Dominions 2 : Rankings and Tourneys ?

[sergex]

I'm just afraid that all of the tourneys will be decided on stale turns and who keeps interest the longest. If you are giving prizes and such, games can Last forever with the normal settings. You'd have to have really small maps if you want tourneys to finish within a month with the usual 1 or 2 turns per day set up.

Perhaps you could set up a tourney that has a set time limit and require blitzing during set hours so the games don't drag on indefinitely. Say, 2 week game, required to be Online 8PM-10PM Thu, Fri, Sat, and to quickhost the rest of the time on 24 hour turns. That way I could see getting around 70-100 turns in 2 weeks and then just decide the game basded on # of provinces.

Anyway, my point is that with default settings the game isn't set up for a timely tournament structure. It could be lots of fun, but you'd need some house rules and strict time limits and victory conditions.
