15 Feb 13 UTC	Spring, 400 BC.: Do we all agree to the fact that we make no alliances in this game? (Seeing that it's anon with no private messages)
15 Feb 13 UTC	Spring, 400 BC.: Yes, thats the plan - can only post info here
15 Feb 13 UTC	Autumn, 400 BC.: This map isn´t really big on the whole "Balance" thing, is it?
15 Feb 13 UTC	Autumn, 400 BC.: Hm, not to bad - not sure there is anyone with an advantage? its all about how people move in relation to each other - might have been better of with anon / private messaging though
15 Feb 13 UTC	Autumn, 400 BC.: It's a FFA. Everyone kill eachother! (Except me, of course, just leave me alone)
15 Feb 13 UTC	Autumn, 400 BC.: I´m pretty sure yellow has a huge advantage. They. as the only one, are guaranteed a build in round 1, assuming they move correctly, with a very high % shot at 2. Now, take green as opposed to that. The only way for green to get +2 is for pink to screw up royaly and not move back to the village. Pink has a decent shot, again depending on how the others move, but because of the way green is set up, it´s very unlikely to happen. Blue is somewhat similar to pink, and yet has more in common with yellow due to the boat, as you have a very good shot at getting +2
15 Feb 13 UTC	Autumn, 400 BC.: Green is absolutely crap. There's a pretty big chance that no matter what I won't be able to get any areas for a while and will by determination be weak, very weak. My mere 2 units will be easy to destroy - which is kinda lame imo. But then again, it's FFA - I might just be able to lay low enough for long enough to survive somehow.
15 Feb 13 UTC	Autumn, 400 BC.: I don't actually agree with either of your statements. Everything is determined by how everyone else moves. If I had move to Cecrops channel to make sure to get Strife's cave, Green could get Nestor's Kingdom. Yellow could bonuce me in Tartarus and still get Cupid's Cloud. I think its all about how the different nations move - its a bit like the 3-player chess game Janus has, someone will be shafted, but because of the moves, not an imbalance in the map or lack of skill
