would it be cool to get a few points for winning as well?
Like 15 points per kill + 15 points for a win???
or would this need to be another option?

where would these points come from? would they come from the players that were eliminated, or would they just appear?

Well the point of terminator games is who does the kill so giving additional points to the last survivor doesn't seem appropriate to the game type.

a good point... maybe like 3 to 5 from each adversary?

and, Zip, maybe you only get winning points if you took out at least one other player

wouldnt you need to kill at least one person to win :?: ... cause when its 1v1 in the end, you would have to kill someone or you wouldnt win...

another good point :oops: I think the heat wave here is affecting my head - brits aren't used to these conditions! 8) <<< for the sun, clearly not because of being cool!
And yes, cake AND eat it, mmm, not that I get to very often round here, Wicked... It's usually me that gets taken out, it seems

you do, but who "killed" the deadbeat in a terminator game?

If it's 1 vs 1 and one person deadbeats it's usually the losing one, if it isn't 3 turns should be enough to take out a sitting duck. But what happens if someone drops out of a terminator game because he missed 3 turns? Has this happened so far? Can anyone tell us?


Anyway, I don't like the idea of awarding additional points for being the last one alive. Theoretically you could grab an easily defended continent and sit out the big war while slowly expanding. Attacking you would be suicide because someone else would take out the aggressor. In the end you kill one player and get points for not taking any risks.



There IS one change I'd like to see in terminator games however. I'd really like it if the points one is awarded for killing another player were a fixed value, e.g. 20. As it is I'm rather hesitant to enter a terminator game because I feel that every private and recruit would head straight for me and try to get the points.

Don't get me wrong, I'm playing this game for fun, not for rank. It's just that it's more fun to play if you have a chance to win, too.

all good points, so far.
I think we can probably, safely say "don't mess"

just out of curiousity what does happen in a terminator if there is a deadbeat?
