are the archenemies public, or does each player just know their own? what happens if someone gets to 18 before their enemy is defeated; doesn't the game end automatically?

I/T and A/T are both excellent alliances, and strong solo plays for either partner (which make them attractive options in the early game, before solos are risky).

What alliances would be unorothodox? I don’t see many E/R alliances past non-aggression

I don't think any of the available alliances in Classic are unorthodox. Maybe F/T, but that's the only one I can think of.

Damn, I was about to suggest this

It's one of my absolute favorites

Interesting! How do you mitigate that the alliance incentivises both players to build fleets and stomp Italy? After that work is done, especially the Turkish fleet have nowhere to go other than sail west.

The archenemies are NOT announced, players only receive their own information. Players are free to announce (or lie) about whatever they want. When we played it, some folk announced, others did not, and some were deceitful. It all added to the grandeur, imo.

If the game ends because someone got to 18, although they did NOT destroy their enemy, they do not 'win,' (although the site stats, of course, can't tell that apart.) As we played it, win condition was ONLY destruction of your enemy.

^ of course, y'all can make any rules you want.

If the parameters are clear to me, I'm available to assign random archenemies after the weekend.

Does the game end when someone defeats their archenemy?

Yes, Mr. Green is in!

I like the idea of a) private and b) randomly assigned archenemies! I suppose obvious honor system that no one will go for a solo if their arch isn't destroyed.

Here's a question: do we assign some other heuristic value to your arch being destroyed in the event of a draw? Suppose there's a 3-way finish but only one of the finalists destroyed their arch. Seems like they won.

In that game with the assigned enemies, you couldn't draw with your enemy, so all the drawing parties had to destroy first their enemy.

Ahh, I see. Yes that's quite interesting.

to be clear, the game continued until all remaining powers had eliminated their ae?

Aye, I think it ended that way.

I'm certain that this will be a password protected invitee game. Which means that it would not violate the rules against the meta of playing with people you know IRL.

I'm totally fine with this, by the way. Though I don't speak for the other invitee's. I'd also then suggest that we don't play anon.
