I've played games almost exactly identical to Slay down to the hexagonal tiles before. They're based on Risk.

Vs several humans would be a frickin nightmare.
It took me about an hour to win the first map of Slay against the CPU on my first try because they were immune to terrorists. Terrorists took me down to a few dozen tiles when red and purple had 50+ each. I just spawned some soldiers, stacked until they were equal strength of the enemy, and advanced the soldiers ending each turn with the stronger unit adjacent to them so that they couldn't be attacked. I obtained as much area as possible with the smallest perimeter, so that I could defend it and the CPU would go around, killing other CPU teams.
I got purple stuck in the southern region by just placing a level 3 soldier in the entrance. No way out, no way to make a level 4 to get out due to lack of land, problem solved. Red was stupid and made a level 4. Taking a dozen tiles per turn with soldiers > taking one tile with a mech. They didn't defend their border, so a dozen soldiers could cut around anything and deprive it of its wages. Once the land was divided enough tanks could play cat and mouse with the capitals, preventing anything from spawning.
No way am I playing against humans, though. Too stressful, not stupid enough.

It's neither stressful nor stupid, it's just fun. You're really not risking anything, and each game tells a fun and unique story of human nature. I love it so damn much.
No, no, no. I meant that human players are not as stupid and predictable as the CPU players, which are already stressful enough for me.
