Re: The perfect PBW game?
We had the same issue when I played large, long-term, multi-player wargames:
More players = better games
More players = slower games
Slower games = loss of interest
The trick to keeping them moving at a fast pace and interesting was to allow your teammates to take your turn(s) if you were not available.
So, I would suggest a multilateral max player PBW game with predetermined teams. Set up the game and passwords so that you can perform a teammate’s turn, as needed. Let the teams work out their own arrangements on who is playing which empire when.
24 hour turns/full auto and the No AI mod would be fine for this set up. I would be willing to try this if anyone is interested.
What do you think?
