Conquest: No Cost, No Mercy is impossible as Kraken
As detailed in similar reports, the conquest mission No Cost, No Mercy as Kraken on extreme might actually be impossible. As a map where you start at the center, you have almost no way of building up enough military in time to stop 2 extreme ai opponents. Most of the attempts I've made have resulted in both AI attacking as early as August 800. They seem to have an endless supply of villagers to convert as they stream in, even one by one, they wear down my military extremely fast and there is no way to keep up in villager production against 2 enemy ai.
I believe kraken should have all maps where you start at the center of the map disabled for this clan. As instead of a challenge and strategy it becomes re rolling the map dozens of times and save scumming, and even that is not enough to get even close to having a chance.
I have over 2400 hours in this game, so I don't consider myself a complete noob, but start at center maps for Kraken are very VERY broken.
