Default Re: A Brief Respite

Actually I don't think i ever voted in Epikbattel. No wonder you won that one.

Anyway, first we need to make sure everyone is ready to call this one. Second, I think it would be interesting to see people's turns. In RAND and EPOTARA we were able to see some people's last turns and it was pretty educational. Gives you a benchmark for future games as to where you should be in terms of gems, how to kit out SCs etc. But I am down for whatever works for the group.

I agree though with Cleveland that early mid game is much more exciting because every choice involves a trade off - do I research Construction or Conjuration, do I forge or research, etc. But now it is just a matter of spending hordes of gem and gold each turn.

So for me this game has gotten to the point where, while there is still some fun to be had, it is not really worth the increasing amount of time to do a turn. In hindsight VPs or a turn limit might have been better. Maybe if we had said at Turn 70 if there is no winner everyone sends in their turn and the one with the most provinces wins? That seems like a cool dyanamic.
