quite obviosly something different. SO what do you do? Do you go for the resouce pairs, or try to hit the docks and hit your oppenets nice and early. DO you look for other castles to try and get the cheap win? Whats you fav castle (or in a 2-3 player game castles) to start with? any real tips besides-be sure you have good dice against the neutrals.

i recently got schooled in this game

as a two player game, its practically ridiculous... a coin toss at best

there will be many predators scoring big points with this map for a while...

I played a few myself... a first timer on it, has absolutely no chance.. especially on fog of war...

be warned

ps. it is a blast... its not risk at all, but it is fun.. its more of a pistols at dawn kind of game

it is a coin toss with two players that know the strategy... its a masacre for those who dont...

I have a lot of strategy but there are some things to note about this map.

It was designed with 6 player fog of war games in mind. Assassin is particularly good with those settings on this map.

Some castles have different things they should do (at least in my mind), I'll share some ideas...

Aoria should advance on the sanctuary (they have the least number of neutrals to go through to do it) or remain hidden for as long as possible collecting their internal village and resource pair and than advancing southward.

Figye should use the docks to quickly secure resource pairs. Remaining hidden will not likely work very well for it.

Xi should take Mat (it's internal village) and than work on it's resource pairs or using the dock to go somewhere else.

Borun should make a mad dash for Hat and secure it from Aoria before they reach it then collect resource pairs and work along down to Ghyr or take its dock.

Ghyr should take the internal village right away then work with the dock village or up the coast to Borun. When the time is right snatch the easy neutral territories around you for some natural territory bonus.

Mua has a ridiculously easy resource pair, but not much else going for it. Take the resource pair and than decide which dock you want to use. The near one will help you keep your resources longer, but the far one will leave more armies between your dock and your castle.

These ideas are only early game ideas, and they mostly apply to fog so the rest is up to learning and watching other players.
