Re: New Game PBEM
 

I am in support of 24 hour with quickhost on and victory points with no house rules, standard settings, renaming on and 15 HoF entries. But that is up to Manuk. I will set up the game however he decides.

What´s the point on VP?

Re: New Game PBEM
 

I think it means you get one Victory Point for every capitol you own. That would mean the game could end before everyone was killed. Or it means one VP for every year you stay alive, which I don't see the effect of.

And 24 hour quickhost would be great.

Re: New Game PBEM
 

Well you can set X number of provinces as being worth victory points. Each VP province can be worth 1, 2 or 3 vps.

You can then set whether or not capitols are worth VPs.

Then we decide how many victory points aplayer needs to hold. If it is non cumulative then the player wins when they hold enough victory points for a full year. Setting it to cumulative just means the game will be shorter. I am not a fan of cumulative.

Even with victory points we can set them so it would still be challenge to win.

For example we can have capitols worth 1 VP
(so that right there is 21 VPs on the map)
20 provinces worth 1 VP
5 worth 3 VPS

Then set it so that a player needs to hold 15 VPs to win.

You would still need to be dominating the game to win but it scatters the conflict around the map instead of concentrating it at home keeps.

I think you have greater chance of multi nation conflicts in the same turn fighting for the same province with such a setup.

I wish my wraparound version of Glory of the Gods was ready.

24 Hour Quickhost is great for the start of game but with a game this large it will probably make sense to move to a 48 hour after a set number of turns. Possibly even 72 hours if we reach Year 3 or 4.

I'm fine with whatever, but once your turns start taking an hour to do... it can sometimes be hard to find the time every day to turn it in.

Re: New Game PBEM
 

I´m not in favor of VP. Let´s vote.

Re: New Game PBEM
 

I like VP. I vote for victory points.

Re: New Game PBEM
 

I'm fine with VP if they are not cumulative. Otherwise I would vote against them.

Re: New Game PBEM
 

I believe host preferences are the small reward for doing the effort of hosting. I think we should go with whatever settings you want Manuk. IF its a vote, I cast my vote that way. Please do the game as you wish.

Re: New Game PBEM
 

I agree with Xox. You instigated this game, and although I am hosting it for you; I consider you to be the one running the game so it should be your choice.

I am happy to play with whatever settings you decide upon.
