Dummy teammate

I was considering adding a page for a game variant I invented myself, called dummy teammate, or dummy for short. It is normally played on small earth, or a map of similar size, such as the Israel map. Every team consists of two players, one human and one AI. And all bonuses are the negative versions of their normal value. And you get 1 army for every territory you own each turn.

In a game like this you will have to work with your AI to ensure it doesn't complete bonuses, because that will lower its income. It's played on small maps because on maps like USA big, or even normal Europe you wouldn't be able to control every bonus of your teammate.

I am not sure if I should add this or not, because it may be not different enough from a normal game to really be an independent game variant. Any opinions? --By [[Moros]] (talk) 12:34, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

Diplo

Shouldn't diplos be included as a variant? Or are they too mainstream now?
