Funny The Wise One again gets Zamora, this time by default.

Why no love for Zamora, people?  Let's start with a coastal major city.  Then it has no rival major city in the sea, unlike the other coastal major cities.  Then it has only three neighbors, two without major cities, and Krynn, which only has 2 coastal areas in The Sorrows.  It has every terrain type except marsh, and marsh is available many areas right across the border if needed for a companion - not like you have to invade and recruit from a PC.   It pretty much screams for a couple kingdoms.  Anyway, I will predict by the time we have more than a handful of games complete, Zamora will have at least its share of game winners.

Not a big fan of having my region cut in half by a sea. Also, I think eventually we will find that the smaller Regions struggle to win. I would not draw many conclusions from the first few games but I think time will prove this out.

I don't think, as The Wise One said in the last draft, that it's the worst region. I think it's actually quite an interesting bit of real estate. It would be a good base for a Pirate, though I still think the Crown Islands is a bit better for them. It might be okay for the Nomad, too, though the water in the way might be a problem. I think Underworld or a magic kingdom is also a good fit for it. It's certainly one of the regions that's on my 'want to play' list because it's so different. Also a great choice for Atlantians.

Zamora ok for one of the sea nations or magic nation. But Atlantis is in a pretty good spot from sword coast to wreck the Zamora position. Gain control of sea. Put a few emissaries in Zamora city to slow down getting it. Once you gain region and control of sea you have tactical advantage because you can strike anywhere without too much retaliation. The Zamora player

[Rytek]

Is split in half. I was going to pick it the pirates. But I didn't want to pic Zamora without seeing what sword coast was getting.

[Rytek]

It needs a better starting bonus than an elite ship for it to be more attractive.
