Ah Syra, those no cards games aren't really popular in standard mode

The teams will probably fill though

I am all for it, because I for one want to play and I get tired trying to setup games with higher ranking players and then end up settling with lower rank players who attack me because of the points they get from me in beating me, so without question something needs to be set-up to keep each class playing in and around it's own level

by the way anyone need a player drop me a line
I am 2100+
*sigh*

I know what you mean Uberwald. If it's not an escalating, chained/unlimited game it's hard to get takers on here. I know most are playing a LOT of games and escalating move faster, but I prefer the slower more thoughtful games. Plus I get my ass kicked in escalating

Ah well, one game filled, maybe the rest will too.

Hello people,
This is Lord Nuke, starting up what i hope to be a series of big games: big maps, lots of players.
All games are Standard, Sequential, Flat Rate/ No Cards, 6 players. Only bigger maps like World 2.0, Siege!, etc. being played.
As i am not premium, there is no password involved. However, i would like only 1800+ players to join.
First one is:
779994, flat rate.
Hoping to see you on the battlefield,
Lord Nuke

Lord Nuke, I don't think you're going to be successful in keeping your games to 1800+ in a non-password game. Perhaps you would be better off finding one player with premium and asking him to set up a password game?

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.
since i got no response to this heartfelt plea for insight, i would like to report back on the 1 of the 4 games originally posted that actually started. i think the players could be called "high-ranked" - one is (usually) 3000+ and a reputed master at the no cards option.
the game, 685340, is in round 23 and doesn't look like ending in the near future. certainly it will be longer than almost all escalating games. however the notion of "logging in and deploying for 6 months" or it being a build game, certainly doesn't apply at this point. it has been brutally aggressive and the army sizes are still low. even when the logs show no attacks, there usually were. pretty much every round there has been something afoot!
anywho, perhaps this the "exception" mentioned above, but i felt compelled to report that it has not been an "extremely tedious" affair, and perhaps urge some of you guys to try out no cards again.

yeah that game has been pretty action packed for a no cards game
