This thread is a tangent of another idea (See thread titled Other Alliances in AB).

Actually, I really like this idea - with a slight tweak:

GWEN "Alliance Battles"

a 4 team AB fought in various GWEN territories that would pit
Dwarves, Norn, EV, and Asura against each other.

Teams would be a total of 8 each, with hard-timed starts for all battles. If no opponents are available, or not enough are available, the appropriate replacements from the "race" you are playing with will join you.

The roleplay is a little messy, because the toon is human, and the race you represent isn't. Maybe it would be called "Gladiatorial Training Pit". And it represents mock battles between the 4 sides, to prepare them to face the destroyers.

In any case - this would be a fun PvP way to train up the title tracks on a PvE toon.

Also, it would add a slight PvP element to GWEN (since there isn't any at this point).

Matches would be 5 minutes long, rewards would be balthazar, and title track. The placing when the match is over (1st, 2nd place, 3rd place) would determine additional points rewarded.

Example:
8 Norn Champions, 8 Asuran Champions, 8 EV Champions, 8 Dwarven Champions. All 4 have a base, games could be CTF (pure CTF - grab flag, run back to base with it in hand), Team Kill, King of the Hill, or a version of AB - controlling various points on the map. Bonus points could be awarded for killing the various Destroyers that would spawn across the map during the battle.

When there aren't enough humans, the AI spawns a team of up to 8 members of that race that will perform the basic functions required for that map. When there is only 1 "Norn" champion, that human would have 7 Henchy Norn. The teams would need to be balanced so that 8 of any racial henchman would be able to roughly kill 8 of any of the other teams.

Anyhow, it's a rough idea. It would encourage some PvE players to jump into PvP environment, and be an additional selling point for GWEN.

If theres already a thread on it, go post your suggestion in it. No need for 2 threads with the same topic.
