WE ARE SPARTA!
Modified Set-up
First I will explain why I think a modified set-up is necessary. Following is an analysis of the 18 games I’d played up to the point of modifying the set-up.
8 games finished with the ‘Game Turn 3’ rule with Sparta surrendering all 8 times. There was not a single ‘Game Turn 3’ surrender by Athens. The other 10 games finished with ‘Bellicosity 0’ surrenders. Sparta surrendered 7 times and Athens just 3. The reason for such one-sided results is Athens is controlled by the player in turn 1 and due to the way bellicosity normally pans out, the player ends up with a good probability of controlling Athens in turn 2 as well. As an example, in all 8 ’Game Turn 3’ results above, Athens was controlled by the player in both the 1st and 2nd turn!
