Quick update from the dev team!

Post by MarshallEllis »

Hey guys:

A source of tension amonst some in the past is the fact that I (Yes, I) left bidding out of the game. Well the good news that we have added bidding into the game. You can create a password protected bid file that can be added to a master bid file that when full can quickly be resolved into the game results! The rules are as the standard bidding rules of EiA (i.e. Positive whole number bids with no duplicates or zeros and the same resolution order GBR, FR, RU, AU, PR, SP, TU with ties being resolved by 1d6s).

Just a quick update!

Thank you
Thank you

We played with a home rule to bids: There was a maximum number for the bids, because we thought that neither France could won strarting with -50 VP, for example. There was a limit number (20 or 30 VP's)

Other home rule was that nobody could repeat a bid: If you bid for France 30 VP, no Major Power could had 30 VP (perhaps 29, or 28, but no 30).

No repeat bids is standard EiA.  If you do not care which country you will play your bids will be 7,6,5,4,3,2,1 not all 1s
