25 provinces/player, with water provinces equal to:
(water players * 0.75) / (land players + water players * 0.75)

Can we do that? Obviously that's approximate .

Yes, death 3, misfortune 3, productivity 3, magic 3 would be a valid combo. In fact, I think that'd probably be a more servere penalty than what I suggested for LA Marignon...... although giving a heavy infantry position prod-3 seems so generous. Hmm....

So.. am I trying to create as weak as possible a pretender within that ruleset or a pretender as strong as possible within that ruleset?

Stupid question, but... I felt I had to ask it.

It decides whether I give Atlantis a father of winter with fire magic.

I noticed in the rules that you didn't require us to use up all the points we could...

Are we avoiding physically resilent pretenders or is it merely coincidence that the chassis chosen aren't very durable.

Lazy, I think you just make the weakest guy possible and some-one elses is picked for you . The mage-like pretenders have low dom and must spend alot to get high in a particular path and are pretty useless in combat to boot so they will probably be popular.

I've been answering people's questions by changing the text of the original post . So reread it if something didn't make sense, because I probably changed the text.

Go ahead and post descriptions, yeah.

Count me in on this one, Doc. This sounds like fun.

The pretender I made is for LA Pangea:

Crone:
Magic: F2A3W3E3S2D1
Dominion: Str:7, Trm2, Prod2, Dth3, Mgc3

Is this not flawed enough?
