Bkeela
Warlord
I've been trying to get back into Beyond the Sword, but continually feel frustrated facing sometimes two or more financial empires in every game.
I feel the game was more balanced with the original and Warlords, but I don't want to give up cool things like corporations.
Despite the financials, I always seem able get the Oracle and Liberalism, which seems a path purposely left for the player to pursue in order to compete. But I'm so sick of always attaining confusianism, and always striving for powerful mounted armies through the slingshot to Nationalism.
I love being left alone on a continent, free to pursue a cultural or space victory in peace, and feel excitement then competing with maybe one financial. But if I share a landmass with many, the tech race is impossible with continual invasions, and then I feel forced into a domination victory.
Anyway, this is just an expression of weariness.
