Ok this a (bad) idea. We have continents, and they're generally kind of there.
But for an arbitrary line on a map, they do seem to have quite a large effect. Whole tribes will set their recruitment policy on "K44 only!", tribes tend to ignore the rest of the world, and just war off against tribes in their K. It doesn't matter that Tribe X is taking over the 3 Ks to your NE/N/NW because as long as you're warring the fairly weak tribe who happens to be in YOUR K, they can't bother you.
The fact is Diplomacy, Recruitment and general tactics seem to revolve around K-based ideology, StaMin has been flamed for having members outside of our K, despite the fact that even though 54 and 55 aren't the same number, that doesn't impact on individual player skill.
So what i'm asking, is, what if we had a world without Continents?
(that is to say ones drawn on the map, I guess 3rd parties might create maps with artificial continents)
Well, it'd be different.
It'd end this Continent-Mentality and force people to contemplate the "bigger picture".
So what do you guys think, would the removal of continents affect the game in any interesting or meaningful way?
