[The Panther]

Hey Napolean!

We are currently doing a 5 on 5 team game. And it amazingly fun. It is surprising how well it works. Of course, you can't use the ingame diplomacy for this. AIM, MSN, email is essential for proper team coordination.

We had a neutral third party randomly assign races and also assign starting positions in Groups. Read the Panthenon thread on the forum about it.

So far, on turn 12, we have had 2 capitol seiges and two pretenders gods already dead. Invasions are happenning everywhere. provinces are changing hands right and left. It is truly amazing.

So I have to disagree that doing teams is too hard. Up until we tried this new thing, that was the accepted wisom. But not anymore. A new style game has arrived!
