    Default THE GREAT EB RACE!

    Gentlemen!
    I propose a race that will test the nerve and skills of every Baktrian, Saka, Casse and Lusotannan player there is!

    I will offer the princely sum of 5 balloons to the first player who can make it from one side of the map to the other, with a string of colonies connecting their empire. What I am not looking for is people who can just blitz the AI (we have all seen the campaign map fully conquered before) or players who mod the map to give them an early advantage.

    Casse players: You must endevour to reach Sai Yavuga.
    Saka players: If you think you are up to the challenge you must reach Cassemorg (bonus points if you can reach Erain)
    Baktrians: Think your man enough to land in Lusitania?
    Lusitanians: Sind is your final target.

    I understand it is difficult to moderate such a race and that people are likely to simply submit screenshots of previous empires but in the name of sport could I ask people to play fair. I suggest M/M difficulty setting to level the playing field.

    Gentleman! Start your cavalry!


    P.S. Apologies if there are female EB players who have been offended by the reccurring use of "gentlemen".

    That would require people to have time. I do not.

    Can I place bets though?

    Yes I know this plan has a lot of rough edges to it but I think it could be fun. I guess you would just have to rely on good sportsmanship.

    I never considered the idea of placing bets. But i see no problem with it.
