Use Photobucket.com

BTW, I like the barbarian concept as well.

I would like to join in this game, and I think the barbarians should not be allied, first barbarian to capture Rome or Byzantium would win the game. Or that the roman empires stand for 50 turns.

That would be a neat variation but I think a co-operative effort vs The Ultimate Bad Guy(s) is the central theme of this game.

If that is the case then I think the victory condition should be that if Rome defeats even one opponent then the romans have won the game. Making it crucial for "the barbarians" to cooperate as the roman empires are strong then each of them, but togather they are stronger.

That's a good idea in order to provide incentive for helping others out when they really need it, even when you know it's going to set you back.

I'd be totally interested in this game, if you need anyone else to be the Barbarians. I expect you'd want experts to play Rome. Perhaps we could have an IRC room or a private forum to discuss Barbarian strategy after it gets started.

The barbarians idea is a lot more interesting than the all vs Ermor.

I'd be interested in playing the Pythium part.

[edit] I just saw Morkilus' post. I'm not a real expert, but I play one on TV.

I have played Pythium several times in MP. And I slept at a Holiday Inn Express once.

Sounds interesting. Have not decided if I want to be an imperialist or a barbarian, though

Suggestions:

Add Machaka in the South, so it's a 2 front war for western Rome as well.
Instead of C'tis, use Arco.
human pretenders only.
