We are not using the 2.16 patch. I was waiting awhile to see if there was any problems before upgrading.

I think everyone has two neighbors and then more slightly indirect neighbors via the spoke provinces. It sounds like some people got some not-so-great starting positions (surrounded by waste, etc.), although mine seems decent.

Pasha - This Slime Lips will never learn. I might just go and park 10 scouts there, what are you gonna do about it?

Actually, I have 3 neighbors in my wastelands. But all is not lost. Take a look at the attached battle report and you will see!

Side note - Pythium and I crashed on a neutral. His army was well over half mercenaries. This battle was yet another prime example of why I almost never buy mercs anymore. They are hardly ever worth the cost, for they run much too easily and are then simply dead dead dead. Plus, you don't ever get a refund from chicken mercenaries!

Anyway, this is not a balanced map in the slightest, but who cares? it is a good layout for a slugfest.

I find mercs can be decent fodder to protect your other troops. They route less than say militia http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Slugfest 3 (closed)
 

Well, geez, Panther, you weren't supposed to actually be there when my troops showed up... Those mercs woulda' done just fine against a couple of blood druids and blood vines.

Looks like the action is heating up! My informants caught sight of a few interesting battles last turn http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I just got STOMPED by some indies... this sucks...

Re: Slugfest 3 (closed)
 

Very nice fight last turn. I got to watch it too.

I am slightly disappointed - I have yet to fight human opponents. I am sure things will heat up in this part of Ringworld too...
