Oh I agree, my "fun stuff" comment was sincere
I just want to make sure I am not picking a nation that can't get a game plan going in the first year... Heck I was at the enemy capitol in my valley within half a year so I can see you knowing how your neighbour is by turn 3.
Cool to play a game with such a different strategy. It has long term potential since it is large map but you need blitz style survival/tactics in the early game.
