EA Game - "Strolling" Started! Fight!

Also on this vien, do they players have map preferences or will they leave it to me to select one? And We need more solid victory conditions if people do not want just straight up VP for capitals.

How about half the capitals for 2 turns? Or Half the provinces or something? Ideas?

I can't really help on the VP idea since all my games have been the standard game, i.e. kill all the other pretenders.

As for the map, I have yet to see a map I don't like in this game, but seeing as I am the only water nation, it should logically not have too much water.

I suggest getting another water nation into the game (I'm not volunteering) but having just 1 water nation is a little unbalancing, especially if you play on one of the big premade maps with lots of water.

Well there is the map Oraina and while its a big map its not like Glory of the Gods and has little water, I think 20 provinces. We could also get a second water nation or an Agartha, mmm.

Edit: Well we have an Agartha, and in EA they easily get into water. Maybe with Oraina and Agartha it would be fine.

Yes, Orania is fine (and wrap around

).

Having only one water nation is not a big deal : many nations have amphibian access (sacred TC, Agartha, etc...) or can gain it through magic. AMOF, I am not really obsessed with balance : a perfect balance is almost impossible, anyhow, diplomatic and random events make most things unpredictable. We just have to avoid heavy unbalancing ; with the Orania map + 1 water nation, I don't think it shall be the case. And R'lyeh EA is not a very easy nation to play

Maybe should we also consider scripting the start provinces since the game engine is not very proficient with that. The advantage is that any player is guaranteed to have (more or less) equal room around his capitol. The drawback is that the capitols are known (and will later have to be domed, for sure)

It seems the game is up and ready to load pretenders.

I love EA R'Lyeh, but it can a real chore to get my fishy dupa on land solidly, moreso against live opponents instead of just the AI. But, I'm a tinkerer and always willing to try ideas out for the nations I really enjoy to play. Win or lose, it should be fun.

I can play EA Atlantis if you want me to counter some water dominance.
