Boron, it is not a matter of being afraid of the late game. People who have played me know that I can hoard with the best of them, and as I said, we secured one of the good hoarder races... and we are shooting for a second hoarder.
All I am trying to do is to make sure everyone realizes that without victory conditions we will play a hoarder's wet dream. Why?
1. Starting positions are utterly defensible.
2. The second teammember can defend the hoarder.
3. Magic paths can be combined for better hoarding.
4. Without diplomacy, teams will delay attacks.
5. An attack on someone's isle will entail extremely vulnerable supply lines.
6. The map is huge.
If everyone realizes that without victory conditions this game will be won only through hoarding, and agrees, that is fine. If the other teams would hate such a game, there is no point in starting a game that most people will abbandon.
So, I suggest everyone who is in the game votes on map, victory conditions, diplomacy, and presence/absence of castles in the chokepoints, with the host breaking the ties.
One thing is for sure - we will all be listening about a voice from the sky that tells us that the nation of Foobaria is engaging in magical manufacturing.
