Romp -- an Early Conquest Succession Game

[Grigor]

Nice game, all.

I'm with Monk on the no restarts for rapid conquest. How about seeing whether a succession game can actually conquer the world before 1000AD? It seems like it should be not so difficult, but it has not yet been done.

I have a potential small map conquest game which I may set up, in the coming days...

As a point of information, 1500a is the first turn wherein restarts do not happen. Put another way, 1480a is the last year that generates restarts (playing Deity, Raging). There is some research that indicates a probability exists that a restart will NOT happen prior to 1500, under certain conditions. From 1500 onwards, I have never seen a restart.

A Conquest should be possible before 1000a, playing with no restrictions (and with restarts off ). Once that is done, trying it with various restrictions might be interesting. But the current lack of interest in these games is not encouraging. The Great Lady seems to have lost her charm, mores the pity.

That's only because it's not my turn in enough of these games!

I was tempted to start a new one, but Old n Slow beat me to it and I didn't want to clutter the boards with even more unplayed games. I could always just go down the list and pick the game that saw action the longest time ago.
