Default Re: World War

I hate to be contrarian, but if Stage 1 is "crush them utterly", you do not have a multiple stage plan.

2. "Laugh at them while they cry."
3. "Profit!"

Most/least at turn 10 is better than pre-arranged teams, but it would make for some WEIRD decisions.

Like, do I hold off on this guy (very vulnerable) so that I don't end up stuck with him on my team - or, worse yet - we're both in strong positions, take some of my lousy territories so we end as team-mates, etc.

It's also kind of complicated, and province strength at turn 10 may not be a good indicator of real power anyway.

I think two random teams is more fair, I agree that three teams of three could devolve into 6vs3 quickly. Of course, I secretly *like* diplomacy, but everyone else is keen to avoid that, that's cool.

Two completely random teams of four seems fairer to me - which map do we want? I'm happy to do the modding.
