Interesting that you bring up Asgard as one of your worst positions...It
made me think of something I have been wondering...Is the Hyborian
Kingdoms (Northwestern part of map) generally more difficult to play due
to the multitude of neighbors there are? It would seem that they might
be, since many of the Kingdoms have quite a few borders they have to
defend from other Player Kingdom's...

: 2 Darfar:  They usually disappear pretty quickly.  Their troops really are
: just the pansies of the south.  They hate everyone in the area, and
: everyone in the area hates them.  Really a horrible position to play.

hehehe, I'll keep that in mind...With the luck I'm having these days,
this will be my pot-luck Kingdom...

: 1 Border Kingdom:  Their troops aren't a match for anything in the area,
: and they are a target of several of the toughest kingdoms in the area.
: They don't start with much of a court either.  Their only "ally" for miles

:  Really, the worst, or should I say, most challenging, position in the
: game.

I would've figured this might be a tough one to play... A small Kingdom
surroundedd by large, and presumably tough, neighbors... Does the Border
Kingdom even stand a chance?
