EmpiresRising MA game for new players - started

Well we could go 75% victory points. That way you have to be the clear winner but you don't have to track everyone down wipe them out completely.
I just don't like the idea of spending 2 or 3 weeks digging the last few pretenders out of their fortresses.
Especially if the losers get upset and don't have their turns.
But then I don't know what the victory conditions are for standard victory. But I assume it means you have to kill every pretender and take every province.

MP games never reach the point of trying to conquer every last province - that would be very dull. All the other players will surrender when the winner is clear, since no-one enjoys a hopeless game. So there is no particular need for something like 75% victory points.

If you were going to have VPs I would recommend capital-only ones, since people will always defend their capitals properly. I don't have any real opinion on whether the game is better with or without them though.

I'll join as Man

Llamabeast has been in touch in regards to when he heads off on holidays leaves reasonably soon which means we don't have the usual 5 days to recruit people.
But anyway hopefully we will get another 4 today/tonight and we can play an 8 player on Parganos.
So no VP's, standard victory.

PS It looks like you can upload your pretenders already.

If you can't get enough players in time I can set it up to start when it either has N pretenders, or at a set date/time, in my absence. That should probably be fine.

MA Pangaea, please. I've only finished one set of 3 games, and had started another set when I lost access to dominions for some time, so if I don't qualify, fair enough.
