I like to play 2p Runewars more than 3p. One important (for me) home-rule - we play with 5 map tiles instead of 4.
Sounds like a good house rule, though there is something challenging about the claustrophobic 2p standard map size.
Thank you. The background of this home rule are possible smaller maps comming with the tiles from BoW. A good tactic/event at the start (reinforcements/gaining neutrals hex etc) and the opponent has no time to prepare. Example - my opponent managed to attack me with 3 hex units at the beginn of the second year.
Smaller maps are also vulnerable to city destruction/desolation. Destroy the only terrain providing 2+ food at the enemys side and in many cases the opponent will give up.
