There dont seem to be many scenario maps. More support for the MPers than the Soloists.

True... even I play more MP than SP games, I do know the map edit commands better than the vast majority of others. If ONLY we had one of the beta testers who would have actually done beta testing on the map edit commands then they would probably be working better. HINT.

Heehee. You should have seen all the commands we tested and took out. Not to mention the extensive back and forth changes to reset the caps to the new limits such as the 1500 provinces. And of course everytime you changed one thing it seemed to affect every other thing. SLAP.
But it was fun. I was the first person to get to play in mega-games. At least the server commands seemed to get a complete testing. Those were considered a hotter priority.

It might be fun now to reconsider a large scenario map which starts out with created AI players of nature based nations allied against the human players.

AI nature based nations have the problem of nature based summoning spells where many of these summons need food supplies. Just something to consider.

Hmmm I rarely have that problem. It seemed to me that the food boost from nature magic was very charitable. And do the vine summons need food?

Does any of the other nations strike any of you as a better idea? Or should I stick to the original premise?
Thoughts?

From my testing I've discovered nations which need almost zero food... such as EA Argatha and LA Ermor are quite strong for the AI.
The EA Niefelheim probably plays the most powerful late game... casting battlefield spells like: anti-magic, mass protection, mass regeneration, doom, and even the anti-SC spells like disentigrate and claws of kokytos.

In my mass tests (mentioned earlier) I tended to find that Ermor usually led early in the game, Oceania in mid game, and Arcos in late game if it could last that long.
EA Agartha I havent looked at but that might be a good idea. Ermor should be easy to build a decent AI boosting strategy around. One thing I played with was giving Eater of Dead as a pretender. It does break loose eventually but a nation like Ermor would make good use of being able to follow it around sweeping up the emptied provinces. It might make an interesting game scenario.
