I am in a Round 35 game which is still ready to go eaither way (3 players still alive). (7245846)

Is there a record for a long game?

Unless I'm playing hive, or some other huge map it becomes long at round 12 but that's me.

longest games on each map here's the longest on each map you have got a ways to go but 35 is pretty long

It depends on the game type and settings. A no spoils or Flat Rate game between reasonably balanced opponents can easily go into the hundreds of turns. If you want to get an idea for some long games, simply use the game finder to search for all ongoing games. The results will be ordered by game number, meaning that the oldest games get listed first.

a flatrate multiplayer speedgame..

Game 578682 is currently in Round 3380

Standard multiplayer Flatrate or nospoils... somwhere around 40-60 you start to suspect... and as you approach round 100 you know it's another stalemate situation that won't be resolved soon and you sit down to weep at your misfortune and at your optomistic nature that made you join the wretched gametype again...

Then you have two choices. 1) do somthing stupid and hope for the best. (yeah.. that usually works...) or 2) be prepared to wait, week after week, perhaps month after month for one of the other guys to do somthing stupid.

i found this to be long

How do you make 1v1 doodle go 50 rounds? Impressive or something...

Game 1204465 you are nowhere near a long game... there are seriously competitive games that have been going on for several years... the game i posted is a simple build game, but there are others that have been fighting it out for years...-the black jesus

resurrecting this thread, the oldest active game on CC will soon be complete . Game 387875 has been the longest active game for a while, it's been going on since May of 2007. Now AAfitz is taking a break from CC, so it will be down to two players in a couple days and should finish unless they just decide to not attack to keep the game going.

For Standard Games, I think anything over 200 rounds would be quite long.
For Terminator, since there's more motivation to eliminate one another for quick points, I would think 100+ rounds is long. It's a similar case for team games with more than 2 teams.
For Assassin, anything more than 50 rounds is amazingly long because you are simply going after one player, not every single opponent.

My longest (Game 1769530) is still active (with action). Started in February 2008, we have almost hit round 1000.

depends on the spoils and size of the map.

Escalating = quickest
no=spoils = slowest

small maps = quicker
big maps = slower

some examples:-
luxumbourg (19 territs) 8 player escalating will last about 5-6 rounds
world 2.1 (*113 territs) 8 player escalating will last 10-15 rounds
World 2.1 (*113 territs) 8 player no-spoils will last 50-100 rounds
hive (300+ territs) 8 player no spoils will last approximately forever.

*not sure exactly.

What is considered a long game? Any game in which I have to listen to Army of GOD talk.

hey anyone want to play an 8 player no spoils on hive? that should be fun

Hey, I'm in one of those now. It's not that bad yet.

hive takes as long/longer in 8 man escalating because you just get too many troops to justify killing anybody else, in no spoils the people with the most troops can at least get it down to a 3-4 player game because it's worth it to take the bonuses from the smaller guys and eventually take them out in the process of bonus grabbing
