I play in 10 cities. Nine of them a fellowships, one is independently in a language I don’t know so I would keep it independent.
When I decided to go this route I was aware that I would not have the tournament, Fellowship Adventures or the Spire benefits for being in a fellowship. It is nice to not to feel the need to be competive in one of my worlds, However, I feel the events have been unbalanced for this environment, but clearly something I should be allowed to fully participate. They are not. The requirements for encounters and relics in this playing environment have resulted in a faster growth in provinces, ensuring penalties. I am currently completing the last technology in Orcs with enough provinces completed for all of Wood elves with four left over.
Yes, It is easy to make a fellowship of one. But that is not really a good solution as progress in the tournament is very limited when playing alone With goals that are unrealistic. Also, the incentive as an individual to go beyond the Gateway in the Spire is greatly minimized in solo environment as the rewards vs what is surrendered is not balanced no crafting bonuses are given for your extra effort.
it seems to me that you need to develop a separate task thread for those playing independently. An independent version of Fellowship Adventures should also be considered. I played it in the past as a solo fellowship and managed to pull the flag in the first two stages. It is a great individual challenge.
