How about newbie vs vet game with nerf mods for the vets. Lets see how good they really are.

Actually, this gives me an interesting idea. Maybe a big huge team game with two sides, perhaps themed after the Titans vs the Greek Gods. Of course you might have some thematic problems unless you could make every faction Arcos. Maybe you could toss in Pythium for variety though. I kind of like the great big war with two sides concept though -- it would be different way to play the game. A Lord of the Rings theme would be cool too, and you would have more faction variety. Only thing is you would need more modded nations.
I think the thing that has been bugging me about Dominions lately is that everyone is busy minimaxing the crap out of the game mechanics, which makes the "story" of why there is a war to begin with starts to feel a little threadbare. And of course, no self-respecting strategy gamer sacrifices power for the sake of thematic correctness right?
All the role-playing I've seen seems to be along the lines of "our powerful nation/god/whatever will crush yours for we are mightier", which is okay for a while, but starts to feel boring after a while. Maybe I've just been reading too much about WWII lately, but I want a good story to go along with my bloody mini-maxing war! [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/icon02.gif[/img]
