What’s your suggestion? Who can get the highest score with, say, Sweden? Unfortunately, there would probably cheating. I don’t think there’s any way to verify if a SP game was played without cheats.

MP games take way to long to get significant numbers. Do you have a system of 2 player MP games?

I wish Vicky had recorded games. You know, where you could download a finished game and watch it from the beginning (would need and ultra, super-duper speed).

Whoa, vicky replays would be really, really great and fun to watch.

Maybe one on one-MP games, with two roughly equal nations and then switching so that both player play both nations, for the sake of balance, playing best out of three sets of nations.

That would take a good lot of time, though; but it wouldn't be possible to cheat.

To pull this kind of tournament off, you'd need to find two powerful, yet relatively equal countries in both events and potential, then have two players compete against one another to see who could get the higher score. Of course, you would have to set a stop date, like Jan. 1 1860. You co-uld play through to longer for the higher brackets, and the finalists could play a full game.

When I think of it, it's not nessecary to play best out of three; just both players playing both the nations with the winner being the player with the highest combined score after both sessions.

Also, switching nations like this rules out the problem of finding two equal nations.

US Civil War -1860 senario is a good possibility. Both sides are relativly close with a slight advantage for the North. Its not perfect, but I doubt you'll find a more balanced senario available "off the shelf".

Well, give it a few days. I'll see what I can do about throwing together a few ideas for a basic tournament model.
