Victory conditions…...

The Triplea java-based game has an option for “Honorable Victory” here either side wins if it has attained a certain amount of VC’s by end of a round. The Default I believe is 14. The games I’ve played against the (so-called) “Hard-AI” have all been won on this rule. The Axis have clearly lost at this point and I don’t have to go the extra hours necessary to achieve the OOB Victory Conditions. I’d suggest this added rule as it doesn’t change any of the other gameplay.

Right, that’s what I meant.

Thanks for the review.  Never hurts to be on the winning side.  So I hear…. :|

Thanks!

Yep, that’s what we did, we just played another round before calling it.

After india and china as japan I get russian/nuetral spots for extra income, while I work on those last few VCs.

Hmm….this victory condition seems to make winning even tougher for Axis.

In any case, thank you for the reply!

It just occurred to me that it’s possible, if very unlikely, for a literal draw to occur, meaning a situation in which neither side has the ability to win according to the game’s rules.

If every capital in the game is taken by the opposing alliance, then no one has won but all sides have lost the ability to continue producing units. China doesn’t matter because their units are incapable of achieving Allied victory conditions due to ACME walls. If this occurs and all existing land units are destroyed or isolated due to loss of transports, then no side could possibly win because no side could conquer any new territory. Such a game would undoubtedly be a thing of legend.

If it is an axis win….my money is on Japan…
