kcbob - I agree. Another thing to consider might be cutting the team back to 5 players; then each player could expect to have more than one or two chances at the helm.

[kcbob]

DaveV, I hadn't considered that option. That might work, too. Or some combination of both. The gigamap succession game looks like it's blasting off with 7 players on board.

5 turns seems fine. I haven't played yet so I'm not sure. I reserve my final opinion until later.

Maybe where we have 20 turns cut it to 10
15 turns to 7
10 turns to 5

The turns in the start of the game do go very fast, but if it was 5 turns across the board I guess the rounds would just be faster.

I think leaving the games open to up to 10 players is fine. Especially if the number of turns per round is cut back. This emphasizes the succession aspect to this type of play. The idea that you have contributed to your civilization but (to paraphrase) the wheel has turned, now the time has come, the time has come for johnmcd to go. (that might be lost on those not in the states - no offense intended.)

Maybe instead of limiting the number of players per game we could start 2 games with inverted lists.

Note: turn = one Civ turn
round = one group of Succession Game Turns

John. I'm surprised you didn't receive my e-mail containing the save file.

I sent it to your newscientist e-mail address on November 6th.

I didn't mean to place any blame on you or suggest it was in anyway your fault. I've been having real issues with my PC. On Monday I reformatted my hard drive and dismantaled it and put it back togeather in a different order, its seems to be better now but before hand I was having some issues with outlook downloading mail to an non existant folder or something. It was odd and I lost quite a lot of mail, thats why I stuck up three (or four) addresses in the end. It seems to working better now, though I couldn't mail last night for different ISP reasons. Anyway, the problem was really just a symptom of other problems.

How many warriors did you think we needed!?!?!?!?

[johnmcd]

I sent it last night but it bounced, so its gone again now, you should have it by now. I actually took my turn ages ago, its pretty clear we have some very differently thinking people on this game.

[Daddy-O]

How are we coming along with this game?
