My big thing is that I want something reasonably simple for the draft. The A,B,C,D thing was that. When we are then talking about points and bids - that's almost another game in and of itself and I just don't want something that complicated. I see the beauty of the random thing, but you could get reamed by lady luck that way.
I had this idea that the last two picks should be forced to be D1 and D2 since they are dispersed and could be used to 'fill in' rather than have a team that got Regions 1 and 2 then have to pick 10 for the last one or something.

I agree HH ABCD method was/is fine. Sometime your not going to get your first selection. But you have the same chance as everyone else. I think this came up because of how the draft turned out. which actually I think the team that did get the 3rd choice ended up with a pretty solid team.
When we tried the dispersed kingdom which sounds like UMs way would be doing most players did not like it because it created a team with an advantage. I did not mind it myself also created some forced fighting and was fair to all.
To help it not happen again perhaps someone could post a 3rd cycle drafting guide in tip area.

I'm very happy with the HH draft system as well. I see the pro and con of all 4 options (A-D) and think they are ultimately well-balanced. But would still like to see more team balance within each team as well when teams are forming (not that all need to be this way; but would be nice to have some games where its a factor).

Alright, I am letting this go with a caveat - I don't want to hear any bitching, and I told you so.
The system was fine for 2nd Cycle. It may wreck good 3rd Cycle games. The opinions were from people who were on first or second choice teams.

Ry Vor as we discuss a potential warlords draft we wanted to check that giving a kingdom a 25k bonus is not a problem during the setup process? If a player drafted TY IL AN. Is it possible to assign just the AN a 25K gold bonus or only the IL and AN? is this something programmed into the game set-up? My understanding was it is something like a check box.
I guess the obvious other question is are you ready for us to start some Warlords?
