Default Re: RUNNING: First Newbie game, let's discuss how we proceed here

Turkey-day break? I will be unable to do turns, due to lack of computer and net access, the 24-27 of this month. Hopefully we can all just have a holiday break, but if not I can find a sub.

I guess it was a little unclear that my declaration of war was directed specifically at experienced players in order to disadvantage myself and otherwise level the playing field.

Are there other means to keep your tabs on the population early game than patrolling?
For a few nations (Hinnom and Niefelheim) you can 1st turn/blind attack with the starting army most of the time and a dozen giants aren't that great at patrolling.

I sort of thought I would find something about this subject linked from The Strategy Index. This is an awesome reference if everyone isn't already aware of it.
