But that games can last 6+ months so sometimes it is hard to blame someone that he has much less free time, due to many reasons.

Xietor:

We would need a blacklist of that hardcore gamers

I could certainly not claim casual gamer status. Maybe the test would be if you have won a mp game with 8 or more players, you cannot play in the casual player game.

A glance at the Hall of Fame would exclude many players.

I'm waiting for "Xietor's hardcore gamer questionnaire" now.

I guess all hardcore players love bog beasts...

Huh? Who does not love bog beasts?

That's the problem with us casual gamers ... we aren't willing to spend the gems required to empower our mages to summon bog beasts.

Indeed. Let alone cast GoR on them and make them our prophets!

I noticed I'm not good last game when my nr 1 nation (rushed some giants with my midgard skinshifters and then expanded a bit more) went up against 2 nations (against my will I must add) and on both fronts their large army beat my about as large army without loosing half the troop... I don't do the right stuff with mages.. for one I didn't have them with my army and if I'd had them I'd not have had any effective spells....

It is a good idea. It would be a great place to build further on your MP skill after the newbie phase.

I�m still there though...

Hey, I like this idea too, though I'm only on my first game, I spend a lot of time on my turns. Maybe it'd be nice to have games for people who just want to say spend 15 minutes or so on their turns, but not exactly in a blitz.
