Whosit is going Galleys to fight the Indians.
This is exactly why you want to be 2nd place the whole game so you can orchestrate something like this against #1, set everyone behind, and win the game. They are working the diplo beatifully.
Also @ the ideas for PB3, I remember a few succession games with master + a few newbies and they ended up being somewhat mixed bag. I remember on with Sullla where people got a little ticked at him for critiquing their moves negatively while not offering any positive feedback and that kinda killed the mood for a while so I guess the arrangement of the teams would need alot of consideration.
