Longest Escalating Game?

[zarvinny]

I was just wondering what the longest "real" escalating game was, and on what map.

Currently I have an escalating game about to end on round 14 on the Classic Map.

I understand that the bigger the map the longer a game could last, so world 2.0 can probably go 30 rounds, while ireland is done in 12.

Just wondering if anybody had legit escalating games, probably with 3 ppl left, that were so balanced, the armies stacked and it took many rounds.

i think i managed to cash in a set worth 200 on us apocalypse once playing against some other very good players. i remember deguu was there anyway.

that was a bit silly really

103270 was an 18 round classic. thats as long as i hav played esc.
Game 118998 was 39 rounds but that is flat rate but by far the longest is Game 111891 which is in round 43 and doesn't look like ending any time soon: http://www.conquerclub.com/game.php?game=111891

[s.xkitten]

if you've seen better, why didn't you post them?

Here is the real deal. More than 3 players on a very large map. All players know what they are doing and are in the top 250 or better.

North America map
Round 177, and still going
NOT a build game, but became a stalemate

All High Rank players
6 player game, 4 are left.... fortunantly, i am among the dead
The players:

AndrewB
comic boy
poo-maker
artur1
Genghis Khan - deadbeat in round 123 (can you blame him)
Robinette - eliminated in round 13


They really want it to end... i suggested ending each turn with less than they started with, and there does seems to be some activity...

Next set = 1320
About 118,000 active troops currently on the board... peaked at over 150,000
It's the ugliest thing I've ever seen...

ive been in a few escalating games with good players that went well up towards 30 rounds. one recently saw the first person turn in cards on round 16. it was a very crowded game.

My longest game was 334 rounds, Game 205842. The last set was worth 1390. The game ended when steve deadbeated. Long, but still a decent game with some action here and there.

I currently have one on World that has no end in sight (718066, round 131). Absolutely terrible game. Completely boring and a perfect example of why I would use a "truce" button. I have had other long games on this map, and I'll never play this map again (except maybe 1v1).

Once the numbers get high, there is no advantage to attack anyone.

Depends on what you mean by "real game"...

I was in game 211103... stalemated game on 2.1 that I eventually deadbeated out of. Dunno what the highest cash-in was, but rest assured that everyone left in the game had tens of thousands of armies... took forever to load on my crappy computer. Hopefully I'll never be in a game like that again.
