lots of folks think the basic game is unbalanced.

Actually, it's quite playable in "basic form" and far from "unbalanced" ... just some effects which expert players could exploit.

Starting with 30 prov/player is much worse: the micromanaging nightmare kills the game before turn 40.

But it looks like every noobie has make the same error - starting games which get too tedious to play them to the end.

Arralen, I realized that pretty quickly when I started too. I started games in SP on the big map, but I didn't like using a lot of opponents, so I'd only have 6 or 7. Those games I never finished, I hardly ever got past turn 40 or so (to much micromgmt and I barely saw an enemy AI).

Then I switched to games on small maps with the max nbr of recommended players, and it was much more intense, and I was prone to finish those games, or at least gave up after 100 or so turns without winning.

Now I play MP only (or SP for testing pretender designs).

Seems like my friend is out, I may play 2v2 but I will not play four players on Orania.

I think he meant if we were to play 2v2, he would be interested, but only if the map was something small enough for 2v2.

Depends on who is playing. If we were to change it to 2vs2 on a smaller map, Folket would be in and we could start the game. In that case, I would be with Folket.

I'm not sure if CuriousCat is still in. If he is, I could be with him, or a neutral. We would need a sixth player for 2vs2vs2, and it seems Folket would prefer a smaller game.

If we can agree on a smaller map (15prov/player) and normal richness, I would play, too.

Btw, Naresh, if you 'are not allowed' to download anything - how did you get DOM2 to the latest patch version ?
