Re: MP game; very hard research. Any takers?
Indeed, you are correct Deccan; nobody wants to take the Fiery Nation of Abysia, or the Ulm enclave of the North.
- Wait some more. Or wait a lot more.
- Turn the nations in question to the AI. The main problem is that it will help their respective neighbours.
- Leave these nations to one of the players in the game, and either give information about them or make one turn fully available to all for information purposes. Alternatively, or in addition, the nation(s) concerned would go AI as soon as a war with a genuine human player is started, to prevent said player from getting intelligence about the attacking player.
If the third option is chosen, someone else may be needed for Abysia, as they are not so far away from myself (I believe they are next to my own neighbour, Marignon). Ulm is almost as far away from me as you can get (they are in the north-west), so I can probably keep them and build them up to make them harder to conquer by their own neighbour. I would turn them AI once someone wants to move against them if we went with this plan.
Suggestions, opinions, comments and insults welcome. Well, perhaps not insults, but you get the idea.
(Just noticed my typo. I called Deccan Duncan. Hmm, I guess I have been reading Dune too much, or something.)
