Hi all,

Just a quick general question about the duration of the Titan games... Once turn 80 is reached, what is the criteria to end the game. I see that some games end up at turn 81, others at 83, others at 85... Any light on this?

Thanks!

In turn 80, host rolls a die. With 10% probability, the game ends. Turn 81, the probability is 15%, and so on. Nobody (not even me) can predict when the game ends exactly.

The intention is to avoid that people max out their bases, taxes etc. in turn 79. Instead, your empire needs to still be able to live in turn 80, because someone might attack you in turn 81.

This has been discussed a few times, e.g. here.

Thank you very much. That's a brilliant idea.

Cheers!
