Independently, Will and I are trying to figure out a balance of games that will fit into our service levels and busy lives. We were thinking that a Warlords game might be a good way to thread the needle on some of this, and were wondering if a couple of other people might be interested in joining us?
Just FYI, Warlords is a 2 vs. 2 format, where one side plays the classic "good" Kingdoms and the other side plays the classic "evil" Kingdoms. The service level cost is two slots, although you get to play three Kingdoms, so it's kind of a neat deal. There are some slight changes from the usual Steel game (some different starting locations and spell lists, as examples), but not so many as to make them too daunting. The teams are:
AN, DW, RA as the Guardians of Truth
EL, GI, WA as the Order of Justice
BL, GN, WI as the Lords of Doom
DA, DE, TR as the Cult of Chaos
It's possible -- not sure about this -- that some Kingdom shuffling WITHIN THE SAME SIDES (evil Kingdom swapping with your teammate for a different evil Kingdom, good Kingdom swapping with your teammate for a different good Kingdom) could happen, but the overall sides, good vs. evil, are set and unchangeable.
Anyway, it would be our slight preference to play the good Kingdoms on this, but if others have a strong preference, we would consider deferring. We also don't necessarily need to play on the same side, especially if there is a major difference in experience and/or skill... although in complete candor, one goal of this game is to minimize the time spent on the negotiations and diplomacy that you see in regular games, so if you want to split us up, please at least be willing to be an agreeable and cooperative ally.
Sorry if this is tl;dr, but if after all of that you're still interested, please post here, thanks!
