Fantasy Draft VIII - Official Voting Topic

yeah a bunch of good ideas to shake it up a little. Not sure which one works best but they all sound good

Parallel server and avonmora map. 5 ports, 5 teams. 5-10 embedded reporters to report back the results to the "real" avonmora.
One could even award a voodoo/gc budget to avoid draining your real avonmora standing.
Simple really. The hard part would be getting 50 players to sign into a new account and dedicate the time in a 7 day war.

It would be a great experience to work with some players that you do not typically work with, and perhaps fight those who you are usually allingned with.

The external idea is interesting. It does change the value of players whos primary weight is a deep pocket, huge bank, giant voodoo chest, masses of war ships or trade ships. Some players have value because they hord resources into massive reserves instead of blowing them in the name of stirring things up.
If you are given exhibition reasources to use.
It would become a test of pure short term strategy.
It would not favor those who are long term strategy players.
It would not be a purely accurate reflection of player value.
It would still be fun.

As I dwell in this idea more, I agree it would be fun to try.
If each port had an equal treasury set up and each player was awarded say 5 voodoo packs and 50 mil gc for illustration to use only in the alternate avonmora, it would remove the wealth quotient from the battle.
The diplomatic maneuvering to align with other ports in an attempt to gain an advantage would be intense.

Or why not just have a Tournament port on the map that can only be accessible by tournament teams during the tournaments. The ranks are determined at the end by the time holding the port from longest to shortest. Team that held the longest time 1st, 2nd place and so on....

Could be called the Isle of Shadows after the initiator of the draft himself.

Isle of Shadows - I like it - just for tournaments?

Could it be done?

THAT IS A GENIOUS NAME! Isle of Shadows I like it

Tournament ports are better than one port.
If you are competing in trade,
You would need more than one port to trade in.
If it were naval combat, you would need areas to sail between.

These ports could be used for other game special events.
Not just draft exibitions.
