Also, this system breaks in case of LA Ermor
Not that any system based on starting pop bidding is good for LA Ermor. Perhaps LA Ermor position should be an exception that's given randomly, while all other nations are given according to bidding system?

I'm not sure this matters at all. You'll be bidding against other players. Unless more than one player bidding on LA Ermor thinks it is ok to play with Zero pop (which, if they think that, they are crazy) there shouldn't be a problem.

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
It's an interesting bid system. It reminds me somewhat of WiF's bidding system where you bid from -20 to +X victory points which if you win a bidding round, you add that number to the selected country's VPs to win. Is this a straight-up bid? I.e. if you would start with 30,000 pop and bid -20 you would start with 29,980? Or is it in a representative denomination of a higher number?

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
Hmmm, very interesting. Would there be a cap on a positive bid then? The possibility of someone bidding a very large positive value on a 'bad' nation could be ugly.

Each player submits a list of maximum ten nation bids, followed by a negative or positive number inside some interval, say between -30.000 and +10.000. A negative number means the population you are willing to give up, while a positive number is the bonus you want in order to play that nation.

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
If we do this I think the upper cap will probably be like 20 or 30.
Also if you fail to win a nation or select "random" you would get a random nation with an additional 10 points (10,000 pop) on top of the bid limit. Hopefully this will stop everyone from submitting a long list of nations exactly bid limit.
