Re: Happy New Year, New Game, New Players (noob EA game: Running))
It does, but the nations at the corners usually have a slight advantage in that they will have 2-3 outer facing provinces with no neighborly competition for expansion.
Also natural terrain such as waterways and mountain ranges can limit available paths of expansion. In hind sight both TNN and Fomoria were bottlenecked and one of them had to devour the other in the first year to have a real chance of making it to the end game.
That said I'm not ready to write anybody off since not many have had a smooth ride.
