Water nations - No, if we are doing Inland. The four water provinces is not really enough to recruit your national mages and national troops as much as you may want in the mid-game. Don't forget that you can't recruit ambiphious troops in a land castle, other than that special weak infantry guy from R'lyeh shore provinces. I have never seen a water race do anything decent on the map Inland.

Soul Contracts - They are fine as is. With the horror mark they give, it can be problematic making them work well as there is a chance every turn that you may lose it. Also, on a fast map like Inland, you would be far better off getting the devils now instead of later. By the time the soul contracts begin to work for you, you may have already lost your capitol.

Zens Mods - Yes for pretenders. It might be best to avoid the spell mods since we have some newbies signed up for the game, though I don't really care either way.


I am kind of hoping I get Caelum so I can check out the Return of the Raptors theme! hehe
