MP: NEWBIE GAME - EA - Stumble onwards to Victory! [STARTED 12/12 REMAIN]

[Lunaje]

Anyone for a more relaxed schedule? It's turn 58 by now.

[mattyburn7]

Sure. Want to switch to 60 or 72 hours?

[Lunaje]

I'm fine with either, the more the better, but if anyone else prefers 60, I have no problem.

[mattyburn7]

k. I'll add 24 hours to current. Then switch to 72.

[Russian_Comrade]

Guys, I'm going to be in Kazakhstan on the work trip next week and won't be able to make my turn until Thursday.

Thanks for understanding.

[mattyburn7]

Not sure if you'll be able to get this turn in or not, but I'll postpone current until Friday. Cheers!! and hope you have fun also on the trip.

[mattyburn7]

I delayed 24 hours.

[Reverend Zombie]

Let's don't prolong this on my account. Ermor?

[jimbojones1971]

Yeah, fair cop.

I'm pretty sure I can preserve some form of territorial integrity and remain viable for maybe five more turns, but Helheim is playing well so I won't do better than 1:1 on average and he will grind me down with his much superior income (gold and gems) and then crush me under his boot heel like a tiny, insignificant bug

So yeah, I am good to call it - well played Austen!

Talking of victory conditions, I really do like "more than half the capitals, for three complete turns (e.g. not counting the turn that you take a capital)". Seems to work well to produce an outcome.

[Lunaje]

Helheim scores have been going from too high to...overwhelming. 154 provinces, 325 gem income, that's like everybody else combined. The fight is fun, but seems a little pointless. Any thoughts?
