Mad multiplayer idea

[PvK]

We actually played a game like this of Dominions 2 several years ago. The referee asked everyone to create a pretender/nation for all the nations, and didn't tell anyone what was going on at first. Then he selected a random pretender for everyone to play from everyone else's designs. Players could try to design bad pretenders if they guessed in advance, but I don't think anyone did that. The result was we had to play a game with someone else's design, which I think most of us found rather interesting. Oh, it was also an "assassin" game, where the goal of each player was to be the first to eliminate one of the other players (as I recall, the one whom you had designed). The game ended when I think 2 or 3 of the other players were eliminated. Anyway, I thought it was a very interesting game.

That sounds kinda fun PvK.

Every nation would probably have turmoil 3/misfortune 3.

Try this one:

Player 1 does whatever they want, but they leave 50% of the points unspent (that includes points gained from negative scales/dormant-ness).
Player 2 receives the pretender, and may spend the other 50% increasing any magic paths (including ones already set), increasing dominion, or increasing any scale (increasing a negative scale would be allowed, but remember that Player 1 got to spend half those points).

I know it sounds complicated, but I think it could work. (maybe?)

Taqwus,

Nice one! It actually looks like a reasonable pretender until you note the nation...
