Ginnungagap christmas special


Recommended Posts

 

You have played hundreds of temperate mainland games, maybe thousands? You mastered to hit the population cap of 200 before minute 13 with ease and your playbook contains a big variety of build orders as well as strategies? Good, let us call that a training for what comes now:

The   Ginnungagap christmas special

 

Every day until christmas i'll reveal in this thread a lovingly selected map and setting specially chosen for you, furthermore times and dates when we'll play. I would love to in invite you warm-hearted to play together on woodless ice landscapes, a extinct vulcan or battlegrounds that might be flooded.
Let's play some already half forgotten community maps and scenarios where so much gaia is crushing your base that it will make your CPU melt, increasing the warmth brought to you when some awesome community members come together for the simple joy of a good free game.

 

 

Next game:

Very good idea. I've tried without success to promote other maps or biomes. The culture needs to change but some maps could take some improvement too.

I invite you to try to play svn/dev version on the busiest days. Playtesting could be very helpful for the release. But there won't be autociv I think.

We had some great games together. Long, laggy and with some oos errors after ~35-40 minutes. For Danubius i really should've considered a bigger time window. I added links to replays of the Day 11 games to my previous post.

@real_tabasco_sauce: I do not have planned to host a community game with community mod until christmas. But i am open for future events with different mod and map settings where creators and modders can profit from direct feedback.

@ShadowOfHassen:  Let's hope i will remember my mementary motivation to make this in 2025 again, so we can make something bigger and better together.

Pizza² has been enjoyed by many players yesterday. In total we played 11 games with the announced map and settings.
These games have been very active from early to endgame. This replay is a good example for a good game with a lot of action, where until a player throw the towel i couldn't tell who is winning, or this one where funny strategies like a Nuba-Clubman rush have been played.


Because a few players joined with new/unknown accounts and lied about their identity or skill level, which resulted in trolled games, I have adjusted the house rules for the next games of the christmas special. Expand spoiler to see changes.

Now i can reveal with pleasure the next map for you:
