Potential variant game

1650 normal game.
DS and FP each choose 6 nations to play (opponent is not told which nations are active).

No other edits so the 4 remaining nations on each side plus the 5 neutrals remain as inactive nations. Most would go bankrupt or be eliminated after the requisite inactivity period.

Any interest? I think I can get 6 nations filled.

Sounds interesting. How to choose your 6 nations? 6 from the existing allegiance - or run a snake draft where each side chooses?

I was assuming that each player put in three choices as usual. With
only five other players on your side, it’s likely everyone would get
their first or second pick.

Interesting variation. But I could see how most of the game would
be the played nations finding and absorbing the unplayed nations
territories. And emissaries! The camp limit would not be
reached for a very long time, so lots and lots of camps.

Game could be very exciting or also very boring! :slight_smile:

Snake draft? I didn’t know you Canadians ran CFL fantasy football leagues, but I guess it makes sense. Do you add a 10-yard bonus for 110-yard TDs?

Or did you pick the concept up from your Fantasy Hockey league?

Curious…

This was an idea I floated to Clint for a variant game.

I already have a team put together to play FP so need a DS team as our opponents. 6 players (or less if players want to play multiple nations).

As for choosing your 6 nations just go for the 6 that you think gives you the most options to win.

As in the one you have to throw - bigger ball, longer field, fewer downs. Off you go…

As to the Snake Draft - hockey, of course. And we did it in MEPBM once to split up the neutrals in a 12 v 12. DS with first pick wanted the Easterlings - so we took one of the southrons and surprised them with Rhudaur - they got the other southern, eliminating the Dun from the game. Don’t know why thery were so eager to get the Easterlings, we eliminated everything we could reach almost immediately, leaving them Khand…fun game.

Well, I must admit I’m intrigued. If I played, I’d prefer to find 2
other players to play two nations each which I think would be more fun in
that scenario, if it is allowed.
