Idea for an "SP Challenge" game

[sansanjuan]

NT,
That would be the cat's pajamas if you could set things up for the SP challenge. Your mod skills are well known and will be indispensable. I would be happy to assist in anyway I can (even if I'm just waving pom poms most of the time). Given enough participation it might be statistically significant to measure the relative strength of different nations more meaningfully than is currently possible. I would like nothing more that to see Nief/TC/Ermor's aggregated scores eclipsed by a brilliant strategy by a supposedly weaker nation. I would predict that scores for fewest turns would generally get much better as new players absorb AARs and fine tune strategies to attack the map. This is all good stuff. My second prediction is that MP participation would rise as some SP only players might become emboldened by the "DOM on a server" experience.

Note: I'm not saying SP-only players are wall flowers or anti-social. Only that some may perceive multiple barriers to MP play where one such barrier is setup and playing on a hosted DOM server (really quite easy). I Know I was quite hesitant myself at first being an older guy with zero PBEM experience.

Victory Conditions on the large map sounds very interesting and now makes sense to me.
