Time to bump this thread.

Well, turn 25 and the AI Team looks to be on the way out. They do seem to have posed a challenge, at least for some of the players, and perhaps for some of the more veteran players as well.

Abysia has 0 provinces, but I am assuming they've not been officially eliminated yet since you generally receive a message about it when that happens.

Ermor is down to 8 provinces, Agartha has 7, and C'tis only 6.

Didn't you look at your shiny new turn? Abysia is dead now =)

Septimius Severus · #**783** December 14th, 2009, 01:56 PM

Your right, correction Abyssia is OFFICIALLY dead. Poor Abyssia. How long can the other 3 AI nations hold out?

Will war break out again between the human teams before the rest of the AI team is completely eliminated?

In the end, only one team will be victorious. Who will that be?

It is good to see the Dom3 MP and Mods forums still so active with new games organizing and starting, including some with non-standard settings. Diminishing interest (in the absence of a new release) would be a bad thing for the community as a whole I'd wager.

Speaking of interest, I hope everyone is keeping active teamwise and staying up-to-date on forum or other communications as much as possible. With the expansion phase of the game drawing to a close, there will be engagment sooner or later. No game in the NvV series lasted over 40 turns, but this game may break that record it seems. When to attack? Who to attack? How to attack? How much research is enough? Questions that teams will need to answer going forward.

Reminder to Captains: If your alternates have flown the coop (not unusual as time goes by) and there's been no reply to attempted communications, it is always wise to find replacements especially if you believe they may be needed at some point.

Game Note: I'll be posting a poll on the team forums as we near turn 30 regarding whether or not to increase the hosting interval to 56 hours. Please look for it and make your opinion known.

We should hopefully complete turn 30 by that time, we will then have several options depending on the needs and wishes of the players and the availability of subs:

1. Move to the 56 hour host (if voted for) and/or otherwise remain on schedule
2. Do what we did over Thanksgiving (keep hosting active but remove the timer for a few days)
3. Shut off hosting altogether for few days over the holiday

Remember, if you vote for the 56 hour host that will remain in effect for at least 10 turns and is really independent of the holiday decision, though it is one way of buying a little extra time for both Christmas and New Years.

Well, I'm not sure when I have computer access so I vote 2.
If I'm the only one I can also try to get a sub.

This time of year games are usually sent to an untimed quickhost, until the New Year.
