I'm not surprised that Altren and Sunyaku win regularly even when they have a terrain handicap; they are significantly better than most other players. It is in games against evenly matched players where the terrain handicap is an issue.

but in the example posted the player put his first building in an objectively bad place *no matter what the surrounding terrain looks like*... the building should have been placed one closer to the centre, or if he has some strategy that wants to be far away from the middle for some reason, it should be back further towards the corner, but there is NO reason whatsoever to put your first building where it is... then you can get out of the mess with bone fortresses etc.. or aloft/swimming creatures.. a HUGE part of the game is terrain, you should have SOMETHING in your deck that can help you resist "bad" terrain or take advantage of one kind of terrain or another...

emancipate wrote: Altren wrote: alphabetsupes wrote: yeah you don't avoid ANYTHING by placing it where he does in the pic May be he want to be farther from enemy doesn't this mean you should build your first building even further towards the corner from the middle so that it potentially takes them more turns to attack your base?

Well not if I want to put another building that could see the same well, and both be some what hidden.
