[Dayyālu]

TEAMS,TEAMS.

In.

I'm up for it.

Sure why not. Ermor Banned.

 

[Berekän]

I'm in for a team brawl.

 

[Infinitum]

Can we ban water nations as well? Being unreachable until the midgame doesn't make for fun games imo.

 

[sqeecoo]

What's with this banning shit? Are ye mice or are ye men! I'm more for solo game cause teams is more work, but teams is ok as well. We'd need at least 4, 5+ is better I think.

 

[Infinitum]

I'm a mammal yo. Enough of this fish shit.

FAKE EDIT: But just in case, I'll take R'lyeh otherwise.

 

[KoolNoodles]

I think that's 7. Find 1-3 more and sure teams of two.

 

[Isiloon]

Playing ermor is a crime, playing water nations is frowned upon.

Especially if Infinitum plays it, we need another 2 water nations to balance it out


I'll go with Sceleria.

Wanted to go with C'tis but for some reason they don't have the pretender chassis I want. Also I like free troops.

 

[Infinitum]

Maybe we should decide teams first, then do a nation draft?

 

[Isiloon]

Okay, but I pick Sceleria

 

[sqeecoo]

Here's a revolutionary idea we've never tried before: let's start the game soon!!!

Seriously, if we wait around for one to three more, and then spend ages picking teams, I worry dominions 6 will be out before this starts and then we'll have to spend some time rethinking our strategies.

I'm fine with non-team FFA and even going solo in a world of teams if that helps the game start in 2018-2019.

 

[Isiloon]

I think its harder to snowball in FFA, so prefer that

 

[Infinitum]

I'd prefer a team battle, novelties can be fun. That said I do agree getting games off the ground takes way longer than it should. I'm GMT+2 by the by, if we're doing teams we should probably set them up in similar timezones to reduce lag.

Time zone difference should be fine. Just get on Steam/Discord or use PMs liberally. Coordination is not super key until war starts. And even then....

Anyways, teams would be fine. The map, Snerdyn, accommodates up to 10. I'd like to start in a week or two tops.

So out of curiosity, would it be possible to submit a pretender/disciple from the same email address? If so, we could get started whilst looking for player #8?

EDIT: Or just leave #8 as a wildcard and get the other teams ready? We'll probably lose a few days procrastinating devising strategy anyhow..

 

[sqeecoo]

Nope, you'd need a different mail and a different copy of the game, from what I understand. But I'm willing to play solo if it comes to that As long as I get to try Nazca

 

[KoolNoodles]

Go ahead and make some teams if people have an idea. I'll be on a team so whoever wants to join me go for it.

 

[sqeecoo]

Dayyalu and I were talking that we could be on one, if we're not short one player, in which case I'm ok with being the solo guy, just to get this thing going

 

[Falksi]

 

[Isiloon]

KoolNoodles do you want to team up, I feel we have a lot to share and my style is inspired by yours.

EDIT - actually, it makes more sense if I team up with someone who wants good scales

 

[Infinitum]

Already asked him

Not sure how much experience people have with Dominions? I'm pretty new (about a year) but have lurked the game longer and have previous strategy/4x experience. I did sort of win the last random-nation decline but most players abandoned that inside of year 3.
