Surviving on an Island
Ok, I was going through a bunch of the nations and starting games just to play a few turns and get a feel for the units. I downloaded the world map and started a game with Pangaea using a Lord of the Wild with 3N, 3F and 1B (don't ask why, I just did)
Well imagine my surprise when I began in the ocean! I thought "I didn't know Pangaea was a water nation" and I looked at the name of the province and it said "Hawaii" and thought "Oh no! It couldn't be!" But it was. As I looked closer I saw the little bits of land under my capital, completely surrounded by water AND water provinces.
So then I looked at the units and thought "Ok, I have harpies who can fly. I'll just have to mass them and hope they can beat something when I fly them across the water" (Stop laughing) It seemed like a good idea until I remebered that I can't fly across water. After some more thought I gave up. I only have nature gems, and need water or air to forge items to get across the ocean.
Could anyone succeed with this if they didn't happen to design their pretender with Air or Water? I suppose I could recruit Pans until one of them comes up with the random in water...but then they would have to defeat a province alone! Or wait until I got a few of them. At 350g a wop...on normal richness...at least I took productivity...but income is 174...I just don't see it.
If anyone is thinking "Oh, that's easy" please enlighten me.
