Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
Yeah. Crap if we have a game like that then we can't have all the discussions and betting early about who will win. No one would be able to say ahead of time who is strong or not. Leave it just "my army can beat your army" until only one is left standing. So those with more experience will know where they rate. It doesn't matter if a game this big can never finish a game that way. Because that's the way the game is supposed to be played.

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
Yeah, it would suck to have actual strategy in Dominions. Damn, who came up with that stupid idea.

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
In a game that is basically ALL strategy, I'd have to agree with Wikd Thots.
Image a small nation with NAP's to all it's neighbors. It is free to spam forts, research, and cheap units. And if it played it's cards right it could win the race to the uniques.
All of a sudden a nobody non important nation just won the game.

Velusion's own suggestion sounded very sensible to me.

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
I've always looked at all those other attributes (army size, research, forts, etc...) as just tools to help you take over the world (ala provinces).

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
To me, I see different victory conditions as a way for players with different playstyles to be able to win it. If someone is turtling it out, people would have to stop him, too. It requires more monitoring and spying than a normal "get as many provinces as possible" game. Also, it gives a strong nation a chance to win by thinking in a new and creative way. It's like the different victory conditions in the Civilization games.
