10 Player Hidden Capital Game

[davekuyk]

Here is the idea:

• 10 player game (thus two regions start empty)
  
• All players have a hidden capital; only kingdoms with a hidden capital are available
  
• Players draft kingdoms and regions
  
• Lower-tier kingdoms are buffed versus the top-tier kingdoms
  

The Kingdoms

Tiers (1 to 4) are from my Kingdom Ratings sheet.

• Amazons (tier 3)
  
• Ancient Ones (tier 1)
  
• Atlanteans (tier 4)
  
• Demon Princes (tier 1)
  
• Druid (tier 1)
  
• Fairy Folk (tier 4)
  
• Forgotten (tier 3)
  
• Illusionist (tier 2)
  
• Pirates (tier 4)
  
• Underworld (tier 2)
  

Tier Adjustments

This is assuming these are indeed things Brek can adjust. I think they are, but only Brek can say if this is feasible or not.

Tier 1 kingdoms are unchanged
Tier 2 kingdoms gain an extra 3000 food and gold production to the capital, and an adept is raised to a p-1
Tier 3 kingdoms gain the tier 2 boost, plus an extra point of influence
Tier 4 kingdoms gain the tier 2 and 3 boosts, plus an extra 20,000 food and gold


Thoughts? Any interest?

Same, I would play but prefer anon for sure.

[mwigdahl]

I'd be in, anon would be fine.  As I'm just getting back into it a slightly longer turnaround time (48 or 72 hour) would be appreciated, but I could probably make 24 hour work.

[Windstar]

I would definitely be in on this game.

[Pine Needle]

I would definitely be in on this game.

in!

[davekuyk]

So we have some interest:

Pine Needle
Windstar
mwigdahl
Wynad
Alzreborn
and me!

I'm not sure how we can do this anonymously and have a draft.

Let me ask some questions:

It is desirable to do the tier adjustments as I suggested above? It is an attempt to make the field more fair, given the smaller pool of kingdoms to choose from.

People need to draft either kingdoms or regions? If a draft format is not important, then I could simply make a 10-person game in the queue and allow people to sign up. We would still need Brek to make the tier adjustments, if that is what we decide.

[Windstar]

The game doesn't have to be annon, and we can just do no diplomacy.

I am in. No diplo is great

[Alzreborn]

The game doesn't have to be annon, and we can just do no diplomacy.

To be clear I will play any of the diplo formats.  My preference is no diplo after we draft.  Obviously we cant anon that but I will play whatever format friend Dave wants.
