Chupacabra - EA game for newish players - full

Sorry LP. I tried to leave all the natural chokepoints, plus provinces which had a mountain in the middle of them as "mountains". Possibly I failed in some cases - apologies in that case.

Also sometimes the terrain choices are a bit stretched from the visual appearance on the map. For example people were previously a bit annoyed by the vast expanse of swamp, so quite a few of the provinces with a bit of swamp drawings in are now not swamp.

Edit: On closer inspection, that's not actually very true about the chokepoints. I remember now that my thinking was that many of them looked kind of flat and easily-walked-through (e.g. 98, 34). 133 should have been a mountain though I think.

Anyway, there are a fair few mountains scattered around, but I'll take your comments into account and possibly restore a few more the next time I use this map.

Gracias. Though what I really need to do is figure out whether the game is supposed to ignore border mountains for the purpose of cave forts, and whether I can mod just Agartha so they can build them, even on 'mountain-less' 'border-mountain-full' random maps.

I may stall this turn. You can blame ATT/Bellsouth for this.

Problem bypassed. Turn sent.

I'm in way to many games... I have no idea what the hell I'm doing. I had an idea planned out before hand, but been pulverized by independents... I'm not yet prepared for EA agartha, to my regret. Should have had more SP time. BTW, those horse tribe cavalry are mean when you have a measly attack skill of eight up against 16. Even trampling isn't so useful.

I suggest everyone put me out of my misery, quick, commit war against me. The only success I've had expanding is against the other humans, cause the indeps own my forces each and every time, it seems. I needed to practice much more.

How many games are you in LP?

Five. Jaguar, Chupacabra, SmokyBat, Veturi, Outsiders.

I think I got greedy when I stuck my hand in the cookyjar.

Wow, I just (tentatively) joined my second game. I think I'll take a lesson from your experience and stop there for now.
