Sir, I bow to your tenacity and breeding skills.

Sure it's 500k? I would think it much more likely to be at 655,360 people.

[Sombre]

Seriously though, how many turns is that?

[llamabeast]

A _lot_.

With Growth-3 and no bad events...about 950.

In the three cases I had growth 3 and was playing Skaven on two of those occasions and Pangea on the third.

I'am kinda surprised I'am the only person who has seen this?!?! My games are on maps that are never over 300 provinces and a max of 12 nations. I mean there are folks on here that play on maps with over 1000+ provinces and well over 20 nations. If they had growth 3 this should come up before the end of such a large game.

sector24: I humbly accept your titles. It makes me want to make a Pretender to go along with them.

Loren: Like I said before I don't know the exact amount that makes the game go back to zero, but its around that number. That much I'am sure of.

Sombre: In the Pangea game it happened sometime around year 34.

400+ turns. Wow.
I can't imagine lasting that long. Do you just push Host for most of those, or are you actually playing them out?
By turn 50-60 it usually takes me almost an hour per turn, scripting mages, figuring out what to summon/forge, manuevering armies etc...

MP games never last that long. Gandalf plays huge SP games, but I don't think he plays them out that long. Most people either end with victory conditions or just declare victory.
