Default Re: Is there much demand? - Slow-paced, mid skill level game

Ive had some games on the Dom3Minions server that were geared for slow going and long learning.

They tended to really huge maps (even maximum) and tended to play more like a comfortable MMORPG than any effort for one person to come out the winner. Particularly if the map was boosted with surprises, and the opponents list filled in with boosted AIs. I had one such game run for more than a real-world year with some people dropping out and others stepping in. (on Dom3Minions the option for players to go AI can be locked)

Just mentioning an alternative game type.
