I think they made this a lot better than the previous game.  I figure
  that I am going to be in 2 games  at a time anyhow, so why not have it
   my games last more than ten turns, in stead of dropping because someone
   didn't do the right opening move and our side is now getting crunched.

The old game just had to much in the begining.
      If we had all these big
 pop centers to start, the game would reduce to who can raise the most armies
 the quickest.  Having only one place (or two) to raise frees up your other
 characters and lets you do things you just couldn't afford to do.  In other
 words, while you build up your nation, your not only building more pop centers
 and raising armies, but strengthening your characters as well.

It still wont be easy.  Everyone will have armies at thier MT's, and
    I am sure once an agent shows up, all those emmisaries will scatter.
