See, that's the kind of stuff I want to learn about by MPing and the whole reason for my starting this thread. I look forward to watching you wipe the floor with my sorry ass.

They get alot of their money from events which are unaffected, they specialize in producing supplies and are therefore super effective in wastelands compared to other nations with living troops, and they get Hidden in Sand online simultaneously with their Carrion Lords.tenuki wrote:Hmm. I don't think I would have picked Pangaea if I'd known we'd be playing on a map that's mostly waste.
Isn't there anything available with a better territory balance?
Yes, there are a few spells that are Pangaean specialties that require forests to work (Beckoning, Faerie Trod), but their life looks pretty good if everyone has to deal with a lot of wastes. Makes Turmoil/Luck look pretty sexy. It's not like you're competing with Ashen Fields.

(My rationale for raising concerns: I got scared by the prospect that, of all nations, Abysia with their wasteland survival will be the one able to field the largest non-undead armies. Secondly, I thought that Pangaea's forest survival (in particular the movement advantage) would be worth shit due to absence of forests. I also worried about the frequency of nature sites; dunno how the system works here. Glad to hear it's not relevant - on one hand.)
On the other, and without being able to contribute a map of my own, I'd still prefer some more variety.
