You were wondering why I didn't attack you? It was because I had defeated general units near your territories and could see your massive armies at my every front. I had to save turns up just to blitz past them.

In most games I will get +10% and +5% movement early on (just getting an extra territory by use of either means that you'll have the card repaid in 2 or 3 turns from that region alone). As soon as it can save me 10% off attrition (when I own about 11 regions), I get the -1 Attrition card - this is unless I am far away from other players and might not need those $100 to accomplish something, in which case I get it earlier on, even if it only reduces my attrition by 3 or 4 percent.

In fact, in the extreme, let's say the whole team manages to get to -30% on soldiers, then all buy both -10% soldiers and -5% soldiers. If there are 5 team members, you now have a 105% discount on soldiers - the game PAYS YOU $.05 each to buy them!
