This game is for people who like a fast paced game that finishes in a 2-3 month period. We will be on a 30 hour hosting interval the entire game. Since that reduces the potential audience considerably I'll refrain from making any other changes to settings as I might normally do. Moving at this pace does put pressure on players as the mid-game begins but I also find it really gets everyone into the game having a new turn every day.

Some things to consider:

* Every player will get two 30 hour hosting delays that they can use whenever they want. If you have used your delays it's your responsibility to find a sub.

* This game will not take that long to play. Please commit to seeing it through. Obviously if you are a major power and stop taking your turns I'll be forced to look for sub. Given the small audience for a game like this I don't imagine it will be an easy task finding one. Out of consideration for the other players please finish the game even if you've lost interest in it or Dominions in general.

* Note that there are several holidays in the next few months. I am open to deciding ahead of time that we will put the game on hold on those days. But if you have a vacation planned please arrange now for a sub to take over for you during that time.

* If you are successful you will get to the point that your turns will be fairly complex. If the thought of not having the time to fully optimize your strategies bothers you this probably isn't the game for you. There may be some turns where you have to say "good enough" and send in your turn.

* If you sign up for this game you should have experience in how long it takes you to complete late game turns. Early on this won't be any different than a normal game so consider if you can handle it if you've got 30-40 provinces and are at war (if you've got more than 40 provinces this game should basically be over anyway).

Sorry to hear that but it's always good not to join too many games and have them become chores (especially one that has the quick pace planned for this game).


I'm open to map suggestions. Looking around the llamaserver I see a lot of maps around 90 provinces but I really don't think we want to go that high - a 70 province map will make the endgame a lot more manageable for the final few players. We could also just generate a random map.

[earcaraxe]

hi! i have intention to join. man.

[Kojusoki]

finally a fast paced game! id love to join! ill send the nation asap

[Valerius]

Welcome, earcaraxe and Kojusoki! The game is now full.

Kojusoki, the game isn't yet setup on the llamaserver. I'll do that in the next few hours.

As far as a map goes, Sixlands is balanced but at 15 provinces/player it's larger than I had planned for. Opinions?
