Small World suggestions

Post by AndyM »

:arrow: Options for 2-player: ban Ghouls and certain combos, such as Merchant + Elves. The game is clearly not meant for 2, but little adjustments help.

:arrow: Expansions please!!!

I highly disagree on those. Those aren't even the most dangerous combos. Leave them be please.

Flying skeletons, beserker skeletons, Flying Sorcerers are all way worse.

I don't think you understand; I stopped playing 2p Small World (Digital) long ago mainly due to Ghouls. It is EXACTLY like playing a 3p game where your 2 opponents decide to only attack you for the whole game.

As for your combos, Flying Sorcerers are a highly randomized combo; it really doesn't matter what Ghouls are paired with (except maybe Merchant because of the low unit count.

Simply put, Ghouls make it an imbalanced 3-player game where 1 counts two races and there is not a lot of ways to counter this. Other combos are merely happenstance that can be chalked up to bad fortune.

I would like to one day play 2p (digitally) again with this one important fix.

I totally agree, in 2P game option to ban ghouls would be very good.
The point is this race is simply imbalanced in case one player choose it as a 1st race, then in round 2 goes in decline and starts playing two races in round 3. It is impossible to beat.
Or, at least to create a game parameter (for 2P game only) to make impossible to choose ghouls as a 1st race.
In games with more players ghouls can be left as it is.

No Ghouls option is a must, this is what everyone who played this game for a while knows.

I fully agree, ghouls T1 is OP and we should have an option to disable it.

People should realise that BGA will not add house rules. Only official rulings can be added.
