Personally speaking, I don't think games with more then 12 players have any meaning. After 3 years of play. I have notice a formula like this.
The avg length of a game = The Square of no.of players x 2 days.
so a 2 player game last 8 days.
3 player game last 16 days
8 player game last 128 days
12 players game would last 2048 days?!
But luckily we have automove- if we set it to autmove in 5 days. the 12 player problem will solved.

Parker,
I must say that your "average lenght" formula is a little wrong. I take part only to leagues with 8 players per game and these are there stats:
league 483 lasted 64 days 13h
league 592 lasted 63 days 16h
league 796 lasted 50 days 17h
league 867 lasted 50 days 7h
This means that the average game lasted less than 30 days. More over, my experience with league 592, where the auto move was triggered at 3 days, shows me that the best period is after at least 7 days, since 7 days is a week of leave, a common happening for a lot of us. Shorter periods unbalance the game, since some players suddenly disappear from the game, leaving their mates to face much more enemies than planned. Personally I think that the auto move should be triggered before 10 days, since that the period that set the difference between a player that went in holiday from one that quited playing. |
