actually, jomon is the only possible teamate for at least one other nation too, which is why i am advocating strongly for the disallowing of that one other nation *cough* Hinnom *cough* *cough*

Zeldor, we can already see how at least half the current people/teams claiming nations are going for the very powerful teamed with a very underpowerd. It is like I said, due to the plasticity of gold/gems and power, there isn't a whole lot of disadvantage to forcing very powerful nations to team with underpowered ones. Unless we disallow inter-team trading, there is simply no way to find a bright line where a 'tactic' becomes an 'abuse'. Starting nations at opposite sides helps alleviate the problem, but there is no possible way to police the abuse of the team system where one nation is just the ***** of the other; we simply can't define where the inter-team cooperation and trading becomes one just being the other's *****.

DrP:

I am more and more inclined towards banning Niefel as they are really overpowered. Even with Jomon as teammate. And as people here are supporting that opinion I may just oficially do it.

Omnirizon:

Nah, you start next to each other. One near caves, one near plains, so pretty much it is every nation fighting. But one has to expand into caves and fight there and other into plains. Theoretically you can make some other ways, but then other nations gets stuck with just 4-6 provs and won't be able to really help.

I wanna join too if there's still room.

No teammate or nation preferences, anyone want to team up with harmless "less-than-10-actual-dom3-games" player? *blinkblink*

Lets dance.

May I make the first claim of nations?
Team: WingedDog & Pretorian
Nations: Yomi (3) & LA Caelum (5) with total of 8 points

I'll post the other two picks later.

I'll play in one team with this doggy ...sorry, winged doggy :))

You think Niefel is more overpowered than Hinnom ? Both are early game monsters, but Hinnom is just better in the later parts of the game.

Anyway it seems that ONLY one of these two nations will be in the game, so its probably oki. As to this "feeding" the stronger nation strategy, it seems really dull and I doubt it will be done.

Look at the first page - Hinnom is already banned.

Evilhomer:

Nah, I think Hinnom is stronger than Niefel, but both of them are way overpowered, even when compared to nations like Lanka. And team game makes them even stronger as it is easy to get an ally that will just work for them, not with them.

WingedDog:

Send nation choices via PM :)

I am teamed up with atul now zeldor. Will there be any benefits for picking teams with less than 10 p total, if so, what will that be ?

Evilhomer:

There may be some, hard to say what as I'd have to check what is really possible. Probably easiest to add would be some inceased pop or gold making site next to capitol. But it should rather be granted to people that have 2+ free points or are left with some bad nation choices [but that shouldn't happen]. I'd prefer [as I'm lazy :)] that everyone just makes 9-10 point teams and there is no need for any bonuses. Ratings are not 100% accurate anyway, you could easily argue that said nation should be +1 or -1.
