good idea.. what do you think, TheAmbassador?

Although this has 0.01% chance of implementation I think only fleets -> armies should be allowed. A platoon can abandon there ship and walk on land but they can not conjure one out of thin air to sail on to.

i feel like that is a good idea and i think it should be a option in the new game creator if possible

I agree it's a good suggestion Tadar, my only concern is whether it throws the balance out that we were trying to achieve. You might recall I suggested when we were planning the variant the idea of players choosing the nature of their builds. You were a little reluctant on the idea. How would this subtle variation be much different?

I also like b2c's logic, but don't know how possible this is technically.

Looking at the stats it warms my heart to see England and the Norwegians now getting quite a few wins and a good many draws. Normans are still leading the stats but the difference is no where near as large as it was in the early days.

yap, Normans are in trouble now..

re: army --> fleet well, men in the Norwegian forests can cut trees and build ships, can't they?

I'm still 200% convinced that in this map the starting positions cannot be chosen freely, otherwise some powers would get enormous advantage from this rule, and we'd lose some of the effects we wanted to create.
that said, we have to assess how much transforming units could affect the game-play in this variant

yeah norway is catching up last 3 games i was in had norway soloing

is it now been implemented or no?

nope
