Free Tenaril move for expansion

I hope that this does NOT happen.

I feel that Tenaril in general is a bad idea. People are already using it multiple times by creating a new account, using it, and then abandoning the account. Using it once to move your first city out of the newbie ring is one thing, but this is already being used to change the map layout. Lets leave tenaril limited, and if anything limit it even more.

A side note, tenaril in general would not be bad if it couldn't terraform. I.e. if it acted just like exodus except without the research being needed.

But tenaril for the purpose of moving to BL is a REALLY bad thing. Let people have to build on BL, and let's not bring all the problems that Elgea has into BL before it even starts. If that encourages players that have built up a huge amount of power in Elgea to remain there, so be it. That is their choice. If they don't like that, then they can move with the exact same limits that everyone else has.

So why not make it so you can only tenaril to Elgea.. it would be easy to implement..  no one would get any advantage or special treatment whether a Vet or Newbie.

Newbie's would still have the advantage in BL in that they can use settlers and set up multiple cities without crippling exodus times.

Limiting Teneril is way more acceptable than giving out new ones.

Corwin, that is an interesting idea. I like the direction you took it in but in regards to TBL, it would give established players a distinct advantage over newbs. Just wanted to point out the obvious here.

Just to elaborate a bit on the idea, I would think that a teleport spell, cast by ones own mages should have a chance of failure. Perhaps varying levels of failure. For instance, loosing a percent of the troops/diplo units altogether or perhaps ending up somewhere else entirely, maybe even splitting the group? It might be "fun" to have to send a small army to "rescue" a commander-less group of soldiers 100 squares in the opposite direction from the intended target.

Anyway, I like the idea. Be sure to post it as a separate thread, here in Suggestions.

You can say that about almost anything.  E.g. Having to research stuff is unfair because it gives vets an advantage over new people.

It's not always bad thing to give people who have been in game a long time some nice things...
