Sounds like it's just a normal pretender that got killed then. Are everyone's starting positions really that bad?

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [A coward always seeks compromise]
 

Damn, that's brutal.

Mine is worthy of circumcised blood drinking death giants.

Thank goodness I picked Hinnom. XD

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [A coward always seeks compromise]
 

Ya, I think we're gonna have to put down hinnom before he eats everything...

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [A coward always seeks compromise]
 

sounds so far like someone just started in a bad spot, someone started with hard independant neighbours, someone had a bad event on turn 1 and is now having his capital sieged and someone lost their pretender on a turn 1 blind attack.

^ so a few people are doing well and keeping quiet. Someone has 2 provinces and is surrounded by rich farmland, no doubt. :P

You may find that CBM-noob-Hinnom is less terrifying than Vanilla-veteran Hinnom. :P

I have a corner start. Bwahahaha!

Also, I noticed that random events seem more painful in CBM. I'm starting to wonder if luck is still a good choice given the number of barbarian raids it brings (greater chance of events).

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Death be thy compass]
 

There are some amazing positive events though, like that one that gives 3k gold, a lab and a huge pile of gems.

I notice that my labs burn down ALL THE BLOODY TIME. >.<

If your mages weren't always handling flammable materials you wouldn't have that problem. You could also move underwater.;)

I think his problem is all the clumsy giants trying to cook each other for a quick meal.
