- If you need to be subbed/skipped too often you will be replaced.
- No exploits/bugs allowed. F.e. movement bug, naval attack spam, merchant stack/fort, agent stomping, surrounding armies/navies to deny retreat, armies on ships to go through enemy zone of control (brown tiles where armies should stop), spies spreading plague.. ect

Am looking into possibly adding Rebels as playable faction, looking into the balance atm.

I played this map twice and i believe Portugal is advantageous.

I have seen the other Iberian Peninsular hotseats and have seen Portugal win but Im having trouble believing they are far stronger than any other faction. All factions start about equally strong. Portugal has to immediatly face other player enemies to expand. Has a tough starting position overall and starts with only 2 settlements (which are pretty good tho). The main advantage they start with is that they start with a fleet unlike the other factions which is something to consider removing before the HS starts but overall i do think they are not too strong as they do not immediatly have acces to better units/dont have a good starting position and have to face human opponents unlike the others who can fisrst take on rebel settlements.

France needs atleast 5 turns to join the action.What i meant by the action is see and able to attack another faction's army.When you look overall, yes Portugal doesn't seem over powered but when you play i dont know somehow they are good

By the way im not joining this hotseat or the North Europe.

GIMME FRANCE

Portugal please. I don't see why it would have an advantage, it has the least starting regions.

**saleska2** · March 02, 2016, 03:06 AM

Maybe the least starting regions but still probably the best cities in these regions. They start out better than Spain and Moors for sure. They also get to grab a rebel settlement before the others and start out with a better fleet but if you ask me France is in the best position.
