5 Player Game Thoughts

[davekuyk]

We recently had two 5-player games complete.

5772 on turn 13:

1    AN    Canticar                  36,042      44,714
2    TY    Ozymandius                18,480      23,476
3    GI    CosmicWizard17            14,392      18,871
4    DE    Vball Michael            11,004      15,147
5    WA    (Dropped turn 6 or so)

And 5771 on turn 14:

1    AN    Ozymandius                24,825      29,286
2    SA    Chris WB                  16,869      22,908
3    DA    Windstar                  11,778      15,793
4    NE    CosmicWizard17            11,950      15,123
5    DK    Canticar                  7,040      9,885


The AN seems very, very good in this format. High early influence and multiple enamors allow the emissaries to spread quickly. It would be interesting to see how the AN would fair in such a setting if it came under early military attack. Neither of these ANs did.

This seems like a nearly single-player format, where players can try out strategies. I know I did with the AN and the TY.

What thoughts do others have?

I thinks it just a race for 5 regions the quickest. no time to build up anything just run as fast as you can. so less strategy to me. so maybe the ones that take up the full map are more fun to me. like 4 players 3 kingdoms and territories. I like confed so far the best 6 teams 2 kingdoms. however I would like to do 4 players 3 kingdoms.

Perhaps adding conditions such as only military kingdoms or magic kingdoms.
