World War

[CUnknown]

Due to my impending doom in InvisSwarm4, I am tossing around the idea of hosting another game. I guess I'm in the mood for some beat-down, because I'm thinking about a team game (2 teams), no diplomacy, 9 province start, let's get it on style.

Sound good to anyone else?

The conditions would be something like the following:

9 province start
difficult research
50 magic sites
2 teams of 3-7 players each
Map size depending on # of players

pbem or server?

[Cainehill]

No diplomacy? Can't talk to your allies?

[DrPraetorious]

Sounds interesting.

[jeffr]

Yeah, sounds cool. Anyone need a Pangean looney? (although I can make a very nice neighbor as well)

[GriffinOfBuerrig]

What about Starting positions? Do you want to mod them?

Do you really think Orania is a good idea, maybee Cradle of dominion?

[DrPraetorious]

I want to be Jotunheim, Machaka or Pythium (whichever of the three is last to be claimed.)

I think that assignment to teams should be random - choose (or alter) a map to have start locations = number of players, and assign each start location to one team or another.

if its server im in as caelum, pbem is just more confusing 2 me

[CUnknown]

Server, definitely.

As far as modding starting positions, I'm not sure. I can see an advantage to that, but a) I am lazy, and b) I think that random positions would be fun, too. Scouting would be more important.

If we play on a wrap-a-round map, I think random start locations might not be so bad.

caelum shall be mine! mwahahahaha (if someone really wants caelum i may be willing to change)
