This may be a really stupid thought (I do have them some times).
But if G9 is going to be used as a test bed what do people think about this testing this idea if a situation like it crops? - Some games are in my opinion delayed/held up when a key position becomes NPC and everyone else is left marking time while Agema tries to fill the position.
France in G7 is a really good example of this - Half the game has come to a grinding stop, Jacobites and the Forum are going nuts because Louis XiV has caught flu on campaign and is not seeing any of his ministers to give them a few key instructions.............like I want the head of Churchill on a plate or all troops back from England to defend France now.
In past you could take a minor role ie a individual rather than a state in games of Glory du Roi. So it might be fun if players from other games took on the role of Ministers in the key crisis meeting of the Royal Council which fixes the policy say a side of A4 orders to be followed (By Richard playing the generals etc of the key NPC state) for that campaign season year.
Not saying this ploy should be used on a regular bases - just on the odd time when the loss of a player threatens to de-rail game and Agama does not wish to make decisions which could impact active positions.
I like to think various non G7 players but forum users would have been more than happy to pay say £5 each to play Anjou, Burgundy and the other great Nobles/Ministers attending the meeting to draw up a memo on future policy.
Ok this type of situation may never happen in G9 but I was wondering if this could be tested or do people think its dumb?
