Sons of the North - LateEra - SS6.4

[StOuFf]

Alright, this is how I came up with the final map:




Here is the descr.strat: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0By...i1SRkEyVk1Sc1U

Some things:
-Scotland/England is damn hard to balance so im not entirely sure now. I gave Scotland 2x shipwright while England still has more ports. I also gave Scotland a better general with Nightfighter. Their militiary power is equal, I hope this can make up for the better settlements that England has but I cant be sure, please look at it.
-I had to give Norway and Lithuania a few small buffs. TO could take 2 Lithuanian settlements on turn 3 easily and Denmark rush on Norway was also incredibly easy. They are still the weakest faction but you cant rush em anymore.

Thanks! be sure to rep the man for his work!

ill check out the file tomorrow.

Is there still an open spot in this hotseat?

[saleska2]

I think there are 2 more spots.

[ArBo]

Then count me in

[Ramble12]

Saleska, did you buff Novgorod?

And are we going for random factions?

Btw if we count Oathsworn, then we are full and ready to start!

[zender9]

Let me know when everything is set, so i can create the hotseat.

[saleska2]

Well when I deleted the remaining Novgorod settlements and units they actually seemed quite balanced, almost equal power to other factions and good position. I just gave them a little bit better income to compensate but they should still be one the best factions

I am mostly looking for information regarding Scotland/England balance.

Btw I changed my mind and am now for each player picking preferred faction if we can manage that

[zender9]

I can draw an order for you guys to pick your factions.Like
1. player name
2. player name

Sounds fair huh ?

[Ramble12]

Leave England with 3 settlements. That should be balanced enough

Well, I picked up Novgorod first, so choose you factions, boys and let's get started

[awesomesheeps]

Oops i misread ignore this

[awesomesheeps]

I can draw an order for you guys to pick your factions.Like
1. player name
2. player name

Sounds fair huh ?

Sounds tight

Could also do it as following: each players picks 2 or 3 factions he would like to play and then gets randomized one of these.

I dont think giving England less settlements will help much, I removed Dublin but if I would remove any other settlements not only would England easily take them, he could even sack them giving him a potential boost. Also I think its likely that Scotland can take York early on so that could balance settlements not to forget I placed the Scottish fleet so he can easily reach Caernavon.

[ArBo]

I'm in favour of Zender's proposal as well.

[Oathsworn]

I changed my mind. I want to take Poland or Teutonic order

Edit: Zenders offer seems fair enough

[Invidiarum]

If there is still an empty spot, I´d like to participate.

[Ramble12]

So what's the plan, guys?

[saleska2]

I think we should wait for Stouff his final call. He should be first in choosing faction anyway I think.

[zender9]

Well, i count who wants to join and total number i found 10.Now im gonna ask mithridate if he wants to join or not as he doesn't mentioned anything on this thread.If he doesn't number of players will fall to 9 and unfortunately there will be no slot for invidiarum, if he wants to join then there will be no slots for both invidiarum and arbo as they are the last ones who wants to join.

[Lord Luka]

Do we pick factions now or not? I would like to try Novgorod since I haven't played with them yet. Otherwise I don't really mind. I'd just like to get started

[zender9]

Once the players who will play cleared, i will draw an order for choosing factions.Then you guys will choose with that order.
