Default Re: How many Games?

I think creating games on a bimonthly basis is best. There are several reasons for this:

1) It gives people a chance to try new nations and pretender builds.
2) People know how long it will be until the next game is started.
3) People can get acclimated to their games before deciding if they are going to join a new one.

I would also leave open the option of creating an additional game if demand is high. I think games are best if they are in the 8-10 player range, enough to give a good degree of variety and interaction, but small enough to keep the game moving. If the scheduled 8-10 player game fills up fast, you can always have a spillover game start up to take the overflow.

The only other important thing is to keep eras fluid, don't start up a bunch of any one type of game at one time, unless that is what players want.
