Any Interest in another Big Game this summer(May).

How long did the last one go before the unit limit struck?

Was there more limits that got in the way?

It went well into the endgame. I am guessing the game was in the 80's. Of the 62 nations, there were just a handful left.

I think 10 or so players had empires that could actually fight.

And the unit graphs for LA Ryleh and LA Ermor were off the charts. Way way above the rest. And the 3 Pangaeas, all of whom survived, had lots of chaff as well.

I think with the modifications this game will finish without hitting the unit cap. No other problems were encountered, except for a bug where your scouts could not see what was in the province. And that was just a hit or miss thing. Was not a consistent problem.

Yeah the Mega Game was probably the most fun Dom 3 game I have been involved in so far. The diplomacy alone was good fun.

Too bad about the unit limit, I thought it was up to turn 90+ before we stopped. There was about 11/64 nations left?

The problem was I think even if we all ganged up on LA R'lyeh it would have still taken 50 turns to defeat him with his huge amount of PD.

I would be interested in another one in May if it came up. Xietor's rules look reasonable. Perhaps a more achievable victory condition will stop the game becoming bogged down in the late game. Having huge empires result in long tiring turns of micromanagement that I do not think the game was designed for.

I'm in.

Is there a 1000 province wraparound map? Wraparound eleminates all the problems with starting in the edge vs. starting in the middle.

Also will it be research hard, or very hard?

Why did you ban LA Pan from taking turmoil, they dont get maendads.

btw. im in
