@Witt Wrong game, this is NML 1914 game 17. You’ll need to post this save game to another game feed.
Looking At The Napoleonic Empires Team Games Played
-
Number of successfully finished Napoleonic Empires games in which all alliances are played by more than 1 player (I guess this is what a “Team Game” is (or would a 1v2 be a team game too, since one of the side was a team?)) I see in this forum:
So, excluding this apparently unfinished game:

Napoleon Game 4: Eight players looking for their marshal’s baton!
axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=33585.0
May 21, 2014, 11:52:23 amConsiderations on the numbering:
-
Assuming that unfinished games don’t count and my definition of team game is correct, the first 3 games appears to be correctly numbered.
-
The number 4 game is numbered as number 5. This appears it is due to the fact that, in between of team game 3 and 4, this FFA game was played:
axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=33585.0
However, that is a FFA game, not a team game (there are no teams: everyone is on its own), so it shouldn’t be counted.
On the other hand, if one would argue that a FFA game should count as a team game (maybe because it allows you to create temporary alliances), then all the following ones should have been counted too (and moved into the “Team Games” sub-subforum):
axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=27181.0
axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=27758.0
axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=28114.0
Of the aforementioned three games, both the first and the second ones were not successfully finished (thus I guess they wouldn’t count), but the third one was.
So, if counting FFA too as team games, this would add 1 additional game that was played before the first one in the team game list started, and this would make the first 3 team games incorrectly numbered.
Re-summarizing, as far as this game is concerned:
axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=33585.0
this is named as number 4, namely:
Napoleon Game 4: Eight players looking for their marshal’s baton!
however:
if FFA are their own thing, this would be number 2, or number 4 if counting the unfinished ones too;
if FFA are their own thing but you would count per game and not per map (so keeping the 8 players FFA separate from the 5 players one), this would be actually number 1, or number 3 if counting the unfinished ones too;
if FFA are team games too (I don’t think so) (and you would sum all the games of this map together), this would be number 5, or number 8 if counting the unfinished ones too (2 unfinished FFA and 1 unfinished 2 sides team game).
Anyway, the most reasonable way to account this is, in my opinion, not counting FFA games as team games, nor counting any unfinished games, and this would make that FFA as either the number 1 or 2 of its kind, not 4 (and it would be ignored in numbering the actual team games).
Also, for coherency, then this mentioned game:
axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=33585.0
should be moved out of the “Team Games” sub-subsection, into the general “Play Boardgames” subsection, where all the other 3 Napoleonic Empires FFA games are (or having a FFA Games subsection too). -
As long as all the above applies, and you don’t count FFA games as team games, the games from number 4 to number 9 are all over-counted by 1 (respectively listed as number 5 to 10), for having added up a FFA as team game, in between of team game 3 and team game 4 (instead, if you count FFA as team games, they would be under-counted by at least 1, as at least 1 other FFA game had been already successfully finished in the past, actually before any 2 sides team games were ever played (or under-counted by 4, if counting all Napoleonic Empires games started so far)).
-
The following two games:
axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=39697.0
axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=40740.0
have both been numbered as game 10, while they are two different games, both successfully finished. -
Based on the above, the games from number 10 to number 12 (currently played) are correctly numbered, as the numbering was offset by +1 on the number 4 (counted as number 5), but then offset (back) by -1 on the number 10 (counted as number 10, like number 9).
p.s.: Looks like all FFA mods of Napoleonic Empires has been ditched. Disliked?

Free for all games were more fun, because of the alliance makimg and breaking, but were considerably slower. I count myself lucky to have played so many. I love the map and the epoch interests me. I think we all 8 have fun, chatting , plotting and playing. It si an easy game and turns don’t need much time.

FFA is fun, but plays so much slower. The fixed sides game is preferred due to the speed advantage.
-
the only problem is getting players to do they’re turns in a timely fashion.
