Default Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Game Over. Noobs Triumph!

I claim victory.

We should definitely do another noobs and vets game. We could either do:
* equal numbers on each side (heh heh heh)
* a mix of teams of two vets and teams of three noobs (say). This way the number of vets and noobs doesn't have to (remotely) match up.
* teams of mixed noobs and vets.

If we go for the last option, my suggestion would be:
* teams of three.
* each team of three should be balanced re: experience level of the players, ideally would include one veteran, one moderately experienced player and one noob.
* the less experienced players within a team should be *required* to take whichever nations a given team drafts first.

This game is better MP meaning more than two teams - any game with two teams immediately becomes total war, which makes it hard for any of the late-game-research dependent nations to really thrive.
