YARG - Yet Another RAND Game [Isokron's Midgard wins!]

[Dragar]

Surely if you're at war with someone early it won't be too difficult to find their home province regardless? I can imagine it lets you fire off a blight or hurricane slightly earlier in some cases but I don't see this as more important than having equitable start locations

First, in this game home provinces will have VP's and so will be visible regardless of anything else.
Second, no early rituals because of difficult research.

So, while it may be arguable in general, for this game, I think, predefined locations are a perfect option.

ano, thank you very much for the making the fixes.
I've changed the game settings to use your map.

rdonj, I trust you will check the the matter and act accordingly. If you wish you can consult with me w/o revealing identities.

That is a very good point.

That's also a good point.

Everybody please make sure to run some tests of initial expansion. Indies 9 are much stronger then default indies and could be a real problem even for elite blessed troops and SC pretenders.

I just hope everyone here is experienced enough to laugh at my post.

Haahahahaahh, I laugh at your post!
Yeah, indie 9 can be very crippling, some nation need unorthodox approaches with indie 9.

Alright, the problem has been identified and taken care of.

Heh, so long as I don't have to do quite as well as I would against weaker indies, I'll be ok. Then again, it may be that everyone else has expansion strategies that are robust enough that it doesn't make a difference what indie strength is, but it seems like it would have to slow people down at least a little!

In any case, yeah, testing things out is a wonderful thing.

The status page shows Ermor as having uploaded a pretender... I thought they were going to be banned from this game!?

Very generous of you, WindgedDog, to warn your future opponents of the dangers that await them
