I'm looking at setting up a multiplayer game focused around Alexander's successor kingdoms, with secret diplomacy allowed between players. I'm hoping to get a player at the head of each of the successor kingdoms, and the remainder (up to the full 16 player roster, if we can manage it!) playing as various minor powers surrounding the successors, especially those which influenced the wars between them historically. Secret diplomacy will be allowed and encouraged, for the Diadochi to plot against one another and for the various minors to either band together to resist the larger powers or to attach themselves to a major in order to crush their local rivals. Bribes and gifts in-game, as well as out-of-game negotiating, cajoling, pleading, intimidating, and so on are allowed and encouraged
I imagine the PM system on this forum would be the easiest way to do that, unless we agree to set up a discord server for the game or similar.Required countries:
Macedonia
Lysmakos
Antigonos
Ptolemaios - Wulfburk
Seleukos
Suggested minors:
Epirus
Athens - chb75
Sparta
Achaia
Aetolia
Rhodus
Judea
Byzantion
Bithyna
Paphlagonia
Pontus
Armenia
Media
Iberia
Kolchis
I'm open to suggestions of other nations which could be included as well. I thought about including Rome, as historically they played a large role in the later parts of the successor kingdoms, but I think that would pull the focus more westward and a Rome unopposed by threats to their west would be a bit overpowered--I think I'd prefer to leave them as an AI nation. Also, feel free to note any preferences as to platform for private diplomacy. I think discord might be easier, but that depends on everyone having the platform. The game isn't set up yet, but if you're interested post to claim a nation and I'll PM a password once we've got enough players
I'd like to play, though I can just coordinate if we get enough interest. If I had my pick I'd like Macedon, but again, I'm willing to be flexible
