I was thinking this game lends itself, nicely, to a 'Game of the Month' format challenge, ala Civ.
Particularly with map seeding as opposed to a 'save file'.

Re: Game of the Month
I think an elaboration would be more like this:
A game of the month is monthly competition where everyone starts with the same starting-savegame (or in this-case world-seed) and the player who beats it quickest (or survives longest) is declared winner.
The point is that everyone has the same conditions to make the result comparable.
People often write reports about how their games are going and afterwards can compare where others went differently. Reading reports of others while you are still playing is considered cheating in this regard.
Overall it's a learning-experience.

Re: Game of the Month
Ah okay that's cool. Although I would much prefer beating it or surviving x turns being the goal. It's the difference between thousands being able to win vs just 1 single person.Xilmi wrote: ↑Tue Jul 24, 2018 12:14 pm I think an elaboration would be more like this:
