Alliance Vs The Dead

[Boron]

Hello Steerpike .
QM and me discussed a similiar idea yesterday in IRC.

If the big bad guy shall be ai controlled i would suggest that it shall be someone else and not Ermor AI. Reason: Fighting vs. the Ermor AI is quickly boring. Even fighting an Ermor Death Theme played by a human player can be boring.
The AI will mainly just attack with hordes of undead and do nothing else apart maybe casting Burden of Time.

I would suggest another idea:
We could try some kind of "Barbarian Invasion" scenario.

Map: Zen's Europe

Alliance 1: Roman Empire
Pythium - Eastern Roman Empire
Ermor BE - Western Roman Empire
Alliance 2: The Barbarian Hordes
Number of Members is open, at least 3-4 Players, could theoretically also be 6 or maybe even more.

Vague Concept, imageshack unfortunately only supports imagesizes up to 1024 kb so i had to make it a low quality jpg.

Western and Eastern Rome would be allied and would have to defend vs. the Barbarian Invasion. The Barbarians may be also allied but this is up for Discussion.
Most Barbarian Nations would only start with 2-3 Provinces but they would have a large army.
If the Barbarians would also be allied we could make it a special victory condition game:
Barbarian Win:
If Rome and Byzantine and Carthago and Alexandria are occupied by the Barbarian Alliance
Roman Win:
If Rome and Byzantine hold the 4 previously mentioned provinces + killed 2/3 of the barbarian tribes.
