That's basically the only rule. Neighbors is the only game setting that really matters.
With some of the mod changes, workshops can be a very nice substitute for hills, you just have to love the whip that much less.

Yeah, a very competetive neighbour is making conquring him near imposible considering cats , Ha can defeat knigs, enough muskets cats can beat rifles so for defending you dont need that much,'luckily 'people loose interest on game and they are easier to conquer, of course if they are not finhary or sutree, which are incredible stuborn or retep 100 knigs those neighbours are bad for you good for others.
i realy do belive seven and parkin try to kill the game.

Are workshops unchanged here in ToW? I know PH mines are good with PRO but I guess I'll have to look to see what happened to workshops. Also, whip nerf, although I understood that change came along too. Chalk one up for misinformation if I am predictably wrong.

I was thinking yesterday when played my turn, if Lp wasnt in game we would had played at least 50 turns more.Even before now he was near always the last to end turn and wait for all other to end turn.I know i am competetive and like to win, and do everithing to do so ..,but him is way beyond that.

looks like we passed over Lp problem but from my point of view could be a bigger problem or smaller.I have 2 more cities to finish Gavagai and the reaction of grimace could be 1: complet noob doing nothing,2: scared noob , and amase a large army making me to do the same;3 agresiv play(this is not noob anymore) and sending units towards me.FUn times ahead.With parkin i knew what to expect because he wanted to win , about grimace i dont think he wants that so in a way is more dangerous.

Well, well long time no update.First becasue of RL, and second becasue this game frustrated me alot.
1.you should had seen my start..., with 9 hills and food so awakard placed, i could improve first food just in turn3 after geeting the worker and get the other food in range another 3 turns and both were 5 food , but i decided then to play just for fun and was ok, but...
2.i started to conquer gavagai and i manged a great comeback and i was happy , and my mind(argh) decided that i can win so i got hope again, and everithing was good, until i seen the map via map exchancheges, and then...
3.I got realy pissed gain how the map was made and how i got the least land, the fewer happines resources, the worse land(maybe haram is in contention with mine) and more of that seven conquer hack i might say easy.I still was hoping to win, but...
4.seven gets near for free all german joyey land and i have freaking vietnam near me and the other neighbours are second third fourth in power.Not a very lovely vision.So i need my mind to set that we are playing just for fun again.So..
5. I build a huge army decided to atack either retep or grimace because he has avery long water front with me,so i wasnear decided to do that so i asked tribute for him knowing he will say no,but he said yes so i chanched my mind and i will atack retep, i could ahd took like 6-7 turns from grimace in first turn including his capitol, but he payd so i will not atack him. so i moved towards retep which is spending all money on me.Well if someoen wants to lear how to defend should ask retep to play along them.He took the worst nation when took over and made a very strong comeback.
6.I need to relax, but i feel how game is going towards seven becasue just of the neighbours, and not at all that seven played beter, but he was more lucky ib this draw.
7.And to add insult to injury i cant reach seven with my galeons, what can i say, got worts land, no acces to seven, less happy health resources, so yeah krill realy loving me.
8.And even worse looks like seven and gawdazak working togheder as gawdazak doesnt realize who's the true boss of the game.Count the freaking cities man is not that hard.

I had a tough time w/ my start too, awkward food and almost no happy (at my peak I had 18 cities with only a single silver as my only happy), but I learned a lot trying to figure out how you played your start, after seeing your land, seeing it was so much more successful than mine despite a similar situation.
How much money were you able to extort out of your neighbors in total?
p.s. I'm not a smurf!!!

p.s. I'm not a smurf!!! I know now, but back then rb was infested by smurfs, right now i am seriously thinking to play some games myself as a smurf , because i see people relate diferent to diferent oponents.Everyone near me whips into the ground to get army or if they are conquered they whip same in spite.hapened in 13 hapens here and i see others dont get same treatment.
I managed to get just 2k from grimace and he was right to gave that otherwise i would had atacked him so everyone to see i dont mees around.I made the mistake to ask gold before be prepared just to commodore in 13, not this time.and wait and see wetbandit will pay dealry for that 1k he refused to pay. I diddnt asked from haram cause i realy consider atack him and i dont wanna be a jerk ask money and after atack.
what i hope for this game is gaw will open his eyes seven has like 45 citie which is more then 50% what i have and all those were get with very few investment and hak land was far beter the gavagai.anyway i am decided to make seven to realy fight for win even that means gaving game to gaw, i am convinced he got evriting to easy and that doesnt compensate the fact he got no cooper at the start.Iwould change my capitol with his knowing about cooper miss anyaday.
So yeah gaw has a chanse to win thhe game as i intend conquer haram if i can of course, so i have acces to seven land.well seven can get to tanks by then with what he got investing practicaly nothing butnothing can stop me from trying beside real life.
