[Thrawn]

Okay, the bidding thing makes sense to me. We can do that, if that's the route we want.

First, we should pick our era. I like EA, personally. If we went EA, and the 2 vs 2 vs 2 vs 2 approach, we could have four teams setup based on Baalz thematic structure above. Since he picked three nations per theme, that would leave each team of to pick one nation each.

The themes were:

DEMONIC: Lanka, Yomi, Kailissa
VANIR: Vanheim, Helhiem, and Tir Og
BARBARIANS: Mictlan, Ulm, Sauromatia
CIVILIZATION: T'ien Ch'i, Arcoscephale, Ermor
HALF-MEN: C'tis, Pangea, Abyssia
UNDERWATER: R'yleh, Oceana, Atlantis
FROZEN: Niefelhiem, Caelum, Marverni

Can we find four of these themes that seem to be a fair mix?

Would MA be more fair?

Once, we get this locked up, we can decide if we want to bid for the themes, or just random roll them.
