Well, team C has no conflicts. If exp level between A and B seems similar then either it will be random or by looking at 2nd choice [so if for one team their 2nd pick will be someones 1st already picked, then they will get their 1st one, and another team with get their 2nd, as it would otherwise mean someone else taking 3rd].

May I suggest the following?

1. Arrange the teams by the cost of their first picks, lowest to highest. Then, cases of ties on cost of first picks, arrange by lowest average total cost.

If matters are still tied, chose by lowest cost available pairs, with a null entry counted as high.

So for example
Team A: 5,3: 5,5: 3,7 Ave: 4.67
Team B: 6,4: 4,4: 2,7 Ave: 4.5
Team C: 4,4: 8,2: 8,1 Ave: 4.5
Team D: 2,4: 7,3: 8,2 Ave: 4.33
Team E: 5,5: 3,6: Ave 4.5
Team F: 5,3: 2,3: 5,5 Ave 3.83

So After arranging:
D, F, C, A, B/D

D gets his first choice
F as well.
C gets his second choice
A gets his third choice
Neither B nor D can be satisfied, all nations being chosen - they get random nations...

the third option is a nod towards solving the system and gives people who don't diversify their picks a pointless advantage and encourages lack of pick diversity which breaks down your other points ...


if theres a tie resolving the way zeldor seems to be fine... after most teams are given nation assignments anyone without a pick can just go back and grab an unselected nation theres gonna be dozens of unselected nations to choose from at the end if you lose all your ties

when are we going to get the map WITH garrisons included? after we submit pretender designs or before? if the answer is before... will it be before or after nation preference selection?
