Reduced chance of SGLs in PBEM mode?

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

Has anyone else experienced this or is just a result of the RNG forces?

In SP mode I tend to generate far more SGLs than PBEM mode from techs I am the first to research.

Your sample size (in techs researched during PBEM games) is how big?

My PBEM games have gone on as far as my SP games but I have played far more PBEM games than SP ones.

I have two PBEMs that were two player PBEMs and I generated approxiamately 20 techs first between them and NO SGL was produced.

As opposed to the three I played in SP where I generated a total of 15-17 techs and generated 8 SGLs.

By no means a large sample which is why I posted a thread to see if I could get other players observations and increase the sample size. But nice troll anyway, Dominae.

You know I try...

Maybe SGLs are considered random events like Volcanic Eruptions and Plagues and so aren't included in any MP games???

Has anyone managed to get a SGL in an MP game? I should hope so...or out the window goes the wonder rushing.

SGL happen in online MP games. I average one every five games with a sci civ, maybe be one every ten with a non-sci civ. Haven't tried PBEM.

I'm playing a PBEM with some spanish friends, using the Mesoamerican scenario, and the Aztec player got a Sci Leader very early in the game. Now he's going to win by culture...
