That is a good idea Esben.

What if the map was altered into more of a board game. Each player could start with a total of 16 pieces. The front 8 could only move forward one space, or diagnal if they can attack.

You would have one main piece that you would lose the game if you lost it. This could be your pretender god.

You would have one SC piece that could move horizontal or diagnal as many squares as you want.

We would have to come up with what the other pieces do. Imagine how fair and balanced this would be, everyone would have an equal chance at victory.

AND... people could still whine about who gets to go first!

How about making it so that all units, including the pretender, are immobile? Once you drop, er, place them on the map, they stay there until defeated in battle.

And by battle, I mean to say that when units are surrounded by units of the opposing color, er, nations, they are defeated.

This eliminates complaints about SCs being unbalanced also.

If all units are immobile... then the only battles would be from summoned attack spells. I imagine you were probably joking the same as my post.
lol

Heehee. Sounds like a fun MOD. Turn everyone here into a pretender for their favorite nation with skills and descriptions appropriate for their personalitys. (but of course only if it can be done WITHOUT flamage which I WILL kill such a thread for)
