I propose that we do a mid-era version of this game, where everyone gets the MA version of their current team! So my team would be Jotunheim, Gath, Caelum and Ulm. This would be completely fair and none of you would have any cause to complain.

Okay, the best way to resolve this is a blind-bid system in fixed order.

You fill out a list with your maximum bid on each nation (out of 100 boku.) Then, the nations are bid on:
Ashdod, Ermor, Jotunheim, Vanheim, Pythium, Pangaea, Eriu, Caelum, Abysia, Shinuyama, Ulm*, C'tis*, Bandar Log, T'ien Ch'i, Marignon, Arcoscephale, Machaka and finally Man

* these nations are promoted because of their added utility to a team.

Yes, the order is open to discussion, but is in large part based on my assessment of their team utility. For example, Shinuyama has a real killer app (evokers + darkness) that they're almost guaranteed to get if they've got a team backing them up.

If you end up winning more than 4 nations (which is entirely possible!), then you get to choose from among the 4 you won. No trading between teams!
I woulnd't object to this method.. but I like bidding. it helps correct bidding anomalies.

Which is better - someone grabbing ashdod for 20 boku.. or a spirited bidding that leads ashdod to go for 72.
