Dang, that's good! You write that? I can put that in the map pack intro if
it's alright with you.
Well, I am in a quandary.
I got three teams. Good, evil and rebellion. If I add more teams, the
problem is that the game does not make a difference between the maps. So a
map might not have those teams present but the game will still cycle thru
those teams turns anyway.
So I can select three factions. Or divide up all the factions among the
three teams...or what might be fun is to create a warlords mappack
featureing all the factions and each having a team, duking it out on a
single map. Maybe call it age of warlords ultimate destiny. Actually, I
would have to make copies of the same map for each faction so the player can
choose to be any of the factions.
This sounds like a lot of fun. It would be an interesting fight indeed.
Maybe there can be a special unit that needs to gain and keep specific
towers of power or something.
Any of that sound interesting?

I don't mean it fitting the actual story of game of thrones, which wouldn't
fit the concept.
Possibly similar (the king of all the goodly races, who ancient prophecies
have spoken of as being the only being capable of uniting the world in peace
has passed away. Rival warlords, leading groups of heroes, adventures and
beings of great power, however, seek to take the throne for themselves:but
for what ends do they seek the crown?)
