on their left. Such 2 of the flag is staggered, and everyone is accustomed to the big chess on the side of the defense, in the opposite side of the banner is no attack on the boy, so in the home by the enemy's fierce attack, to help the family is not very convenient, the boy rushed to block is generally also eaten life ~ So in order to better cooperate with the home, it is best to put their own banner on the right, so that 2 of the odds on one side of the banner is very large, conducive to mutual cooperation. But also can better attack your home, because his banner is on your strong side.
2: About 40 placing position
40 not only is the whole chess commander, to the player is also a spiritual pillar, I believe that every time after 40 sacrifices, will be a little heart gray and timid.
Some people like to put the banner in the top corner of the layout, and resist and attack. But at the same time this layout will make 40 very early exposure, become the target of true and false bombs chasing.
Others like to put 40 in the middle of the first row, so that 40 of the threat of a bomb may be a lot smaller, but 40 placed in this position offensive and defensive than the 40 placed in the layout of 2 side high.
It is also common for 40 to be on the side of the 2nd row of the bottom. This arrangement also has its disadvantage, is 40 bad to play a role, usually in front of the chess Walk, the 40 appearance, the front of the chess has been attacked the force of no resistance, 40 did not play his king's role, but also very regrettable, not to mention at the end, moves are very cautious, 40 very easy to be blown up.
Some people like to put the 40 is very hidden, we should combine their own characteristics to play chess to display 40, if the offensive strong, put 40 as far as possible in the hidden place. Don't let 40 expose the target early, become the target of the bomb pursuit.
3: About the placement of the engineers.
I have always believed that the engineer's role was only 38, because the engineers had the flexibility not to have any other pieces, but also the only bane of the mines. Sometimes an engineer can save a team that is obviously weaker.
People generally like to put the engineers in the first row of the 2 next to the 2 positions, or 2 base camp, because these 2 locations are clearly good protection of the engineers, but also allows engineers to seize the opportunity to fly out. In fact, the more conservative chess players can also try to put the engineers on the side of the 2 row of the 3.4 line of the layout, the above placed 37.38 against the enemy's sudden attack, protect the engineers, can also attack at any time. Put the engineer in this position can also be in the determination of the opponent's flag position, posing as a piece of non-engineers to test the enemy's flag on the side of the thunder, very confusing.
4: About the platoon leader's placement.
Many people think that the platoon leader is a dispensable role, because he can only subdue the engineers, and the flexible engineer is not so easy to let the platoon commander caught. In fact, the platoon leader also has a very important role is to be able to go to the bomb, I often put the platoon sergeant on the side of line 2.3, if found that the other side out of the larger similar 37 38 of the son, the following is likely to ambush the bomb, this time can let the platoon commander, even if not hit the bombing, is not very deficient.
5: Placement of mines.
The classic conservative layout is the Triangle Thunder, 3 mines surround the banner, seemingly to protect the banner is very good, but this kind of layout is very easy to be enemy home "double Fly" destroy, no matter you four weeks still have how strong strength, as long as you accidentally gave the enemy home double fly opportunity, will be immediately destroyed, so this layout is generally used by beginners more, Play more points can be very clear to see the drawbacks of the Triangle Thunder.
Fort-type mines are also a form that many conservatives like to use, namely, to protect the 2-side position of the bottom 2nd row with landmines. In fact, such a "fortress" is easy to be breached, so also use caution.
I personally like to put 2 mines in the top and side of the banner, the other side of the larger son, so as to avoid the death of the enemy home double fly, but also to preserve the strength, but there are defects. Because each formation is not perfect, has its own unique advantages and inevitable flaws.
6: About the placement of the bomb.
How the bomb should be placed has always been my biggest headache, because I used to put the bomb on the side of the 2nd row, and then put the third row of the bomb into the camp, so that the enemy's family thought my bomb in the barracks to relax vigilance, easily exposed 40, and then look at the bombing. I think this is a good tactic, and often in the beginning of a long time to blow up the enemy home one or even 2 40, but also many many times, my 2 bombs are quickly the enemy's son easily cost. Because many people under the banner will not be to study each other's layout and moves, and will habitually put this position as a bomb to the son, so many times the start of my bombs are not, and the other side of the 40 began to attack recklessly, people powerless to resist.
Write so much first, about the four countries, there are a lot of skills to study, you can try a variety of layouts, find the most suitable for their formation.
