Flick suggested just using smaller maps and buffering the edges, but I think people would be upset at having to play on a postage stamp. I want a short game map to be the default and only subscribers can change map options... I might end up trying to rewrite the engine to handle 2x2 and 3x3 spaces. That could suck.
Anywho, this is Flick destroying me in a 2000 point game. He had a nice distribution of forts. I had the cards to take them out, but I always seemed to jump right over them. I almost won. I was almost to the castle with forts of level 3, 6 and 8. Unfortunately for me, Flick just happened to draw a nice offensive card in time to take out my level 8 fort. I passed the castle without enough points. This picture is of Flick right as he is about to take over my level 6 fort. I could not decrease his points enough before he reached the castle.
