Globe strategy puzzle - help!

[Karrolanth]

I'm having terrible trouble with the strategy game inside the globe. I finally looked at a walkthrough and wrote down the order of attack that was suggested, but is there no way to reset the puzzle so I can start over? Do I need to restart the entire chapter? The guide I looked at said to "make some wrong moves" to reset things but that doesn't seem to be helping me much.

I just can't get my head around exactly what happens and how/why the numbers change after each move either! (This is why I generally avoid strategy games - I just don't get them! :) )

Once the white flags came out, i used the camera on my phone(in the walk through) to photo each move. from there i found the ending.. just a suggestion. It does finish out, this isn't to hard to figure out..

Sorry to resurrect, but the rule about only attacking the lowest enemy number can ONLY be found via hints. Otherwise it is trial and error. If you have disabled the hint system, because you want to beat the game by yourself, then obviously you look at the numbers and try to find some reason for why they increase by the amount they do. Only there is no sense to it. Litterally attack the lowest enemy. Why? No reason. Just do it. Stupid puzzle.

Also, the fact that you have to zoom in on the circles on the globe to find the scroll wheels with the occuli is stupid, too. There is no reason they should not be revealed, or at least partially shown, with the occuli when looking at the entire globe.

If you have 200 troops, would you rather attack 20 troops, or 195 troops?

It's supposed to be strategic. If it didn't matter what order you went in, there'd be no puzzle.

I feel your pain. I messed the thing up, initially, by moving too quickly and accidentally taking the wrong tower. So I backtracked as far as I could trying to reset everything - The first half of the puzzle wouldn't change from red to white. I found no matter what I attacked, my number would switch from 9 to 175. Starting with 175, I continued not just by attacking a lower number, but by attacking the lowest available number on the entire map. Moving forward from that point was successful! Great game, but I definitely wish there was at least an "undo last move" button for careless mistakes like that.

You are posting nonsense about changing for the second time.
@SolitaryAngel said exactly how to reset. When you see white flags - puzzle is reset to beginning of current stage. There are no changes and no differences in solution.

It does not, in fact, reset. I am attacking the lowest country every time and it still resets me at Germany because (I assume) I made a mistake at the very beginning, which refuses to reset. Now I have to reset the whole chapter - a very silly design.

I have a brain, and i understand the concept of attacking the lowest number you can reach first.I have done this each time. yet i can NEVER get the number of my tower sup to knock out the enemy with 719 troops. Highest I can get is 512. i wish this could be skipped, its a horrible puzzle that players absolutely hate. All I can figure is i am missing something, and no, its not me missing a lower number tower-trust me, i've made very, very sure on that several times.no luck.

I think this puzzle is based on the board game called "Risk", for those that are still puzzling with it the answers are in these posts

I figured this out. First, if you mess up go to the largest number you can and click until you’ve reset. After that, all you have to do is always be sure that you connect to the lowest possible number. Look at every connection to be sure before selecting. That’s it. You’ll beat it quickly

This is the exact order to attack in:

Round 1 (Sardinia): 14, 29, 32, 19, 38, 77

Round 2 (Italy): 20, 28, 30, 47, 58

Round 3 (Africa): 100, 123, 46, 143, 34, 300, 55, 351, 512, 790

I believe that after you get the tower piece and add it to the table, you have gotten to a sort-of halfway point and re-setting the game isn't needed at that point. Even if you started at the very beginning, you're still going to end up with 175 per tower at that point where you would add the tower piece. This is just an assumption.

[FragmentalStew]

My problem was that I consistently did not see a move I could make. Specifically the 123 (not the 143). I realized this by reading the order that Sqrly posted. I even went as far as resetting the entire chapter, but it was a waste of time.

If you have 175 on the last part, you have the correct number. You do not need to restart the chapter, you just need to be more careful about looking at the map to see which moves you can make.

It ended up being just trial and error at the end, made no sense. The ONLY part of the game for me that has been bad, the rest awesome.

This was the correct answer, thank you!!

It absolutely does reset to the beginning of the current stage. You never need to go further back than that. You wouldn't have been able to advance if you had made a mistake at the very beginning. The design is perfectly fine.
