TATW Tag Team Hotseat

Description: TATW games usually fall into one of two categories: 1) good vs. evil, where you cooperate with multiple factions, or 2) free-for-all, where even when you cooperate with someone, you always know in the back of your mind that you will need to fight them eventually. I thought it might be interesting to play a game where you and one other player are allied from start to finish. You must win or lose together. And hopefully we’ll get some unusual alliances and enemies in the process.

Rules
Tag Team Rules:
- The objective of each team is to win the game together
- Factions on the same team may never go to war with each other for any reason
- A faction may never form an alliance with a faction from another team. This means you can fight battles alongside your teammate, but may never aid another team in battle
- You are allowed to remain neutral with other teams, maintain trade rights, etc. – just no alliances
The rest of the rules can be added later.
In making this post, I have the following goals:
- See whether there is any interest in this tag-team concept
- Get input from other players on game balancing and team forming
- For example, I would love to include both Rohan and Isengard, but I do not see how it can be done while maintaining balance. It is extremely difficult to balance these teams, and I would love any input you guys might have
If there isn’t enough interest in the tag-team concept, or it proves too difficult to balance, I will convert this hotseat to a standard 10-faction game including all the factions shown (plus Rohan). It would not be good vs. evil. Feel free to voice your opinion as to which type of game you might prefer.

With Rohan AND Isengard in a team, they would still face no enemies but Gondor in the south. Then Gondor will have to face Isengard, Rohan and Mordor attacking all from different fronts.
