IN REVIEW: Regions

[Ruddertail]

Regions Guide

Well, you’re starting out. You’ve got everything filled out, your race picked, and then you come to regions. Regions are separate “areas� in the game. You have to undertake the special mission if you want to attack someone from a different region, in addition, they have advantages/disadvantages. So, let’s go over the regions.

Northlands:

The Northlands have an + 15% bonus to industry. Very good if you plan on any strat that involves barracks. There are no negatives, so you shouldn’t hesitate if you think the + 15% could benefit your strat.

Mossflower:

Mossflower has no bonuses or negatives. It’s basically neutral. If you aren’t running either a barrack based strat or a hawk strat, then this is a good place to go. Having no bonuses, it will also tend to have fewer people. It’s the default, however, so there are always going to be some.

Southsward:

Southsward is where you want to go for hawking. It has a + 20% to Runes. A – 5% to industry, but a hawker shouldn’t care.

Location Hiding:

Location hiding is not a region, but a strategy that involves going to a region that has few people in it, in order to avoid attacks from those unable to prepare hawks. Due to the relative ease of preparing hawks, however, it is generally not very effective. Still, it might keep a few people off your back…



Well, what do you think?

Has everything I could think of... Not much more you could say.

"Location hiding" originated as a RWL term, btw...

[Ruddertail]

You want us to make up another term, or is that just an observation?

[The Beatles]

Decide for yourself, I guess.

I thought it had, at first, but it doesn't. It cancels out, both have 15% total bonuses.

I'm pretty sure Ruddertail's right.
