As an island start enjoyer myself, I AM IN LOVE WITH THESE CHALLENGE VIDEOS! Though, Iceland may be a little too ambitious for now. There are so many factors against it that make the last challenge video look trivial in comparison. 1. Slow boat speed 2. Far from any good land 3. Expanding south just takes you into the British Isles, another set of small islands that *ALSO* brings you into the middle of the map. 4. When doing an island spawn, your first priority should *NOT* be to consolidate the island, but to send boats out as quickly as possible to get footholds before other players take that land. Bots will spawn on larger islands, however they aren't often a concern as they'll have eachother to attack. The issue is that Iceland is unfortunately the perfect size where it is common for only a single bot to spawn, forcing you to fight for the island before the bot consolidates it and attacks you before you have the chance to make landfall and expand elsewhere. I have been infatuated with challenge spawns for months now, and if you'd like to continue them, have a few recommendations! These are spots that I have managed to win, or have done well with. They should give you more freedom and/or safety to expand, while still being a fun challenge! Europe: Åland (My #1 favorite) (Very short boating distance to both Finland and Sweden immediately available upon spawning, and then quickly from Finland into the Baltics.) Replot (1 pixel boating distance into Finland. Also a very short distance from Sweden. Often, you are able to capture most/all of northern Scandinavia.) Southern England Caucasia: Karpas Peninsula (Assuming there are no bots on the island. Easy access to Turkey any Syria.) World: Australia Madagascar Baffin Island (My #2 Favorite) (Relatively sizeable in of itself. Spawning on the southern portion of the island, you can easily expand and then boat into Greenland and two different parts of Canada.) Tahiti (Trust me :)
I use Britain spawn in Territorial. If you consolidate power in Britain and Ireland quick enough, you can go attack Normandy and surrounding areas while everyone else is still at the regional stage. You won't have to be threatened by neighbours just marching into your territory unless you're on Mainland Europe, just like IRL.
Your pfp reminds me a lot of Viidith22's pfp and the fact that you both have two 'i's in a row (which is not common) that are the 2nd and 3rd letter in both your usernames along with how similar the theme and color scheme of both of your profile pictures are is kind of funny to me
Surely with a lot of players it woudl be much easier? If nobody else spawns in iceland ofc, as each player would have less land when you get down they wont be 10x the size of you so you could take them over easier
@@TheDevilZii it is possible in world map where you spawn in medium sized island with no bots I had made a video in it where I (almost) did that challenge
Youre welcome zii. I got you to the end of that last one. I was the Corgi guy. Nel wanted me to get rid of you. I told him to peace. You had me pinned in so I couldn't push down
Every Iceland player I've seen is like an ambush player. They just look to Scotland and wait for the person to forget they're there, and then sneak invade them. Even if they take Scotland, by the time they do, everyone else is usually too developed anyway.
@@TheDevilZii maybe this is a good challenge and because it's super hard because it's a small island even if you are all that caucuses map which makes it a lot bigger still some of you find a way to lose somehow and there used to be a cry me a map I think in older updates it was one like remove like the Antarctica I think South Asian maps do I would like to really relive that memory a little
Players with the name Russia or Soviet Union: - Fullsend to expand - Attack bots asap fullsending - Attack you asap fullsending, killing both you and themselves As i spot one nearby, i brace myself for impact.
For an extreme challenge, try winning from Iceland on Very Hard single player. It's an accomplishment just taking over Iceland lol. So far, I've only beat it on Harder and even that needed some starting luck.
