Has anyone written on dual nations regarding early/mid/late game synergies, forger/SC synergies, etc?

ps sign me up

Not sure how applicable that would be since your nations are randomly picked. In an ideal world you would be able to cover most paths and forge all the right boosters and useful items.

Like Z said I was thinking along the lines of one nation (regardless) setting up for early strength (bless rush?) and the other mid/end game. One the forger/SC side one guy could completely forgo construction with the other being the item maker. Of course the one would miss out on golems, etc.

I wonder if some have tried to create "charmable chassis" for allies (e.g. thug with no MR items set in front line to retreat against charming cadre from allies nations). Nice if trading troops or seamless allies would be a feature in team games.

PS Zel- how close would teams start to each each other?

[namad]

the map has fixed team start locations...

they start close to eachother and sealed in a little box surrounded by super indies like strength 87 customly added...

this may have changed in any degree

Preponderance 2, so soon?
What the hell happened?

I really disliked the map in this game, led to a 3 vs 1 in the first 15 turns...

I think I'd like to play in this. I'd vote for CPCS, and Endo's Site Mod, and possibly even Mytheology to be included.

So you can talk to your teammate, but you can't tell him who you are? Won't he figure out right quick in the course of normal discussion? Or is it you can talk to your teammate about anything, but you cannot talk to anyone else about anything?

[Zeldor]

Huh, bad interpunction. You cannot tell anyone else who you are :P Omit the coma and just and it makes sense

[TheDemon]

The weak/strong division seems a bit arbitrary to me. For example, both Marignons are certainly not weak, and there isn't much that makes LA Caelum stronger than MA Caelum; LA gets a little death, but can't cast storm reliably or forge air boosters (I would call both weak, even if they did do well last Prepo). MA Mictlan is another that I'm not sure about.

ah i see so everyone gets a random nation and doesnt know which nations are unchosen? but you may choose to "reroll" once? and get another random nation? how about more than once? how about we debate things a little and totally remove from teh game several nations?...

how about we choose as many nations as players as there are to be played? then just randomize those? and use no undistributed?

i do agree a lot of those nations are awful and wouldn't be fair to distribute theres gotta be a way to narrow down the list some? should people begin proposing a couple nations to just totally throw out?


i'd personally like to see 8-15nations just totally thrown out chosen in some diplomatic way?

[Zeldor]

I had to draw line somewhere. There were some nations in between that could be put in both groups. I think that LA Caelum mages get way better combinations of spells. I'd say they are maybe 0.5 point better than MA Caelum.
