King of the Isle (finished)

[thejeff]

Cumulative vps only accrue during one summer month.
So someone will have to hold it for 3 years (Or in the right month of 3 separate years.)

...Oh. Never mind, nothing to see here.

*cough* ; )

Isn't it that you to keep it in 3 turns in a row and then it resets?

It's one VP for the player controlling the province the first month of each summer (month 6 of the year iirc).

I don't know if 3 cumulative victory points is the best choice, I'm hesitating with 2.

2CVP
pro : even if many players manage to control the isle one summer, the game won't be too long
con : if one player takes a good start, takes the isle for the second summer and keeps it two years, the game may end as soon as turn 42

3CVP
pro : good minimum and probable duration (60 turns if a player dominates, in the 80-100 if 2 or 3 others succeed to score some VPs)
con : if all player manage to score vps the game may never end (12 players x 2 vps x 12 months) + 12 for the last vp = ... 492 turns if everyone succeed to control the isle 2 summers before someone scores the third vp)

Heh. Well, speaking for myself Twan? If that rather extreme 'con' case of 3CVPs somehow happened...that strikes me as one *heckuva* fun-looking game! ; )

I wouldn't worry. I'd rather have a chance at a fun, close game that ends up lasting longer cuz everyone's playing well, than a game that's over quickly just cuz some player got lucky or something.

My vote, assuming it matters, is for 3CVP.

What is the deadline for confirmation?

I continue my tests and will release the version of the map we are going to use this week end, then ask for pretenders. So it would be cool to know if we are full or search some other players around this date, and have all nation choices in the beginning of next week.

Ideally the game should start the 1/12 (so we can do several of the fast first turns in the week-end).
