Barbarian Invasion - Rule Discussion

1. BE/Pythium
2. The suggestions so far make sense.
3. Yes I would prefer that this be a *dom2* game with teams and a particular theme. I am not in favor of trying to make this some sort of "alternate history war game" (AHWG). Outlawing sea provinces would make sense for the AHWG, but not for dom2.
4. ? Maybe for the Romans to occupy some percentage of the original barbarian provinces. Maybe even require the Romans to build forts in some percentage of the originally barbarian provinces (so the provinbces are truly civilized). But I'm flexible.
5. see 4.
6. 50. Something that doesn't swing the balance too far either way.
7. Not tried that, so I suppose I have no opinion.
8. Either way is OK. I suspect the Romans would build castles if they start with them.
9. no
10. Adding a few monsters for the barbarians might be fun, but it could also allow an early exploit if someone thinks of something clever.
11. Either way is OK with me. Truper's idea might be fun.
12. No. I think it will be tricky enough to have this game balanced as is.

If Folket's idea of Romans required to take drain is adopted - count me out. I understand his rationale, but the idea of playing a magically crippled Pythium doesn't appeal to me.

i agree with what others say but i think there should be atleast a few barbarian monsters

ps: are there any free spaces left because in my current mp game im gona die soon

RonD, since we start with so many provinces there will be no such thing as magicaly crippled. Everyone will be able to afford to research.

Shovah, there should be one spot open assuming Truper is playing too. If not, you can have mine; I'm not dying in Artifacts any time soon (unless there is a big conspiracy afoot)

is it a barbarian spot? is yours?

Morkilus · #6 January 13th, 2006, 08:51 PM

Yes, I imagine it would be though I still don't know who's playing or not.

I'm going to have to bow out of this as well. Something's come up in Real Life and I'm just not going to have the time.

Have fun!
