              @Black_Elk Fairly certain it was worth it. The dragons on the map are crazy strong. They probably should be toned down a bit with most likely 4-5 movement and a bit less HP. So far I think the map has some cool ideas but is just way too random. The dragon spawn locations essentially decide the game (luckily in this particular one they've been somewhat close to equal as you got the red dragon but I just picked up the blue dragon). All the active neutrals are too random for my taste as well. I think it would be much better if the dragon spawn points were set locations and the neutrals weren't active players. Each dragon could start at a strongly defended neutral lairs located at conflict points between evil/good on the map so players fought for them but had a more even chance at getting them.

                  Losing that dwarven fleet is definitely putting the stall on us. Everywhere I look is a river hehe.

                  Yeah I think for me not fully understanding where new units will enter play remains the biggest cause of confusion. My lack of income/wood has me basically at 1 or 2 units per turn via purchase, so the majority of hitpoints are coming from spawns, but that makes it hard to come up with a coherent attack/defense plan initially. Now I've got a better sense for where the spawns will arrive, but might be too late to push them effectively. I feel like without a strong naval presence its pretty hard for the good guys to take the fight to the enemy, but maybe I spent too much on ships there at the outset and instead should have been trying to hammer away towards the goblins or something? lol

                      Whatever you do, don't start a new game before I get to update Dragon War to a new version with 3 evil player turns followed by 3 good player turns. I think players would feel a huge improvement, especially if playing forum/email.

                      I will have to look at ships and dragons also, and maybe tone them down. 🤔

                      Also I would think that after you finish this map, you both will have a much better understanding of the units, economy and such. I guess it does not feel like you have accomplished you best right now? 😉

                        @Frostion The one other major issue with the map is the amount of randomness in dragon spawns. I think they really should be set locations especially as the AI doesn't understand that it needs to try to defend them when placing them (this is because triggered units are placed after all others).

                        Something you should consider is making some units not cost all 4 types of resources. This will allow more flexibility when purchasing as often times you end up out of one type of resource and then can't spend any of your other resources.

                        Oh one other note on AI behavior, because the AI is TUV driven, it expects nations to have similar value for units. In dragon war the neutral AI nations have very expensive units that are essentially 4-5x the PU cost of player units. This causes the AI to pretty much avoid attacking the players as it sees battles as negative TUV exchanges. If you want the AI to be more aggressive then you could set the "tuv" parameter on neutral units to give them a more reasonable value in comparison to regular player units. If you look through our save game so far, you'll see the AI has almost never attacked anyone so kind of act like mobile blockers but don't pose any real threat.

                          Will get to my turn in a couple hours when I get off work.

                          Right now my main suggestion for the naval game would be to remove the blocking ability for ships. There are several choke points at sea and a real need for transport actions to move units back and forth between the various island strongholds. I don't mind the higher movement rate for ships, but the ships are expensive to produce/replace and I think its a little too easy to put up blocking pickets on the water. The option to pass through hostile sea zones would be good for a map like this, allowing the attacker the decision of whether to engage or ignore an enemy fleet, basically treating naval units here like the subs of other maps.

                          I think the all Evil then all Good turn sequence would be helpful. Its definitely better for PBF play, but even in a live game the turns are fairly quick so I don't think it would be too much. Especially since it takes a while to get through the land grab period at the begining, I think it would be ideal for the pacing.

                                @Black_Elk That was the shortest couple of hours I've ever seen 🙂

                                Non-blocking ships would be interesting but that would probably make amphibious assaults even more OP. I think it would essentially lead to a stack fest in every capital as there would be no way to block the opposing fleet.

                                Yeah, I was guessing you either missed the connection or didn't realize how many units I could transport.

                                  Hehe traffic was so horrid, I decided to stop by my house on the way back to the shop, to fire off a turn. Probably have to stay a bit longer tonight, but least this way I can see the hound dog for a few minutes and make a cup of coffee.

                                  Yeah, I suppose that's true. I'm honestly not so sure what the best approach is. Right now it seems pretty easy to get cut off. Maybe if there was a more expedient way to expand naval production that might do the trick? I suppose Dwarves aren't meant to do much sailing around, but kind of running into the same issue with the Humans. Probably better to bang into the goblins a bit sooner, since they seem to be hording up pretty quicklike now

                                      What about just moving a couple capitals inland? That might be easier.

                                      Thematically it would probably make sense for the Dwarves and Goblins to have their capitals in the mountains somewhere instead of on the coast.

                                      You could just give them a coastal fort so they aren't locked out of the naval game. I think it would give a bit more variety to the factions.

                                      I think for the good humans and the elves fleets make sense. For the evil humans and undead too I suppose. But when I think of dwarves and goblins in fantasy its usually big land battles that come to mind, in the hills or mountains where there are caves and such.
