Default Re: Would you play to the death?

In dominions, cooperation between multiple people is *very* *very* difficult. For example in Betelgeuse, Executor congratulated me because I successfully coordinated (more or less) four people, for about 30 turns.

And four people was barely enough to slowly start attritioning the leader. And ultimately the game was called for real world reasons, not my brilliance.

That was with ALL of the remaining players ganging up. Had there been other players not willing, throwing monkey wrenches, it would have not been possible.

Think about it: everything you want to do- is difficult.
In turn messages take 3 turns to process (sent)(recvd)(reply). No mechanism for allied movement; no transparency to allies.
