I'll just put some old ideas here so that they are in one place: Tile Wait Time. If an action was done on a tile: - unit ended its movement in the tile - combat happened there - especially if a tile was worked on (road/fortress) no action is possible on that tile by the player who performed this act...

ADHD-impatient-war puppies who only want to rush out killing Ok, what did we say about taking those pills, darling? Now, be a good girl and do what the doctor said. As for "wanting to rush out killing", your inability to see any other activity in Civ apart from mowing the lawn and going o...

I thought I answered it, but let me try to expand a bit. The problem is the (dis)proportion. The ratio of time you need to spend at the beginning and at the end of the game is bigger than 1:100. And the personal part is just a section of this rand. Ok, I am bored, so what, if it’s only me, I can alw...

I didn't examine every detail, can you tell me how you achieved this?

This is basically a personal rant, but it does contain strong elements of objective analysis. You have been warned. Also, it concerns the class of Longturn games, played online with many players and in a One Turn Per Day setting. I have no problems with this ruleset in single-player mode OR a RTS/sh...

Slightly offtopic: solution to city capture lootis actually simple. Don’t tie the sum to the current stateof treasury, but instead tothe yearly budget. Yes, this could mean that a nation may end up in the negative. Allow this for one turn, meaning, delay disbandment for one turn, but demand back pay...

Well, I can't say I have rock-solid arguments. It seemed like a fair number to set and what I wanted to avoid was a massive global war that would require a player to spend hours every day just to move all his units and conquer half the world to establish his domination. I fear it would be tiresome. ...

So... for N=16, you get 0.5(1+sqrt(1/n)) = 5/8 or 62.5%. Is this what you were going for?

Also, I forgot to note: unless there is a serious game miscarriage like it happened in LT42, I will use the ranks from this game for LongTurn League scoring. The details are somewhere on this forum, I'll dig them up later, I'm on mobile now.

0,5*(1+sqrt(n)) for n=16 is 2.5. Did you mean 1/(0,5*(1+sqrt(n))) (which would be 40%)? But yes, for small(er) number of players this gets slightly out of hand. However, for smaller number of players, it is to be expected that there will be less newbies. Also, this puts some responsibility on non-ne...
