Get ready to see a lot more armies on a standard board that you're use to.

In Anarchy, armies are constantly rising up around all of your territories. This is because at the beginning of your turn, every one of your territories produces a single army on every adjacent territory, regardless of whether or not you own it. The result is that after every round of turns, every territory has at some point in the rotation had as many units placed on it as it has surrounding territories. Conversely, that territory has placed one territory on every territory to which is adjacent.

This army creation scheme puts a lot of units on the board over the course of a complete round of turns. In fact, in one round factories place on the board twice as many units as their are borders (for a total of 194, I think).

But don't panic. For every army you put in your opponents' camp, they put one in yours. In theory this amounts to a net 0 advantage (per territory).

Remember, you are strengthening all of your adjacent opponents at each start of your turn, so the best strategy is to control adjacent territories ..so they become "cooperative" factories.
