>- Ice King, 4 votes, 3.42%

*** Um why did 4 votes get put for this? Seriously interested in why players think it's a good position to have new players in. Maybe I have it wrong but I thought that many think this is a deadly nation to give - ie dead for the player playing it if they get it wrong.

I wouldn't recomend it because of the lack of a back up capital.. but it
offers Armies, Mages, and Agents to allow them to gain exp in all areas

I didn't vote in the poll but I'd suggest 2 reasons:
1) It's only deadly in the first few turns. If a player is guided through the chess openings, and more importantly backed up by the correct moves of his allies, the crisis soon passes.
2) It will be regarded as one of the most expendable nations, so a cynical voter might well put the newbie here, on the grounds that least damage is done if this nation is screwed up.

*** Yes I agree that is fine if they can get through these turns. But it's a big flash point for new players and needs a steep learning curve to not mess up and die from 1) Money, losing 3123 2) losing capital. Not to mention one the 2 DS (and 3 nations) that can name agents @40. Ouch.
