more team games
Haven't played in a team game yet, but here are some things that would make it more appealing to me:
More team sizes available. I think a lot of people would have interest in 2-man teams. I haven't been playing here long enough to know 3 other people I'd like to play with, and I don't want to get 10 turns in and realize one of my teammates only communicates via 10,000 lines C++. Some particularly social people might even like larger games, up to 6 on each side, I'd just offer a game of each size and players can join what suits them. Hopefully this would also help out with any pre-arranged alliance issues people have by giving every size group a place to play officially as a team.
Particularly in 2-man teams, it would be interesting to let players play duplicate races, trading diversity for more strength in their "specialties". I don't know if that would lock out that race to other teams or not, or which is the better option. Maybe this is already possible?
Just a nicety, but allow the first player to join a team to reserve a slot for his teammates (by name) and possibly their races for 24 hours or so. Shoot an email to the reservees to let them know. The other players would still have to join themselves in that time (to prevent abuse).
Not a biggie, but if at least one player has joined for each team, go ahead and make another one of the same team size so additional full teams have a place to sign up. This might help prevent singles waiting for a blind date teammate holding up games from starting (if that's even a problem).
So just some thoughts. Most of all, I'd really just like to play a 2-man team game.

This request dates from 2011. I believe it has been fixed with the ability to create custom games. If a player wants a team game, they can create it.
