VP's do allow for the "teleport in with SC" attacks for the win, which can be obnoxious. On the other hand, they do shorten the game.

Re: No Gods No Glory PBEM for newish players
 

After reading the AAR of this VP game I suggest caution with VPs.

http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/thr...=&fpart=18

Summary of complaints: the game ended early (turn 48) and abruptly (by raiding). Players never seem to castle thier VPs. The 3 point VP provinces are too much. 40% Vp is too low, 65% suggested.

Re: No Gods No Glory PBEM for newish players
 

Agreed.

Who we still waiting on?

Re: No Gods No Glory PBEM for newish players
 

Gaaarrrr! I cant wait any longer either! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/rant.gif

Just the anticipation of losing in such a complete and total way is immobilizing.

But seriously, i am excited and I am fairly certain that I have set myself up to lose with Marv and a very poor pretender pick.

Re: No Gods No Glory PBEM for newish players
 

Haha, that's the spirit, Cor. I wasn't feeling too well and took the day off and I find myself stranded at home with too much time on my hands... I need the game to start! =)

Re: No Gods No Glory PBEM for newish players
 

I sent in my Vanheim pretender last night (Australia time) so I'm not sure who we are waiting on.

I'd prefer standard VPs myself since it will be a large map and it adds a bit of strategy. I guess they should have defended the VPs better in that AAR game. We should at least go for a province total condition, of course I have not played a MP game yet so I'm not sure.

Re: No Gods No Glory PBEM for newish players
 

glad you are all excited but were still waiting for Imororg-Sauromatia and Kyosti-Pangaea. i have no other way to contact them then the forum so hope they'll check it soonish.

i have decided that we'll play with vp but enough to make the game last and not too many 3vp provinces. i'll send you guys/girls the map once i have all the pretenders.

also i'm in the netherlands(western europe)so i recieve/read most of your post and emails over night. they are a nice read during my breakfast =)but just so you realise the time difference.

Re: No Gods No Glory PBEM for newish players
 

Why not open up the two slots so those that are more interested to play can do so. Or at least set a deadline. Because if a game hasn't become interesting (as in not even starting) people tend to forget that they joined. Just saying and all... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: No Gods No Glory PBEM for newish players
 

Yeah, agreed. It's been four days since inception and if people haven't sent in their Pretenders by now, they clearly aren't interested.
