Forbidden Magic: Darkness and Light!

[moderation]

Hmm, well that's the tricky thing, you can justify all sorts of extraordinary and awful practices in the name of achieving a "good" cause (many news headlines come to mind). It's kind of disturbing, but also interesting to think about in Dominions terms since you would be the one responsible for said acts.

As for what good and evil mean, I think we're stuck with using the commonsense ideas we've inherited today to a certain extent. Of course if we tried to put ourselves in the shoes of a civilization from 3000 years ago, it would probably be different, but I'm not sure I'd want to be a barbarian.

Hey this gives me a new idea: Civilized people vs the barbarians. However this is also a rather big can of worms. Both Mel Gibson's Braveheart and Ghengis Khan come to mind. Maybe EA nations could fight LA ones or something.

That could work. Just EA vs LA is too general though. EA Ermor is a civilized nation while LA Tien Chi would probably be barbaric.

Maybe the civilized nations should be at the center of the map and a larger number of barbaric nations scattered arround the edges.

Civilized nations should be forced to take order while barbarians take turmoil.

The one thing that makes this less interesting than the good vs. evil vs. neutral idea is that there is no real need for cooporation among or between the groups. This game would quickly become almost exactly the same as any other dominions game. If someone can come up with a way to make cooporation on both/one of the teams beneficial this could be a very interesting idea.
