So…you want to play 5 nations and share the allegiance with, at most, 1 other person. Any particular reason why the opposition has to do the same? Just as I doubt you’d find too many people with that kind of $ - ESPECIALLY if you include independent Neutrals…not the most popular breed of gamer in this community it seems…(which is all I would sign up for here… ;))
Not necessarily stuck on having the opposition played by 2 players. Perhaps they could have 3 or even 5 players. The original intent was to give someone the opportunity to play more than 2 nations at once.
Played 6 nations once in a 12v12 - both finding your compadre (unless you already have him…?) and then the opposition willing to take on such a (supposedly) well integrated opposition is tough. There are some solo players around (all 12 alone) - Scott Moyes is playing against a team right now, check the 12v13 thread here - he doesn’t sound like he’s doing so well so maybe he’ll be available soon…? My friend and I played Clint alone - fun game, well lost on our part…
We offer a discount for playing 12/10/5 nations btw.

As a player playing all 12 nations is a serious commitment BUT serious fun! No blaming allies for mistakes… they’re all your own… I find that I can play 6 nations well, but 12 and mistakes creep in.
