You'd play Late Age Ermor with an imprisoned pretender?

Id have to look at it but Im sure there is some strategy. If for no other reason than to make use of other people expecting the usual tactics.

Saying that something is an automatic choice will lead to being majorly surprised in multiplayer games.
I was under the impression that you had only played a very few multiplayer games.

But I think Ive hosted more than most. Its not that Im unaware of multiplayer games. I just dont enjoy player-vs-player games. Granted I do have much more experience in DOm games that stressed alliance.

On maps of 5 prov to player then a god can be more important.
Less important more likely, since you won't be able to build equipment or research buffing spells before enemy contact.

Really? I expected you of all people to say that a large stomping god would be an advantage on small maps. Particularly with many players where the bidding for mercs is so fierce. A stomping god can be very useful for early growth.

On maps of 10 prov per player then the waiting period isnt so much of a problem.
10 province per player maps will likely see the first capital sieges before turn 10.
I meant to say 10 or more. 10 is the games default suggestion for games. You are right. 10 is probably not a good dividing line for this. Im not sure how many games larger than that get played.
