Banned Nations:
0) no pop-killing dominion. (e.g. Ermor, Pan CW ) Death-3 is fine rationale: ruins the war mechanics. Why attack them when there is no gain. Neat idea. Bad for the game unless everyone is playing that type of nation.

1) Caelum. Rationale: Overpowered. Why be anything else?

I would like to play in this team game

You know I'm down. I think Q is in as well? Are we going to be on the same team or is that something that will be decided randomly.

Also, how are you going to address the topics of:
1) Capital Placement
How can you insure that team's empires will be located adjacent to each other?

2) Nation Selection
Are we all going to select our own nations? Or will we form teams and then have like a... instant runnoff voting for nation pairings or triplets?

Can't do this that I know of. So if you get placed in a bad place better go defensive and hope your teammate(s) get there to help you.

The indies at strength 8 should help.

In short: Life is hard.

>2) Nation Selection
>Are we all going to select our own nations? Or will we form teams and then have like a... instant runnoff voting for nation pairings or triplets?

What do people want to do? Probably should do a game of mish mash nations vs each other. And another game that is more thematic.

Form teams and then run off would be my preference. Hopefully people will take complimentary nations. I know I will be.

You can also have a third party host create a .map with manual placement; this file can be kept secret from all players, so you wouldn't know where the other capitals are.

I am probably in, though it is stretching it a bit a since I just joined two of Illwinter's Shepherds of Creation games (bringing my game total to five). If we could get it rolling as a blitz that would help.
