THE GREAT EB RACE!

Not really, I never Blitz, but I have considered taking the map as Sweboz just for fun. But it would not be Blitzing. I am not even good at it. I want to lure Fluvius to try Sweboz cause I like him and I think he will enjoy it, and I want to see hos fast he can Blitz the map with them as he is good at that sort of thing.

There was someone stationed in Angola half a year ago who had done it even faster than Fluvius. That must be beaten.

Can I bet, that Macilrille loses his bet?

My best bet is some Saka player will win, since (1) they're the easiest faction to deploy all cavalry armies, (2) they can quite easily retrain their units at the other side of the map, (3) they perform well in all kinds of climates (I don't want to control Cidainh or iberian skirmishers against let's say an hellenic or a nomad faction), (4) it's quite easy to start attacking from the very start of the game. Sadly, I don't have the time to endeavour in such an undertaking.

A pretty important question:
If the Saka need to reach Cassemorg (which is across some waters), will one have to learn them how to swim? I don't think the Saka can build ships...

Aha! You have noticed the great problem for the Saka players, yes they will have to rely on some very large bribes and a lot of spies if they are to make it across the drink.

I am going to guess that there is general lack of interest in this idea then? If so Ludens can you close this thread if nobody responds in the next few days, please.

I would take part (time isn't an issue now; I'm done with high school!) if I had the slightest clue how to blitz in EB.

I don't.

Are most people coming into exam period now too? Maybe that explains the interest, or lack there of. I would give this ago in a month-ish time, atm unfortunately it's all exam study and final assignment submissions time.

I'd love to do it, especially with the Saba, but I don't have the kind of constant internet access at this time that would be needed to really "compete" with others online.
