Hey, I am not playing in this game, but I just want to applaud Alneyan for hosing Dominions games for other players. It is guys like this who make the MP community a success for all players.
Also, 6 teams of 2 is a really nifty idea. It is a nice change of pace from the standard FFA games.
As for the team draft thing, reversing order in the second round is a good plan. We do this in my scratch golf league and it really evens out the playing field for all teams. The first guy to pick will get his/her best race but then the teammate has to select from the dregs of whatever is left over. A good way to balance the teams.
I wonder if a single team will get Ermor AE/SG and Pan CW? That would be a very interesting combo indeed.
As Yvelina mentioned, Theater of War seems designed exactly for this type of game with its 6 independent leafs plus the middle for everybody to fight over. No one can really complain about bad starting positions on that map.
Anyway, good luck all and I hope you guys and gals post in this thread on the game progress plus any good battles.
