Have fun everyone! I look forward to hearing how your nations pan out.

Korwin, I've been thinking a bit more about flight underwater and the one other unit I can recall seeing this behavior on is horrors. I wonder if the combination of aquatic/amphibious and flight (native abilities, not through magic items) is what does it? Maybe I'll run some tests to see.

[Squirrelloid]

Underwater flying is tied to stormflight + something iirc. Its kinda weird.

@P3D
You do know, that if you are last you could make your next turn a few minutes after the last?
Just asking, there should'nt be a need for extensive diplomacy at this point, so no reason to wait... Or?

Hope I dont sound tooo impatient

[Lung Drago]

EDIT: Woops, different thread. OK, let me think of something constructive to say....eeeeeerm....

Yes, I did have one question: Since this is a balanced map, are there any..well how to call it, preset borders in mind, or are all provinces first come, first serve? The way weak independent armies unfold, I might be barging into someones capitol sooner than I would like

[Korwin]

As long as nobody takes mine, its first come first served.
What do you mean? That sounds selfish? Really?

[Squirrelloid]

Preset borders? Boring. That's even more boring than enforced diplomacy.

I don't like binding diplomacy either. Well, the only exception would be the slight difference between a NAP and a NAP-3. There's no point in trying for and feeling successful because of signing a NAP-3 when it ends up being a mere NAP anyway, if you know what I mean.

Very interesting, I didn't think of that since I was only considering abilities that were visible in the game. Maybe I'll try modding different abilities onto one of Caelum's commanders until I get it to work.

Yes, it's always first come, first served. Of course the person who's provinces you're taking may see it differently. I think on this map each nation's provinces are more subjective than Sixlands, where each group of provinces has a different color. On that map I assume if I take another nation's provinces that I'm asking for war. And I know if they take mine that it's war.

[Jiggymike]

I have sort of a set order that I am planning on taking provinces in that should result in the longest period of time possible before running into conflict. However, I have no way of knowing whether my neighbors have the same idea

[Valerius]

In case anyone missed it, please be aware that the pentagram in the middle of the map connects provinces - so you have access to more nations than just your direct neighbors.
