I like the idea of the fighting to the Last team. No need for an 80% land victory because if one team gets that much the other teams may concede the game to that team or may want to fight it out to the end. I always find the fighting to the end part the most fun.

Tuidjy did not say anything about controlling 80% of the total provinces, but merely 80% of the provinces in the central isle (that would be a fair number of provinces, though it could be achieved if opposing teams were playing a bit too defensively).

The first three nations have been picked: they are (in no particular order) C'tis, Pangaea and Pythium.

I will be sending the mails to the three other teams soon.

One potential worry about using Theater of War for your team game: Only one team at a time will have control of the two provinces needed for travel between the starting area and the central circle. That could make fighting a war a real logistical nightmare.

Those two provinces each have preset fortifications there. One nation can own both forts and the other one can travel through it freely. Basically leave 0 pd in both provinces and its fine. I like the one province chokepoint idea because it is different than normal games. It makes things interesting.

I like the theater of war map, as long as there will not be a major problem with getting in and out of central circle by both members of a team. I also like the idea of either victory points or a % of the central circle as the grounds for victory.

I would also give TheBirthdayParty a little slack as a newcomer.
