I really think your group might have played with a lot of errors. There is no way you can have an army of 16 in a hex. As the guy above mentioned, the max limit a hex can hold is 8. During winter, you destroy units till it is equal to your food value.
I think that's what he's saying. You can't have 16 sitting in a hex, but if you attack with 16, you'll have to retreat whatever is in excess of 8 afterwards, and those retreating units will all be routed, meaning that the other player could possibly counterattack those routed units and wipe them out pretty easily. Committing too many units to a battle may help you win that specific battle, but it will also leave you vulnerable afterwards.
As for location, the first player puts out all the possible starting hexes, and the last player has the first pick of location. So if he picks out 1 good location and 2 bad locations, tough luck, the last player would pick the better one.
The 2nd player is the first one to choose starting location, not the last player. IE, 1st player places the home realm tokens, then 2nd player picks first, and it goes clockwise.
PS: How can you say "too little strategy" when dice are so random compared to card draw? ;p
That's what he said; he said with dice, he wouldn't enjoy it as much because it would have too little strategy.
