As for Oceania, I'm absolutely not agree that everything was done to survive.
1. Taum 2 spell ride the currents. Good way to get somewhere
2. Capricon mages can travel over the land and are stealthy 10, so moving to the sea through someone's territories is not a big deal. Ichtysatyrs also can do it.
3. We know the map before starting the game - pretender could be designed in a proper way - ieither proper for land conquire or for water thuggung.
4. Even if these options wouldn't exist, there is such thing as diplomacy. You've met at least 4 nations to the moment, and maybe more. And would be even more if you took water first. Dimoplacy is a great thing if you can't build armors and send to naked Chinese troops armed by only screwdrivers.

I really don't like situations when someone givups this way damaging all the current balance. Nad givups on such an early stage wher really nothing even threatens the nation. Just someone will take land and the playr will be delayed in growth. But for the only water nation on the map it's not really a game braker.

Oh, this sounds challenging. Did Oceania go AI? I was allowing travel through Ape Empire lands. That's unfortunate. Guess I need to guard my borders and figure out some way to attack the underwater castle...lolz.

Re: Talon of Fear - Random nations - Started
 

I guess Oceania didn't have the "neightbours" filter on as there was a adjacent water province next to his capital. The AI took it straight away...

Re: Talon of Fear - Random nations - Started
 

No harm was done to the games balance because i set myself to AI only after my land-based armies were scattered by two Abysia players.
The province south of my capital was water, but it had 60 Ichty Warriors in it and didnt offer a strategic advantage compared to the pain so i skipped it. militarist, dont assume i just gave up. I gave up and turned the AI when there was no more choice to make. I could have given all my gems to a friend, THAT would have messed up balance.

Re: Talon of Fear - Random nations - Started
 

Well I will be down to 1 province after this turn, so by Rag-x's example I should not bother with 5 minute turns and go AI.

Nah, what a way to wuss out, I'll stick it out till I'm dead.

You learn something new every day playing this game, apparently Rag -X has a friend.

Ragnarok-X, while I'm absolutely not agree with your logic(yuo still have capital which produces gems and 25k pop, and someone will just have it for free), Torin didn't mention any strict rules for this game, the game seems to be created relaxed and newbie-friendly, so I I'm ok if he is ok, he is game admin.

Re: Talon of Fear - Random nations - Started
 

Need som E gems (30 maybe) in exchange on something else (have a lot of F and some D). Is anyone interested in friendly exchange?

Re: Talon of Fear - Random nations - Started
 

Admin, I need to be on a business trip during Oct 1-5. Can I apply for a turns delay?

Re: Talon of Fear - Random nations - Started
 

ok, delayed

Re: Talon of Fear - Random nations - Started
