I remember when we had Squid Leaders.
the first multi player game i ever played, i was playing with my brother and a friend. he always liked playing melee fighters in any game we ever played together, so he naturally chose the doviello on our dry run. i was svarts and my bro was ljos. we all conquered our respective continents, and my friend was assured of his victory over my bro and me since his standing army was so vast.....then i showed up with my 4 archmages throwing like 12 meteors a turn from the safety of the boats. after razing uber-city number 7 he conceded defeat and he hasn't played with me since. "magic is too over-powered in that game!" he says, and he doesn't believe me when i tell him it's balanced now. 
Typical hack and slasher!

Hey Tassy, please elaborate!
Non-pangea games, under human usage, is really a contest called 'King of the Octo Overlords'.
It is not a game of navies, catapults, assasins, archmages, but instead is a game of Stygian Guards and Ritualists.
The first half of the game is to conquer your own landmass using conventional means, and if you specialize in navies like the Lanun do, you can spread out to other continents as well. Usually its best to run ROK or FOL during this time.
The second half is switch to OO, and build giant stacks of Stygian guards, with 2-5 cultists each, and send them on their merry way.
The superabundance of trees on the Erebus mapscript makes FOL-> OO the optimal choice.
Of course, if ye are able to minimize your rival's usage of other religions, you might get a sneaky religious victory.
....
// it would however be fun an interesting to play an Islands and/or Continents game without the OO and Lanun, OR without the OO and worldspells. If its w/o OO and worldspells, then the Lanun can FINALLY make usage of their boarding promo. I would like that alot ^_^
(also Lanun wordspell tends to cause OOS or game crashes for most participants, at least in this one game I heard about/joined in after the crash as an AI)

I've played several island games because I got tired of just straight-forward warfare. It was really fun and I had the worldspells turned off because I had the Illians and Lanun in the game. I also outlawed the OO and just watched them go. Lanun still did good..

This thread deserves a sticky.
But back to the point at hand. I'm actually playing an island game as the Lanun with OO right now. I'm at turn 291 with a self-restriction to stay on the coasts. Noble difficulty. I'm only...42 points higher than Tebryn who is 4th out of 9. Take from this what you will.
