30 sounds perfect

[Mountain Sage]

OK, I'll start my 30 turns.
Good luck to everybody.

Sweet, the start location looks pretty damn good, actually.

So, we're doing 30 turns?

What is the victory goal for the "opportunist" team, or is there none specified for us?

The Space Ship team, eh? So I've been typecase as a Lego, have I

Time to kick some butt!

[TheArsenal]

I want to be clear about this, because I see posts for both 30 and 40 turns. (I note the DAR instructions still say 40). Which is it going to be? I

played 40 turns last night and do not have a save for 30. If it is 30, replaying that number of turns is not that time consuming, but there is no way to duplicate original game decisions as prior map knowledge would undoubtedly influence me on some level.

[Tassadar500]

The Opportunist team justs shoots for the goal they think is easiest at the time. And 30 turns sounds great

[Tassadar500]

Put it this way if you have done 40 turns now use it. But in the future make it thirty unless there me or Rothaerill change the turn limit.

[Dominae]

Not sure how to deal with The Arsenal's situation. We cannot have one player submit a 40-turn game, and everyone else submit a 30-turn one!

I leave this up to Rhoth and Nuclear to clear up.

(The easisest solution is just to put it back to 40, since you cannot take back turns but you can always play more.)

TheArsenal what about the autosave? Do you have that on?

[TheArsenal]

My autosave is on. I may be wrong (and my game is on my home computer, I am at work), but I am under the impression that once you shut down the current game, the autosaves only go back four or five turns or so. If it does by chance save 10 turns back, then I have no problem. But I will not know for 10 hours from now.

I was probably the second person to download the 4000 bc savegame last night, and went by the instructions given. I did not anticipate the rules being fluid.

[Rhothaerill]

They weren't supposed to be that fluid. I don't think 40 turns was really that bad of a starting time block. The Arsenal wasn't the only one to post a 40 turn DAR so we should probably just stick with that to avoid complications. For the future though, we can discuss DAR length beforehand. Like I said above I started this by the seat of my pants so I'm still not sure what the best turn lengths are.

EDIT: I was planning on going down to 30 and then 20 relatively quickly as we get farther into the game.

Yep. You're a Lego and Mountain Sage is known for his perfect peacenik threads. Theseus and MZ on the other hand are known as warmongers. Had to make a few executive decisions.

[Arrian]

Ok, I'm going to do 40, then (I prefer that opening # anyway).

Cool...Something new to add to the history thread!
