Default Re: Players

Well, I have to say that I am now fully convinced that Caelum is the best race in the game. And maybe by a fairly wide margin.

I am playing Caelum for the first time in Slug Fest. I set up the conditions to be unfavorable to Caelum by using hard research and high strength indies. Plus, I don't really know how to play it all that well and have already messed a few things up in the game. Certainly I am nothing compared to a Caelum regular like Cainehill.

But...

We are on turn 27 and my position is as follows:
HOF - top slot
Provinces - 1
Forts - 1 (2 more than anyone else)
Income - 2
Gem income - 1 (nearly twice the 2nd player)
Research - 2, but will take back over first in about two turns since I am putting my mages back to work researching instead of fighting.

And this is with 10 players!

So, despite me trying to make the game conditions difficult for Caelum, I am currently leading anyway. And I don't even have false horrors yet due to the hard research!

I now know why many games do not allow Caelum to be selected as a choice.
