We Shall See - I'm sure no one will be shocked to hear that I actually am very keen on adding merhoburgs...

As long as we get a flying fish nation too...

Would you settle for flying fish hoburgs?

As long as their commanders start each battle guarded by a dozen flying fish...

(Yo dawg, I heard you like flying fish)

So... can we get a hoburg-only era? 

[E. Albright]

That's actually trivial to arrange. You just take NG and set #basechance in data/race/hoburg.txt to 10000 or so, and every primary race will be hoburgs. Everyone needs to make the same changes for seeds to be compatible, but it's incredibly simple to do.

That...might actually be pretty fun XD

[E. Albright]

...in the grim darkness of the far past, there are only hoburgs?

[BFEL]

That would be the most ridiculous game. I mean it would take like 12 attempts to take every indy province. And then everyone just recruits indies forever.

[E. Albright]

You'd think that. Speaking as someone who tested the current hoburg nation generation with 10-40 hoburg nations at once, you'd definitely be wrong, but you would think that. They have plenty of weaknesses, but they have their strengths too...

[EuchreJack]

From what I can tell, generally best to use Hoburgs in the exact opposite way that one would use Giants.  Instead of sending less to take indy provinces, send more, and let the Hoburg swarm destroy one's foes.

[E. Albright]

...it's a lot like locusts that way...

[Il Palazzo]

Can we please pretty please start a hoburg-only hashed nationgen game? I'm so hyped.

[EuchreJack]

As much as I would be tempted to face off against Il Palazzo, I have absolutely no interest in a hoburg-only game.

Below spoilered to spare E. Albright's feelings:

In fact, I am most tempted to use E. Albright's advice on hoburgs to remove them from my nation gens entirely.

If we are doing a all hoburg nation gen then sign me up. Because who doesn't love hoburgs?

The man above your post, apparently. What a weirdo!

I think the word you were looking for is "monster".
