Sorry to see you go Jarkko
As besides your fine company
I think you would have been one of the few to contribute to the story telling side of this game.
The map is certainly unbalanced to say the least. And to back up Drager, his starting position really was the pits. Since besides some seriously tough capital neighbours, the other provinces are either waste or swamp. Hurray, huge gold income available there!
And in theory Agartha have made a good start with claiming a second capital so early, but in reality it actually stinks due to the high number of powerful neighbours, combined with there being bloody barbarian provinces everywhere. Since Agarthan troops + Barbarian encounter = dead Agarthan's.
It's a tough world out there, so keep your heads down!
