Default Re: Idea: one nation, several players

Ive actually played a game like that with my son and with my brother-in-law. We had very different playing styles. I tend to be a micro-manager, my BiL was a researcher, and my son was basically a barbarian horde in any type of game he ever plays so he was our God of War. We played some by passing the same nation around.

But mostly we played where we were each the nation of our choices playing as a pantheon (council of gods). Thats when we ironed out things like how to use a castle as a 2-way door for nations to cross each others lands, good trading rules, how to "gift" mages and leaders to each other, etc.
