>I thought you had it made way over there, alone in the west. Pangaea seemed in a very nice position. I have not been in your shoes, but give me two water nations as neighbors against two land nations anyday.<
My problem is that I've been attacked three times on both my nothern and southern fronts. It's nearly impossible for me to advance past my eastern border because of the constant threat of sea invasion. Even though I've been able to repel the attacks, I can't really punish either nation for attacking me. For water nations, there's no threat of retaliation early game, so they can basically raid all they want.
Now, notably I was able to crush all three attacks on both sides 0
But now there's this stupid SC. I should have given him more afflictions when I had the chance! I'm not very good at dealing with SCs, especially not with pangea.
I also picked a very bad pretender God. I won't even go into that, but I could have used the points elsewhere to help boost my income. Pangea has serious issues with intense army upkeep.
IMHO Sauroman clearly had the best starting position. He had a very tiny coastline, and lots of territory to expand into, plus a border to back his empire into.
I think for this reason wrap around maps are much more realistic and interesting. Being in the corner of the map has huge advantages.
