A most humble suggestion:
Implement the Story Mode.  Hoburgs are famous for getting caught up in stories, so it makes sense thematically.

I thought they were famous for sucking and dying?

that too

[bulborbish]

Story Mode means that demons can rise from the earth to slay us all, right? I second the notion.

[EuchreJack]

I don't know where everyone else is, but I've finished designing my pretender.

[IWishIWereSarah]

Same here. Pretender is basically designed, so I'm good to go.
About that, opinion on maps (Sharivar!) & thrones ?

[EuchreJack]

I will rule supreme without worrying about such petty things!

AKA I don't care.

[Boksi]

I haven't decided how big a bless I want, personally. Do I go with a plain N9 bless? Tank my scales for E9N9? Pick something in between, or maybe even something completely different?

Obviously you should go S9B9

Also, pretender designed now.

Tank your scales for a large bless.  You either win by turn 20 or surrender to the inevitable.  Late game is for losers anyways.   

[E. Albright]

All right. So. Executive decision? Shahrivar. 11/20 thrones (which is worse for H1/H2 nations, yes, especially since the pond for bishopfish spawning is all in one place). Story mode? Uh, sure. The people who suggested it will rue the day, but so will the rest of us.

Game will be up by tonight. Probably sooner.

Quadbless hoburgs are best hoburgs. I suggest an imprisoned W9E9D9N9 demilich with 6 candles.

I wish I knew what that meant, what with having a H1 nation and all.

[E. Albright]

You need an H3 or pretender to claim thrones, so... if your nation can't recruit H3s, that means you can either traipse around the map with pretender and prophet claiming thrones (assuming your pretender can traipse), you can use artifacts to boost H2s (or H1s if you're REALLY ambitious) up to H3, or you can summon H3s. Since we're stuck with little beyond generic summons, that means (short of wishing), you can either summon Bishop Fish (which requires you taking a dip) or construct Juggernauts and Divine Name them (which frankly is very little short of wishing). Hence, even if the thrones-to-win ratio is constant, more thrones will be significantly harder to blitz, but will also generally favor nations with recruitable H3s.

[Il Palazzo]

Maybe keep the throne ratio as it is, but make them all level 3 (or 2, if there's not enough lvl 3s). This will make it pretty much impossible to blitz, due to better garrisons, and jibe well with the general 'oh-my-god-who-ever-thought-this-was-a-good-idea' theme.

[IWishIWereSarah]

Nah, they're better as lvl1 : it means we won't have as many "recruit a uber mage" thrones.
Throne provinces are meant to be conquered (and fortified), after all

[E. Albright]

There can only be 15 non-lvl-1 thrones, and I'd agree with IWIWS that the blitzing avoidance would be more concerned with grabbing them from players rather than from indies. Although if we set indie province strength to 9 and maxed level 2 + 3 we'd certainly all be thinking it was a bad idea - provinces with 100 Watchers or Spring Hawks do tend to inspire those emotions... :p
