It's an interesting bid system. It reminds me somewhat of WiF's bidding system where you bid from -20 to +X victory points which if you win a bidding round, you add that number to the selected country's VPs to win. Is this a straight-up bid? I.e. if you would start with 30,000 pop and bid -20 you would start with 29,980? Or is it in a representative denomination of a higher number?

1 point = 1,000

Hmmm, very interesting. Would there be a cap on a positive bid then? The possibility of someone bidding a very large positive value on a 'bad' nation could be ugly.

Each player submits a list of maximum ten nation bids, followed by a negative or positive number inside some interval, say between -30.000 and +10.000. A negative number means the population you are willing to give up, while a positive number is the bonus you want in order to play that nation.

Bah, I'm blind sorry. Thanks for that link.

If we do this I think the upper cap will probably be like 20 or 30.

Also if you fail to win a nation or select "random" you would get a random nation with an additional 10 points (10,000 pop) on top of the bid limit. Hopefully this will stop everyone from submitting a long list of nations exactly bid limit.

In Empires in Arms, you bid on all 7 nations, but all your bids had to be a different number. We may want to do something like that here.
