Thats basically what i had in mind for the scouts. And make the generic mages level 5 priests so they can hold back much more massive dominions with blood sacrifices and priestly power.
I didnt know you could mod the number of allowable globals... i've never really been interested in it enough to look for it though so thats probably why.
I definetly like the idea of billing it as a sort of CNN thing... and i like the idea of doing it all as it happens (more or less) because that and the response on the board would (i think) help to keep the chroniclers focused on their task and interested in it.
Well if there's actually enough interest in the idea to get a game going i'll work on it after the 4th... have big weekend plans for this weekend
The way i figure, eyes of god allows you to see where borders are fluctuating or sieges are occuring, which allows you to dispatch your reporters to the scene to see whats going on.
