Proposal: EitB Pitboss game

[Hart]

Fine folk, I'd just like to add that the reddit crew ran a FFH2 "no lairs" game last year. During that game we saw a grand total of 4 barbarian units over around 250~ turns.

I'm wondering if we should:
A) turn on Wildlands, for more animal barb spawns, or
B) turn on Raging Barbs.

I have no idea how the barb spawn mechanics work in FFH2/EitB, but I think it's worth investigating.

The main thing that influences barbs is the difficulty level. Was that game at a low difficulty, by chance?

In any case, since we're at Deity, I expect you'll have no shortage of XP to turn into Wanes. Deity Raging Barbs - we played one of those, started each civ with 2 CG1 archers, and still it was tight at times. I would expect the barbs to kill at least one civ if we turned that on here without making any other changes.

It was either Monarch, or Prince. Probably Prince.

Wow, that sounds like a rough game. Be glad to see how it goes then!

... and map size. If the map size is small enough to inhibit barb spawns, I expect barbs to be the least of our worries.

Mardoc already obliquely referred to it, but these two successive posts look a little :

We choose Sandalphon of the Sidar.

There's also the Clan in a game with no lairs, AND I did bring it up earlier in suggesting Wildlands...

Anyway, I won't be the one playing them.

Oh, that's right, you weren't here for the first always war we played. Turns out, the Clan declare war on the barbs at first meeting, just like any other civ.

Anyway...NabameliKnight? You're up.

Is there an up to date manual for all the civs and leaders in EITB?

[Amelia]

Give us a day, we're getting something sorted out.

NabameliKnight?

Cool name.

Anyway, we're going with Valledia of the Amurites.
