Re: Looking for a good PBEM setup. Post your favor
Spending 240 points = 6(!) scales on making a Virtue a semi-rainbow pretender is ridiculous.
This can only work with low indies (<7) and >12 prov/player, with easy expansion and no early threat, and easy research.
With stronger indies, you'll run into lots of provinces which the Virtue cannot take alone or with just a handful of crappy units. And with a low number of provinces per player, every prov you cannot get (and have to go around) makes you loose momentum in comparison to the other players.
