2) For the 67 2950 games reported, neither the
Northmen nor Dwarves ever finished in first place.
thats a surprise. Northmen Inc (with emissaries at 40,
and a neutral that normally goes free) isn't that bad
a nation.
and the dwarves are tucked behind him, so I'm even
more surprised at that.
I assume the northmen don't win since
a) mordor is close (and the DS cav can really hurt),
and
b) he gives a decent amount of money to his side
(which wreaks his ecomonic base)
No idea on the dwarves never finishing first. Safe
capital, a few hill/rough just for him. I would have
expected some victories to go his way.
And since i'm not the one doing the work (sorry
jeremy) ... do you plan to give seperate results for
neutrals based on what side they are ?
it might be interesting if khand east had won the game
6 times when they went DS, but never as a free.
thanks for all the hard work.

Climate and the neutrals. 2950 economies are tiny; the NE positions
are truly dire in the winter. The Dwarves also have poor emissaries
and their scattered holdings require skill (e.g. many dwarf players
try to use their western armies for military purposes, which they are
useless for, instead of posting camps.) I managed to run them up to #2 with heroic effort in game 100.
The Khand are an automatic dark servant position, and they have
nothing better to do than hit the Northmen. They can usually take out
*both* the Rhun and Northmen. The dwarves frequently don't help
because they are cash-strapped. And the Rhun go dark fairly
frequently, which is fatal to the NM.
Similar comments apply to the hapless Silvan position, #1 on the list
of free nations that go broke.
cheers,
