Default Re: Nations that seem strong/weak

Multiplayer blitz games (usually played on maps where the provinces equal playerx10 or less) with no special victory conditions definetly do a lot toward defining strong/weak nations. I think that more game settings might help with those.

Mictlan with that flying stealth titan assassin pretender can also make a major dent in a blitz game very early on.

Neifelheim loses many of its drawbacks in a game like that, and it offers one of the few other strategies for a small blitz game (defensive buildup)

On the other hand, Im cranking up for some mega games on maximum maps which might shake out some people whose rankings of nations are too cast in cement. There are alot of game variations to explore.
