Howdy,

W/ Epic pacing in 5 turns on a large map, I went to a Zone of control from 2 to 5 squares from center in 2 TURNS!.  In 11 turns I was at 6 ZOC from center!?  How does this work? Is it every 5 citizens gives you another  1 ZOC out?   How can you adventure when all the starting cities are 10 ZOC out  in 20 turns and you still haven't researched some good gear to adventure with?  You end up being placed next to a AI and your boarders are touching. In mid-game there is no more adventuring because all cities touch boarders so there is not more hunting down monsters it moping up in your ZOC.   There has to be a limit to boarders make it 6 squares out from center, you can build everything in the game with that size for a city, something needs to change.

Is this what E:FE set up to have also?  Can we rethink pacing to include everything slower ie... building construction and unit formations, and can Border growth please be looked rethought to scale with pacing and limited.

This is a 4X with adventure. Please don't limit the adventuring so soon in the game because of AI starting placement and wildly expanding ZOC.

Thanks,
