Vote to add time

An option that will become available within the last 5 turns of the game that will allow the players to vote on a game extension by 5 turns (or possibly incremented like the max players and max join week). The vote must be majority, or the game ends as scheduled. Perfect for if you want to actually beat each other. and st00f...

Sounds good to me.

Way too many games end by someone lucking out...

Good suggestion, or make alliance of SP ldr all win (like a regular win)

In the case of the game I was in, the SP leader was allied with everybody but one person for most of the game. When the game ended, everybody lost but him. The SP leader (tunceli) refused to ally with him (el_kolonel)

If you want to play longer games, just make it a 100 or 200 turn game. If you have only 50 turns, well, then you have to deal with it and kill your enemies faster.

Its not that easy when the SP leader doesn't really want to most of the time, so he won't accept ally requests (Zizou)

Seems good at first appearance, but easy to abuse.
If a player lost his team-mates, has most SP and did a good job fighting a superior number of enemies, they could just vote for a longer game and would win the vote because they are more.

The possibility to enable/disable "Add-Time-Vote" in the game options ere starting a game might solve this problem - and would make Premium accounts even more attractive.

Moreover it is possible to restrict the number of "overtimes". If just one game length extension of 3 weeks is possible, it is not very likely that this will change the whole game - however, it is questionable whether this would serve the cause of the one starting this thread.

Just some thoughts

Exactly.

I'm totally against this option, since it would motivate unfair matches even more. If a player won by SP in a 50 turn match he only played by the rules stated at the start, changing it in the middle of the game would only make it unfair.

Also, some players only start a game they can finish and if I can only play 50 turns I woudn't be happy to see it changed to 100 when I'm about to finish it.

Just make it so that ALL players have to agree. Not a player majority. If everyone agrees, then whats the problem?

Or a 2/3's vote. The SP leader probably won't want to extend time, also pinheiro is just saying that because he abuses the game ending at 50 turns to hell...

All games should have a definite winner and loser imo

I had a fast look at my profile and found out that the only recent match that ended up on turn 51 was the one you guys lost in a 3v2 against me. I sense madness on your argument.

Also. Aren't you forgetting that everyone, by the start of the game, is aware of the turn limitation? I mean, it wasn't like you didn't choose it in the first place. My tip to those who don't like to lose by lack of turns: avoid games that end on turn 50 or create games with more turns.

Actually, Ive noticed many people come into game with no knowledge of how many turns it is, and sometimes find out it's 500 and leave.
