Note from another forum which should be put here for posterity in case it hasnt been mentioned here already....

Epic games with less micromanagement have been accomplished by things like using a small map but turning the settings for gold, resources, research, and HoF way down; events up, indepts to max (and AI turned on). I cant think of what else. It was different but I didnt see people rushing to do it again

And one from a completely different sites IRC chat:

In the Shrapnel forums the creative writings are AAR (here usually called LP's). There was a game JUST for AARs. The goal wasnt to just win (using unthematic strategies) but to PLAY the nation. Each nation was required to writeup their turns

It was the last time I remember one of the Dom3 games bringing Kristoffer out of the woodwork to play in an MP with us
