So I'm prepping to start my first game of FF as a hotseat with my friend who has been badgering me since his first game of FFH2 that we had to try a team game as Hyborem and Basium allied. So we were both delighted to learn that the custom options here allows you to start a game as either, making setting up this ideal situation far simpler than we previously thought.
So my questions relate to how the mechanics of infernals and mercurians work when starting the game as them.
What do you gain access to once establishing yourself with their particular normal entrance to the world requirements like Infernal Pact?
Can other civilizations beat the mercurians to the Mercurian Gate? If so, what occurs? If not, does this mean mercurians must build the gate themselves and can take their time doing it?
Is there any problems I haven't foreseen that would prevent this type of custom game hotseat with infernals and mercurians on a team against other AI teams of 2?
Hope to hear from the FF veterans so I can learn from your experience and save time and possible frustration on our part.
