Omnirizon:
And bid with what? If you have interesting solution I could make it as a part [for a situation when multiple people want same nations].
And situation with Lanka/Marverni you described would result in him getting turned AI. There are tactics and there are abuses too. It's a team game, not a single player with other one getting leeched. I will just admin that game so I will be able to check if bad things happen.
We have 24 players and about 50 nations to choose. It should work fine
P.S. to your edit: I surely won't change that, that is my vision of the game, one near caves, one near plains. As I said before - I expect people to play fair and play it like a team game.
