I might use some wrong names in this post. This is because i play the german version and did'nt lurk enough to know all the english names yet.We have just finished a 4 game marathon with 2 players. Two of those were won mostly because of the huge change in power and board position the (mostly) free, damaged stronghold provides. In the other two games no lost city was drawn.
I would really apprecite if someone has suggestions how to counter or play around this card in a two player game. I think the card is fine with more players.
Some solutions i came up with after two one really one sided games due to this card (i won one them):
The simple solution: Ban the card from two player games. There are still enough powerfull tacitcs left to (hopefully) not shift the balance too uch in favor of influence.
The more complex solution: The lost city spawns a new city from the unused cities. This is still a huge benefit, but it is harder and slower to gain anything from the card.
