Neo Xekinima - LA game of Mod nations (finished)

I can sympathize with the argument that playing against Heim-like nations can be frustrating. So if Dragonninjaakira doesn't reply to my PMs and email by tomorrow, LoloMo can play Sanguinia. LoloMo, please send me a pretender for Sanguinia when you have some time to do that.

Size isn't as big of a factor as you may think, where strength is concerned. Bone and muscle mass-and more importantly, density are also big factors, and low gravity is actually an advantage.

Now if you're talking mass, they don't have it, but there's nothing that says a midget can't be very, very strong. For that matter, I'm one of the strongest people I've ever met, and I'm a big, tall guy at 6'2, but most of the other very strong people, including my wife who's around 5'4, have been short.

And if you read the stories about dwarves, not only do they live very active lifestyles doing labor intensive work, they're also superhumanly strong.

They also weight at least as much as humans, and are shorter. This would make
them at least as wide, thus no more of them would fit in a tactical square. They
would be no easier to trample than humans, and they would eat no less.

I.e. dwarfs who are as strong and healthy as humans should be size two.

Nah, birds are extremely strong for their size/weight, housecats even more so. You're thinking in Earth/human terms. Dwarves are different-not wide, not tall, not big at all, just strong strong strong. And who says they have to weigh as much? Titanium's stronger than lead and weighs a whole lot less.

Dwarves just have a different internal architecture from humans.

And they can probably survive on a diet atleast partly made up of dirt-after all they evolved from earthworms, not monkeys-check your Norse mythology.

Okay, since I haven't received anything from Dragonninjaakira and LoloMo sent me a pretender for Sanguinia I am going to create the final mod now without the Hoburgs and start the game. You'll get all the info via email as soon as it's up.
