a question about jotnar

[langrenly]

RFE is a wonderful mod, I like it. but today, I choose jotnar, and notice surprisingly that jotnar can exploit 3 plots around city, instead of only 1 plots in FF.

I feel very confusing. Why did it happen? Jotnar is a advantage race oringinally. This change make jotnar become stronger, and maybe disturb the balance in RFE, isn't it? Perhaps it is only a slip of the pen?

I'm not overly familiar with the Jotnar, but I think they are now limited in their total number of cities and their cities grow more slowly than other civilizations. I think I remember seeing a couple of posts in another thread addressing this issue. I'll see if I can find those.

The Jotnar in Rife are completely different from the Jotnar in WM (and FF I guess), rather than having many 1 radius cities which are capped at 10 population they can now work in a 3 tile radius around their cities and their traditions civic reduces the maintenance for distance to capital significantly (100% ?). On the other hand they require 3 food to grow and they got a huge penalty on number of cities maintenance (400%).

They seem crazy overpowered even with the maintenance penalty. I usually can easily keep my neighbors down to one city for the first 100 turns or so. Giving me a huge advantage with just two or three cities.

IIRC, they were meant to have a slight overaul in next version or a further one (1.4 or 1.7... or whatever)
