Eureka!

A new idea struck the other day while I was pondering some minor problems I had noticed in my primary game of invention (tentatively named "Path of Dominance").

Just to let you know what this game is, it is a turn-based strategy war game, along the same basic lines as Axis & Allies and the various Risk games, but with mechanics and strategies borrowed from games like Farlander, Race for the Galaxy, Settlers of Catan, and Puerto Rico--not to mention ideas all my own.  It is fully customizable for 2 to 8 players.  The possibility for the eighth player is part of the eureka! moment I had.  Now all I need to do is re-do the "board" (which I was going to do anyway) and test the new version.
