Proposition: Zen vs. Norfleet

Surely if there're more than Zen and Norf playing, I'd be glad to be inside but I'm not very skilled ... however I fear the challenge beetween them could be heavily modified from other player intervention.

I am not sure MP Dom2 1vs1 game would be very interesting. The reason is that I suspect there would be too much of "avalanche" effect. I think what will happen is that people would spend a lot of hours expanding and building the nation, than the fate of the gme will be decided in one or two large battles, since once will start to win, each next battle will be increseangly more easy to win than the previous one. With multiply players in MP other players can always interfere to prevent the wining nation from becoming too strong due to its starting victories, and by doing this severely limiting "avalanche" effect. In 1 vs 1 game there will be no such limitation, especially so on small map.

This is just a theory though, I've never tried 1 vs 1 game myself and is not very interested to try. But I suspect it to be the true, based upon my MP Dom2 experience.
