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.

Feldfeld Posted December 11 Report Share Posted December 11 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. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
real_tabasco_sauce Posted December 11 Report Share Posted December 11 (edited) I love the idea! Although @Ginnungagap Danubius can take quite a long time, so you might need more than one hour between these games!

Ginnungagap Posted December 12 Author Report Share Posted December 12 (edited) 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.

ShadowOfHassen Posted December 12 Report Share Posted December 12 I don't play online games, but I love this idea!!! it's too late this year, but we should remember this and work with WFG to make this a bigger thing next year. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
real_tabasco_sauce Posted December 12 Report Share Posted December 12 If you do water maps, I recommend using the community mod, since the naval system will benefit from balance feedback. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginnungagap Posted December 12 Author Report Share Posted December 12 (edited) @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. Ginnungagap christmas special 2024 Day 13 For day 13 i have something tasty for you. This time we have a time span of 3 hours to play the next scenario. Again and again.

Ginnungagap Posted December 14 Author Report Share Posted December 14 (edited) 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. Spoiler Old Version: Quote Who plays: Everyone joined the game lobby before announced starting time can play. No first come first serve mentality, this time. If more players join then the map allows we will prioritize by game count. Means old accounts with more games played are privileged. To verify your claims I have a replay archive where many of you are in 100+ games. This is for you. New Version: Quote Who plays here: → Long term community members and experienced players. → No new or unknown accounts will be assigned to play. Accounts with a high number of games in my archive will probably be assigned automatically. If you not have been assigned automatically and think this game is for you write: "!play!" If you then are recognized by host or already assigned players you might get a seat. → If more players join then the map setting allows we will prioritize by game count. Means old accounts with more games played are privileged play. No first come first serve mentality here, this time. To verify your claims we use the lobby statistics and my replay archive where many of you are in 100+ games. Now i can reveal with pleasure the next map for you: Ginnungagap christmas special 2024 Day 14 Games between - 14.12.2024 - 21:00 UTC and 2300 UTC - WFG-Lobby-A26 - Host: Ginnungagap Survival of the fittest Replay-1, Replay-2, Replay-3 Map settings: Hide contents Map Map type: random Map filter: all Map name: Survival of the fittest Map size: normal Biome: arctic Map squared: no Treasures: no Explored map: yes Revealed map: yes Ally-view: yes Player Number of players: 1-8 World population: no Population limit: no Starting resources: 1000 Deactivate spies: no Cheats: no Game type Conquest: yes Regicide: no Relics: no Wonder: no Game Speed: 1,5x Ceasefire: no Teams locked: yes Last survivor: no Edited December 17 by Ginnungagap added replays of played games 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
