Re: Worst Nations in Each Era
I'm a little suspicious of the "free forts underwater" argument, having just found my first one in an SP test game after searching 33 underwater provinces. Maybe I just got unlucky, but I'm not going to be relying on it.

Yeah, seems like bad luck that one. With no rigorous testing and based only on pure gut feel from playing several games I'd guess a kelp fortress is maybe in something like one in eight underwater provinces. You do get some dry runs though when you're basing your strategy on them....

Is Kelp fortress tied purely to ocean terrain, or is it based on a different terrain feature with underwater just as a prerequisite? thejeff, it might depend on your map.
