If that is the case then I think the victory condition should be that if Rome defeats even one opponent then the romans have won the game. Making it crucial for "the barbarians" to cooperate as the roman empires are strong then each of them, but togather they are stronger.
That's a good idea in order to provide incentive for helping others out when they really need it, even when you know it's going to set you back.

I'd be totally interested in this game, if you need anyone else to be the Barbarians. I expect you'd want experts to play Rome. Perhaps we could have an IRC room or a private forum to discuss Barbarian strategy after it gets started.

The barbarians idea is a lot more interesting than the all vs Ermor.

I'd be interested in playing the Pythium part.


[edit] I just saw Morkilus' post. I'm not a real expert, but I play one on TV.

I have played Pythium several times in MP. And I slept at a Holiday Inn Express once.

Sounds interesting. Have not decided if I want to be an imperialist or a barbarian, though

Suggestions:
  • Add Machaka in the South, so it's a 2 front war for western Rome as well.
  • Instead of C'tis, use Arco.
  • human pretenders only.

I think romans should have human pretenders but the barbarians will have a great thematic feeling if they have wyrms, manticores, cyclops and other monsters.

Problem with adding Machaka in the south is that noone will be able to help them if they get into trouble.

Since i kinda hijacked this thread i apologise and open now a new Thread for the Barbarian Invasion game to discuss the Rules etc.. When we will have agreed to the rules i will edit the Europe map for the scenario.
I already tried it as SP and it worked quite well .
