Re: New Game PBEM
We can either do victory points or have a gentleman's agreement about a shared victory. It's going to be a looooong game, regardless.

Re: New Game PBEM
I've never quite understood how VPs work - do you get 1 VP for each special province you own, once per year or something? And how can you tell how many you have?
I presume the number of VPs chosen for victory is such that it doesn't finish until quite late on when the winner's already fairly obvious? It'd be a real shame if the game got cut short prematurely, so I'm sort of inclined towards the gentleman's agreement. But I've heard a few people say they think the fact that the devs have added victory points is a really good thing, so maybe they'd be more fun than I'm imagining. I suppose it could add an element of excitement to have key provinces to battle over.
Just some thoughts, no real conclusions there!

Re: New Game PBEM
Oh also, I see that we have no Vanheim or Helheim. That might be a good thing, being as they seem to cause so much upset. Perhaps you should change the post title to "Glory of the Gods EA Game - Closed" or something?

Re: New Game PBEM
I could join as Vanheim, always wanted to try them out in MP. I can promise not to take a W9F9 blessing if you want.

Re: New Game PBEM
You guys could also consider cumulative VPs as the winning objective. It can make games not so long.

Re: New Game PBEM
Isn't 'so long' what this map is all about?
