Well if you consider my experience with board games and other similar strategy games is limited to what you see on this sight - then you are truly blinded by your devotion to this game/site.
Problem with rule #1 is that if you need to launch an attack from a territory that your teammate owns then you're screwed, whereas under current rulings you could just stomp over your teammates forces.
Answer: Hmm.... maybe allow teammates to abdicate ...
I'd like to make the following suggestion as a more 'team' based team game.
1) Teammates cannot attack each other.
2) Continents owned by a team will provide army bonuses to that team. The army bonus will be provided to the first team player at the start of each round.
Online teammates help win games. Also an understanding of the rules would too. I thought that because the 'team' owned the continent we would get bonus armies. Unfortunately not. I think I'll be sticking to single player games for the moment.
teammates can attack each other??! the rules of this game gets stranger & stranger.
Note: If the writers of the game would like me to update their code so a new version of this game where those 2 above rules are fixed I'd be happy to donate my coding skills. These are how I would code the new ...
If I am in a team (doubles or triples) and my team jointly captures a continent, let's say South America, who gets the bonus armies? And when does the bonus armies occur?
