Yeah, what Gandalf said is correct. You can't even see the edges.

The next change from the last game is that there will be an set end point (if not reached earlier).

I'm thinking the game will end at 125. People can keep playing if they'd like, but the score would be over.

Points would be an average of total provinces held over either the last 25 or 15 turns. In the unlikely event of a tie we will average in the previous turn before official scoring... and keep doing so until a winner is clear.

This would mean there would be a definitive end date for the game.

Say the game begins Oct 1st. Assuming we switch to 48 hour turns on turn 25 and 72 hour turns on turn 65 the game will go on for no longer than 285 days (approximately 9 months). More than likely this will end sometime before that (7-8 months?) due to quick hosts, or an outright win by the surrendering of the other players.

Discussion on the victory conditions, game length is welcome.

I would prefer to just let the players playing decide if they want to continue. I don't see the advantage of a arbitrary victory condition.

It's good to know as a player what turn you should head for, so to speak. It makes it easier to plan ahead, and give some merit to holding out the last few turns if you are dying

Wrong thread Velusion? Seems a bit premature.
