Default Re: Dominions 2 : Rankings and Tourneys ?

Hmm, I am afraid that while a multiplayer game of AoW can be done easily in four sessions (including manual battle, that is), Dominions II takes much much longer to complete. This has various side-effects unwanted in rankings, such as the ranking never actually reflects the *real* position, because the player might get his behind handed over in three games at the moment, which will still take a couple of months to finish.

Furthermore, a lot of people don't stay in Dom II to the very end, but turn over to AI or drop out forever, once they find themselves in a loosing position. Part of that is, again, the usual duration of a game. Even if you're obviously loosing, it could still take lots of turns to the final defeat.
