I'll be taking Caelum then. I've only played them once, but got wiped out (and whipped out) by turn 15. Granted, picking a dummy test Pretender with Dominion 1 didn't help much.

You should be able to set starting positions without using the scenario, by doing a big of .map editing. That, or we could rewrite the scenario to serve our needs better: you don't need to send us the corrected .map file for us to benefit from your modifications.

It also means you could put twenty Thrones of the World in your starting province, wily Pasha, along with a couple dozen (friendly) Tarrasques. The other players might get suspicious, though, but I'm always willing to cover your back - for the right price, of course. M'okay?

Hmm... I would think there'd be a way to mod the map file to change the independent strength. But I don't know where or how. I'm all for a tougher indy strength (higher than 3 at least). Maybe removing the "#scenario" line gives the capabality to set indy strength and research levels? Just a guess, I'm at work so I can't test this myself.

Ok. I experimented, and if I delete the scenario line, then I can specify the usual game settings. I don't know much about .map editing. Does anybody know if it changes other stuff?

I have attached the updated map file, even though you don't need it (according to Alneyan, and I believe him). Note that you need to change the .txt extension to .map for it to be useful.

I sent in my pretender also.

If'n any of you haven't played on maps that have pre-placed forts, you should note that neutral troops never patrol. Thus, you can siege the castle with a single commander, resulting in a nice bit of an extra cash flow. So, you should not be surprised if a certain nation with flying, very fast scouts has more money than you would expect... If there weren't enough reasons to gank Alneyan otherwise
