World 2.0 would work amazingly, not only because you could start with 2 countries a piece but because the smaller continents would actually be possible to hold after a few turns. That map would make much more sense for the No Cards game, but I would really hate to see another one of those. Flat rate (or teams as you suggested) would be the way to go for the next one.

I like the idea, but the winner getting 600+ points for luck of the draw is insane

Why insane Millej? With over 35,000 members this is better odds than the lottery, and we
are smack in the middle of the Holiday Season now.

Not sure if it'll count for much but wanted to make sure my name was "on the list" for any forthcoming Battle Royale...
Cheers,

It has a lot to do with luck, but considering the game i saw where the winner came from Egypt...there is also a lot of strategy behind it. Hey, kudos to winners of these. They truly are some the best at strategies.

I think we can simply use the World 2.0 map for this, since it has 115 countries, allowing for up to 115 players.
Last night we finished a RT on the World 2.0 map with 5 players and the following settings:
- Sequential
- Flat rate
- Chained
The total game time was 6 hours non-stop. All the players were fast turn takers and strategic, with two majors, a captian, and others.

thats gd news AK
i realised a long time ago that we just had to wait but thought that a thread like this mite hurry it along a bit more. as for the 115 countries for 115 player i think it would b gd if we could make it so each player gets 2 territories. then it is slighlty more strategic rather than plain luck. say 55 people and 5 neutrals? i don't know. i'm sure it will b gd however it is.

Yeah, I don't like the idea of 115 people. First of all, that would make the winner get 2300 points assuming they are the average rank in the game. That is just absurd and not needed (it would probably put them in first place on the scoreboard not matter what!)
Also, in the last battle royale a lot of people didn't get to take their turn because they were eliminated long before they were able to start. That is just dumb luck to be eliminated in the first round before you can begin.
If you each start with 2 countries then the chances of being taken out are not very high. And it will bring added strategy to the game since you could start building in different places.

I'll push D2A to start a new Battle Royale once I've made some related interface improvements.

lack, will Battle Royals ever get out of the Beta stage?
Or will they always be D2A exclusive?

LOL
so they will work corectly, but only D2A can make them?
o well...
You should start one a month so the people that get eliminated in one can join another, as well as encouraging new people to try them.
