Reminder: ALWAYS check the settings of games you join!

Hi all,

We've had a person recently creating games that it was impossible for their opponent to win (Russia vs France, EoG 6 SCs, with the player choosing to play Russia). He's been given a warning for doing this, so it should not happen again, but in future please remember to check the game settings prior to joining a game. While this one was clearly point farming, there are other games with ridiculous settings which are not really against the rules, but which you probably would not want to join.

Also, if you see anything like this happening again (people creating games set up so that they cannot lose) please report it to the modforum so that I can stop it before anyone joins the game.

Hmpf

The 34 sc's victory on classic... is a classic. Or 6 sc's for classic, classic! 10 hour turns. Omg the list is endless

I wonder if you set up a classic WTA with VCs of just 4 SCs... Would it immediately declare Russia the winner upon game start?

Actually what happens if that FvR game proceeds? Assume their units all manage to get a new centre by year-end, it will be 6 vs 8 centres - how will the adjudication be?

@Lukas Podolski In that case, the one with the most centers will win. If they both have the same amount of supply centers, the player that had the most of them in the previous year (in this case, the start of the game) will win.

I was under the impression that whoever had more centers prior to reaching the VC would win

It sounds like people are missing the message here. When creating games, 1) Use common sense. 2) Don't be a douche. When joining games, 1) read the victory conditions and parameters closely to avoid scenario 2 above.

Not missing the point at all, Ruff. Just speculating as all inquisitive minds are wont to do.

The Exploration game, episode III

One year ago we’ve tested this special rule game based on the Fog of War format.
I have to say that it’s been a fun game with original dynamics.
