Preponderance - Big Team Game! [1-2 subs needed!]

So how will this be resolved?

Team A:
EA Mict EA Ctis
MA Mach MA Mict
LA Man LA Aby

Team B:
EA Mict EA Agartha
EA Arco Ea Tir
LA Man LA Aby

Team C:
EA Hell MA Agartha
Ea Caelum EA Ctis
EA Ctis LA Patala

(Thanks for being patient and answering the question - I think you are going to see people clustered at 30,29,28 pts is the reason I ask.)

Who gets mictlan?

[Zeldor]

Well, team C has no conflicts. If exp level between A and B seems similar then either it will be random or by looking at 2nd choice [so if for one team their 2nd pick will be someones 1st already picked, then they will get their 1st one, and another team with get their 2nd, as it would otherwise mean someone else taking 3rd].

[chrispedersen]

May I suggest the following?

1. Arrange the teams by the cost of their first picks, lowest to highest. Then, cases of ties on cost of first picks, arrange by lowest average total cost.

If matters are still tied, chose by lowest cost available pairs, with a null entry counted as high.

So for example
Team A: 5,3: 5,5: 3,7 Ave: 4.67
Team B: 6,4: 4,4: 2,7 Ave: 4.5
Team C: 4,4: 8,2: 8,1 Ave: 4.5
Team D: 2,4: 7,3: 8,2 Ave: 4.33
Team E: 5,5: 3,6: Ave 4.5
Team F: 5,3: 2,3: 5,5 Ave 3.83

So After arranging:
D, F, C, A, B/D

D gets his first choice
F as well.
C gets his second choice
A gets his third choice
Neither B nor D can be satisfied, all nations being chosen - they get random nations...

the third option is a nod towards solving the system and gives people who don't diversify their picks a pointless advantage and encourages lack of pick diversity which breaks down your other points ...


if theres a tie resolving the way zeldor seems to be fine... after most teams are given nation assignments anyone without a pick can just go back and grab an unselected nation theres gonna be dozens of unselected nations to choose from at the end if you lose all your ties

when are we going to get the map WITH garrisons included? after we submit pretender designs or before? if the answer is before... will it be before or after nation preference selection?

[Zeldor]

You have few days for nation selection [as there are 6 people that need to team up anyway], so yes, you will see final map with garrisons before making final nation choices. Mapmaking has proven to be much more challenging than I originally thought But they will be the same as the ones on WoG, just moved a bit [and they may have added commanders with supply items and maybe some weak S mages to prevent mind hunting them out].

Central island will have:
50k pop
Throne of the World magic site
Ancient Forge [20% forge bonus]
magic site giving recruitment of Lore Masters
+ 1 more not yet decided [maybe some cool summoning, gotta go through Edi's DB]

[Kheldron]

Chrispedersen and I will play together.

[Jarkko]

Sorry to inform, but I am stepping out. Started already another MP game as this took some time to get going. Good luck everyone!

[Zeldor]

We need one more then.

[otthegreat]

Denisius and I have teamed up.

PsiSoldier just invited me here so I'll probably be his teammate.
Still looking at the rules...
