Allegiances 2 (Large,Team-Based Game, PLAYING)

[DrPraetorious]

Oh, would people like treasure provinces?

I could put a treasure province in between each pair of teams, at the province equidistant from both the nearest of their two capitals.

This would give everyone something to fight over - I could even put VP in the treasure provinces or something.

[Thrawn]

With the treasure provinces, are you pitting the teams AGAINST each other, Dr. Praetorious??? How very Machiavellian of you.

Sounds fun to me...

[Velusion]

Looks like fun - but when is this scheduled to start?

[Thrawn]

No scheduled start, just trying to fill up with players. I would think next week, though.

[DrPraetorious]

I could switch Atlantis and R'lyeh.

That way, Atlantis, relatively weak in the water, would have the support of an amphibious ally (Agartha), while the other water powers would have to handle their water battles alone.

Alternatively, just pull the water nations from their current assignments and put them in the middle as a tenth Team.

i'm a total noob to domIII - hopefully that doesn't cause my partner any problems ;p

maybe i'll get an easy nation like mictlan

so count me in...

Okay, here are the legendary provinces I drew out of a hat - I have notes on lots more but I only flesh them out when I pick them.
