				The Cheapest Trick in the Book!
	
			 
             
			
		
		
		
		Ok, here is a question for the pros and to the experienced... 
What is the cheapest trick in the book? 
When you want to win and want to win FAST without caring for the "quality" or "fun" of the game, what do you do? 
What do you consider to be the cheapest easiest way to win? 
*without cheating ofcourse* 
Is it massing out one unit? 
Spell Spam? 
Do share! 
(On your average game, small/big/huge what is the cheapest trick regardless of settings?

		Depends on the map size, number of opponents, the nation you're playing, the nation being played by your opponents, game settings, etc.,. 
 
It would be like asking... "What's the fastest way to begin farming on a new planet?"   (What planet, what type of farming, etc., etc.,)

		Build nothing but tanks as fast as you can and then head straight for the enemy base.  Oh... wait, that's a different game.  Sorry.

		A double-9 bless with some nations can supercharge your early game and let you conquer one or two capitals before others can react.

		Gang up on other nations, take the largest share of the spoils, and avoid being ganged up on yourself.

		Well, you've got to spend something, gems or gold, unless you've got the soul stone, and even in that case you're paying up front.  Seems like kind of a weird question to me.  Do you make so many clams that you can't hire enough cheap indy scouts or commanders to hold them all?

		What if I say yes, I don't have any more gold for commander??? 
I was thinking about the mound king for example, 3 death gems. 
Or if I missed any other cheap commander.

		Kappa is 1W in CBM, for Yomi & co.   
 
Scouts are 3 for 2F, or 2E. 
 
Have you been Armageddoned again?
