With democracy-style team games, monarchy games and even an anarchy game, I began to think what other government styles we could have in a team game. The answer...feudalism of course. (I passed on a fascism or communism game.) Here's how it would work:
I (The King) would have control over our capital city, I would decide what to build and manage tiles, etc. Any units the capital builds would be controlled by me. I would be in charge of foreign affairs, economics, and generally running the kingdom. Each time I build or capture a new city, I would allocate control of that city to a different player (the Duke). They would have control over what that city produces and units they build would be controlled by them. They would send me orders on a regular basis (I would give them screenshots of their holdings) and I would play out a few turns. Other players wishing to participate would be "knights" who belong to one city and give advice. They could potentially be installed as lord in a city built or captured by their duke, as nobody can hold more than one fief.
There will be an economic system that allows cities (fiefs) to earn and spend their own money. There will also be methods to take over other fiefs from rival players, and even overthrow me as king! There will be more details later if this gets off the ground, for now I just want to see who's interested. Any takers?
-your (hopefully) future King
