Overlords - Game Thread. (playing)

For the record, I want to apologize to rdonj for our constant collective bugging I've been a part of and thank him for all the work he's done thus far to get this thing to this point:

Sorry! Thank you!

Hey Rdonj...

Looking at this from a balance perspective - the victory conditions strongly favor the overlords.

They can attack any normal at their desire, they start with a huge advantage in larger nations, and normals can't cast globals.

Okay sorry guys, I couldn't get to this before now. I hope you'll forgive me. Nation picks will be up shortly. Chrispdersen sent me a list of ea and la nations. I don't want to keep anyone else waiting any longer so I am going to work out the list now, and if he gets to me before I have finished making it, he'll get a choice, if not he'll have one of two nations available.

It is very possible the overlords have the advantage... but I think it is also very possible the normals have the advantage. I really don't know that I could say for sure who will come out on top. If this were a team game it would be more obvious probably. But since I am letting the players figure out just how to conduct themselves, I personally have no idea how it'll turn out. Hopefully the advantages the overlords get will not just allow them to run all over everyone else.

They can't attack any normal at their desire though. They have to have dominion or have their god in the army. Since I am sure everyone will be spamming dominion in this game I don't know just how easy that will be.

Nations are posted. Anyone with an asterisk got one of their picks. Anyone without an asterisk, you may feel free to trade nations amongst yourselves. I will note that many people chose the same first couple of nations. A significant number of lists were along the lines of "van, aby, x" to be precise :P. People who picked vanheim and abysia probably would have been well served sending lists longer than 3 nations. I even had two people send me the exact same list.

Thanks Hopefully all that bugging me will make for a much better game than it would have been otherwise.

Thank you very much, rdonj! Time to get to work building a strategy.

I'd be open to trading MA Oceania for some other nations. If you'd be willing to help me, please get in touch.
