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.

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!

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?

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.

You guys could also consider cumulative VPs as the winning objective. It can make games not so long.

Isn't 'so long' what this map is all about?
