Re: Newbie PBEM game starting
It sounds like this will be one big game, I can't wait.

Re: Newbie PBEM game starting
60% sounds good (for province control, I mean). Although, with lots of players, 51% would probably be OK. Winning Dominions by total domination is very difficult and tedious.
Another victory setting, victory by % total population under your dominion, might be interesting... but it doesn't exist yet...  It would be problematic with Ermor and Ctis, though.
You know what would be cool? If we could get some Johans and Kristoffers in the game=) Send them a couple PMs! Designers are notoriously bad at their own games, because they play the way it's SUPPOSED to work, rather than how it actually works=) Thus, they could probly be considered newbies

With Descartes as your avatar, you should be able to take it philosophically  . As for me, I'll be astounded no matter what happens...

Re: Newbie PBEM game starting
Why doesn't anyone prefer servers? I'll gladly run a 24/7 server. I'll even join if theres open slots.

Well, I can't run a 24/7 server on my home box, as it isn't stable enough over long periods of time to do that. Unless of course, you can restart the game at a later time.
Really though, I know how PBEM works, but I have no idea how Dominions server play works over month long games.
Also, make sure you've password protected your pretenders, so that nobody is tempted to cheat.

Hey, that's what I'd prefer - non-automated email is a pain - and especially web email=) Is there no limit to the number of servers you can run on a computer? But I'm not the one who proposed the game, so it's not my decision. I appreciate your generosity, though!

P.S. You can switch from one mode to the other at any time, if the server fails, for example.
