Strongly agree with Gandalf.

Multiple winning conditions would be nice for a game this big, where we can actually take our time and plan for the extremely long run http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif At least with the right peaceful neighbors.

Szumo, that map editor looks awesome! You should make a thread on the maps/mods forum section.

Some kind of well defined victory conditions/turn limit sounds sensible to me. If it goes on too long people will drift away, and then its somewhat ruined for remaining players. To me the early turns of a game - 0-75 perhaps - are the most fun. 125 should be plenty. However, I won't be playing, so you should probably disregard this opinion!

I'm definitely not playing in a game like this.

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.

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.

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

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).

Perp has been such a blast I'd love to play in another of these games. Looking forward to see how it pans out once it is closer to finalization.

That map looks awesome Szumo! Perfect for a mega game!
