You interested Kiss? Response seems to be lukewarm to this idea but no one is really posing alternates. I wonder if I should just post the game itself and see if people will get more excited about that.

I like your idea Ironhawk. But I like power gaming and the settings you are suggesting are for a power game. Sadly, I have'nt commented earlier because due to evil work I cannot join any more MP's at the moment.

Why don't you try it on a small map with just 8 players? That may be fun...

I would give it a try.

But I, of course, would rather just blitz the turns.

Yeah thats a good idea, meglobob, maybe I will start out small. 8-10 players is probably a good size, anyway, since my thought for this game is that it would also resolve itself faster than normal. So a regular dom3 game might last 3 months or something. Whereas this one might only last 1.5.

I'm in!

I'm definitely interested. I'm a bit worried that the borders wouldn't be at all secure, but they're not really anyways.

How would this setup effect borders any more than a regular game?

Another question: what do you guys think about Victory Points? It seems like a logical thing to add to a game designed to move quickly. Perhaps Capital-VPs only? So that you dont need to specifically castle any VP provs?

I do sense a LOT of luck though being incorporated into this game. Imagine the guy who starts with 5 farmlands compared to one who started with like 5 or 6 provinces with below 3K population.
