New Format: 1st Cutthroat

[unclemike]

Interesting selection of kingdoms. I would think the dispersed kingdoms like RD or TY would dominate this format since they start off in several regions that could be completely free of anyone else. Why settle for one region when you can have four

[Jhereg]

Black Dragon please

[Ry Vor]

I think that makes four.  One available position for some lucky soul.  Current selections (which may change):

Amazons


Dark Elves


Red Dragons


Black Dragons



Who will claim The Fifth Kingdom and start the 24 hour countdown where everything might change?

[Avantar]

Nomad. Chivalry. That Makes 5

Dispersed with flight movement in a short game like this does seem to be a good choice.  It will be a challenge for sure.

Everyone in has up until 4pm Sunday (Christmas) to change their choices then it is frozen.

Note: game will not likely be created Sunday - shoot for Monday creation after turns run so around 1pm.

Game creation cauldron is stirring, with visiting sorcerers here: too many sorcerers slow the process.  Should be coming soon.

Just to clarify, you are not eliminating players in this game , right?  But plan on doing it in future games.

Yes.  That's why it is called Cutthroat, like in the pool game.  Not happening in this game 538, and Mike would have to review the complexity of eliminating a player on status point update, but I would like opinions on the concept.  So low status point player is eliminated at end of Turn 6, then lowest status point active player is eliminated on T12, etc.  The owned population centers of those eliminated kingdoms become Human controlled.  So seems to call for new strategies.  I think it could be pretty cool. Definitely should create a sense of urgency, without necessarily dictating attacking a kingdom, so a new breed of concept. (All trademarked.)
