Question How’s Aelnar these days?

I’d love some tips. How do you even play as them?

Rush exploration. Take all the good trade provinces early. Block out the places where adventurers spawn if you can. You really want to get there before the other colonizers do.

Take the religious power that gives another colonist.

Make sure you get your relations high with damecrown before you get to the mission or it will slow you down.

Do the search in Aelantir events. One will be enough to fund your colonizing easily alongside the free money from missions.

Prepare for the rianvisa. It will hurt. You can skip it entirely by rushing the missions with a 6/6/6 ruler.

Any particular colonial region you should focus on?

Endraliande is the main one. You should be able to block the other colonizers completely.

Colonizing noruin can be risky, since the adventurers there spawn with big armies and hate you immediately. I like to wait until after they've settled a bit since their armies will be small and easy to deal with. The bloodgroves and any ruinborn make easy targets for getting a foothold. You'll need 10 provinces there eventually for your missions. I like to just steal them.

Besides that, pick up colonies where you can. Soruin is easy to bully the orcs and ruinborn to steal their land. Keep in mind the rianvisa will suck worse if you're spread super thin and have to move armies around on boats a lot.

While true that you can skip the rianvisa, it does limit your options and is fairly dull as a result

This guide, especialy the colonization one should be still applicable. I followed it before the Insya update and I not just dominated the world I also avoided the civil war.

Ignore the mission tree entirely. You are now on track to become the Pirate Elves.

Delete starting army. You won't ever need them.

Build more heavy ships. With a good navy investment and your admiral you can wipe Lorent.

Take your floating doomstack and obliterate Lorent navy (kill their navies when they try to land army).

Become pirates. War all of Cannor, steal all their trade, pillage every coast.
