Boring game no player will be able to defeat the other one until late game, so the games will be about getting tatarians first.
DakaSha and I played MA Van vs MA R'lyeh on Silent Seas. He retired in turn 31 because he got bored, but I force hosted the game twice after he retired, and he got killed by dom death in turn 33.

I wasn't bored. And not a Tartarian in sight, not even a Bane Lord.

Admittedly, the map favors the land nation, and also a blood sacrificing land nation is probably going to stomp any water nation even with equal land/water territory, if you take dom 10 (I did).

I'd like to play some VS games - add me to any list of players interested. I don't really care if there's a ranking system or not. (my 2c)

There were more than a couple of occasions where you came really close to causing some significant damage to me. And I agree it's not a good map for this matchup. So I don't think you played incompetently at all!

It's easier to get out of the water than to get in, especially for R'lyeh, so the land/water distribution might be okay. But the Silent Seas layout leaves you deprived of any solid block of underwater provinces in which to consolidate dominion, and like you said it's got a lot of deep sea, penalizing your gold income.

Did you have heat scales? I almost always go cold-3 underwater. I think heat scales gives you a 5% income hit (per tick) underwater, but cold doesn't.
