Default Re: Monster SCENARIO Project

The way I was thinking to have a single game progress through the ages was to run 30 turns or so EA. The game stops at that point, someone with a lot of time and patience edits the map to reflect the changes from the EA phase and the MA game starts a new game on the edited map. The sequence repeats on the MA to LA transition. This is manageable within the editing parameters as they exist now.

The game would probably have to limit itself to the nations that do segue through the ages, although things like EA Helheim and Vanheim could both be assigned a Vanheim MA nation.

Excluding the time it would take to do the map edit, the largest hurdle is figuring out how to do the troop/ commander transitions from era to era.

Gandalf, I also am surprised that no one has played a MP game with everyone playing the same nation. Someone has made a map where all provinces are hexagons. That would level the field a bit more. The only chance factor would be sites and province type distribution. A game like this would definately provide maximum bragging rights for the winner.
