  • @__---__----__---__

    An ideal FFA player bluffs activity while banking resources, tiptoeing diplo and performs decently when actually fighting. So FFA games are by definition long if there are at least 2 good players. I bet others have solved this problem before, thus googling should help. But one random suggestion from me to incentivize war, is to add a mod that transfers the whole resource bank of a killed player to the killer. Though it would still permit (and incentivize further) this deleting or gifting of kings. And I guess the players would bluff about being out of resources. Still better than now though.

    • @thomasfplm
      @thomasfplm 5 днів тому

      The idea of transferring the resource bank can easily lead to snowballing. If you are already in a strong position and defeats someone, you are now in a even stronger position.

    Just a thought for next tournament if you do it: maybe give people a pool of "points" and scale ordinary through legendary bonuses as costing 1-5 points? Then they can spend their points on different scaling bonuses? This might allow for more creative builds (so not all chakram or mangudai civs) but still moderate usage of powerful techs. Either way, was fun to watch this tourney! Thanks for hosting and casting!

    • @thomasfplm

    3:41:17 I believe I suggested this before, but I think that those alternative units could be in the tech tree with a bigger cost than the normal ones. And some of the extreme upgrades, like Houfnice could also be there with a big point cost. Also, it would be interesting to have a "bonus" that gives you extra tech points, so you get less bonuses, but a more open tech tree. Extra points could also be a way to balance the bonuses. Weak bonuses could give you a few extra points.
