NES Suggestion- A team NES

I'm a very busy guy or otherwise i would open an NES based on this. My idea is this: All nations would be run in teams. It is based on the Civ3 Democracy game as well as some recent events going on in stJNES 4.

SImply, every nation would be run by two or more people who work in teams and each person would have a different job in the nation. The teams could be run in several ways like: players could take certain sections and control them as indpendent states, or loose coalation type countries like RL ancient Greece. Another possiblity is my preferred way and suggested way to run the nation:

A king or president who runs the economy and decided what upgrades and what doesnt with generals or advisors who command the army, navy, and/or air force.

But most important in no matter what arrangement, all team members should agree on where to go to war or what to upgrade. This would be an important but not required part of the game.

Also incorporated into this is another suggestion on how combat could be made more fair as well. If a team goes by my preferred arrangement one of them would have complete control of the army and could give direct commands and tell more detailed tactics than the current "invade so-and-so nation command" which leaves much of the invasion- and the flames- to the moderator. The commanders of the armies could give detailed information on how to defeat the enemy and would change the way combat works from however moderators feel on that particular day to tactics. As an example:

Say i am at war with Greece. I give orders to out flank the Greek army and surrond and destroy them. However the Greek general anticipates this and does a withdrawal from the current position which surprises my own men. The Greeks would have obviously won the battle and the moderator could safely cause the invaders to be defeated without worrying as much about flames from the losers as they would know they were out generaled and not discriminated against.

This is just suggestion i have for a future NES, if my work at school lightens up a bit, i just may post some kind of "mini" NES using this. I would appreciate comments, suggestions, or questions.

sounds interesting, eq

Sounds cool. Except if the two teammates argue.

If you made a NES like this, I'd play.

if two teammates argue, one of them could do a coup or revolution and make it more interesting

This could get interesting

Sounds good EQ

I like it. Anybody plan on starting one? I would, but I'm too busy to start stGMNESII.

I have thought of an idea like this too. An idea would be during the cold war:
1 mod that controls all different small states and mods(surprise there!)
several us players and several russian players that are either a minister or a general or something like that.
for example: Soviet player A(president), B(defense minister) and C(foreign minister) decides that Russia shall attack Afghanistan. They give player D(Supreme Commander) the mission to take afghanistan. Player D gives player E and F(normal generals) orders to attack afghanistan and they both attack. Meanwhile player G(general) decides that he has had enough of the damn germans and attacks west germany triggering a world war without the rest of the players giving their accpetance of such an attack. Perhaps someone launches a nuclear missile?

Just 2 sides and a mod. Or perhaps players just control 1 side and a couple of mods that control the rest. It would be a lot of fun I think. I think that we would need at least 1-2 experienced mods like uk, Jason or EQ for this kinda nes.

IceEye:

Yes, there was a game sort of like this at Horizon forums a while back.

It was fun as it lasted, but there was one problem: in order to have fun and make it fair, all players of a country had to have AIM and be on at the same time, which rarely happen.

However, if this were to start up, I would have no problems with either modding a certain part of it or playing in it.

I'm thinking (after PUGNESIV is finished) to make a NES like this except with 12 people all playing tribes in Israel. The Israelites see how long they can survive in the desert.

If you realy do it, save juda (or whatever it called in english) to me...
