In reply to this post by Al Your map is fantastic.... I have played Triple A of and on for years now.... but never posted

I liked this map enough to come out of lurking. :)



As for the balance issue... well I looked at the map and thought the Wildings had it pretty easy....

I played it against all the other houses using More N Able AI and won.

so I decided to run simulations with everyone using more n able AI

4 runs... 2 wins for the Wildings 1 for Targaryen and 1 for Tyrell

Targaryen always won in Essos although it is close to balanced.

Tyrell always won in South Westros

The Wildings always walked over Stark like they were not even there.

Pyke was always annoying to the end but nothing more [they are hard to attack not worth much].



Suggestions. Give Stark a little more.

Weaken Targaryen a little [not much]

Weaken Tyrell a little.

Those through the middle need quite a boost... ie Lannister, Tully, Arryn, Baratheon...

The do a lot of fighting amongst themselves which saps their starting units that Tyrell just walks over them.



Of Course in an all human player game it would be very different.

Everyone would/should leave Stark alone to deal with the Wildings initial units and only then start to raid them.

Those through the middle should/would ally to kill Tyrell before they try to kill one another.



But the essence of balance is to make so such alliances are not "no brainer" do this or you will simply die decisions.



I do plan to run more all AI sims but... since in all 4 runs its really turned into a 3 player game [Wild/Tyr/Targ] it seemed to be worth mentioning.
