I've decided the game will now have a victory condition of holding 400 provinces for three turns.

As a reference, Perpetuality has a victory condition of the first player to hist 650 provinces wins.

I'll update the first post.

I'm fine with the province win condition. I think that one works a lot better.

Province win should be good. But maybe we should set it as a percentage since you don't know how big the map will be. I really think 30% to 40% wouldn't be a bad number to shoot for.

perpetuality has no victory condition.

If you have imposed one unilaterally, since you are in the game, I would suggest setting yourself to ai. I certainly will not recognize any victor in perpetuality if he achieves a victory condition imposed after the fact. Most especially one imposed by a current player who is near the lead in provinces.

Yes it does. Look at the first post.

It will be 40% unless we are significantly lacking in players.

When was that added? I could have sword the game had zero victory conditions when the game started.

As a practical matter, if a race is a clear winner, people will concede anyway. But I am against victory conditions before a clear winner is established.

The player with 65% may not be able to win a victory over then player with 35% if they fought it out. Which makes it arbitrary.

It's been like that since before the game started.

I apologize then. My memory is failing. I cannot remember voting on victory conditions. I do remember voting against arcane nexus, utterdark and bot however.

But I was not following the thread as closely then as I have been since.
