Why is that, do you think? In those situations is it always everyone's best move to just build?

I haven't played many of these games with high rank players myself, so I'm interested as to how they will go. I'm not overly concerned by the length of the game personally, as I find the endurance aspect of long games rewarding. It's all about patience and timing.

Also in the No Cards games I've played I've been more aggressive than in escalating at the start, because continents are so much more important... however I can see how the stagnation might happen once everyone settles into their areas... wouldn't some players have an advantage though? Shouldn't they steadily make use of their advantage? I guess it's not obvious to me why such stagnation would be all but inevitable based on every player doing the best thing for them to win.

Trust me. Flat rate can be interesting, but most no cards games against high-ranked players can become lethally boring, six-month-long affairs.

Personally, I'd rather gargle with lighter fluid than join any more singles no cards games.

i want to just login to deploy my troops for 6 months... any one want to play with me??

All games are 6 player, standard, sequential, escalating, adjacent
