Here's an idea for a game fow mentors and new guys.

-->Specifically arrange a 2v2 or 2v2v2.

-->Each team is composed of a advanced player and a begginer such as myself.

-->Races of team memebers should not be customised to one another, so that experienced learned here will apply to regular games.

--> Either A: The allainces are formed by what avanced player a begginner find, or visa versa. This prevents pregame junk.

--> OR B: The teams are prearanged but team member do not share info/tech/ect. until a predetermined turn. To make sure player can start a game while independence from relying on others for resources of any kind.

-->Adv player can teach beginner how to start off game. Such as planets to colonise, early tech, early buidling, design, ect. Requires Case B mentioned above.

-->The adv will have access to his/her begginer parter's turn files. For teaching purposes.

-->The Adv player can guide and teach the begginer diplomatic skills, stratigy, MM, design, cooperation and other practicle things while in game with one another, on same page constantly.

--> Also helps teams to be even, as far as possible anyhow, since it seems ranking is still under question. Providing a challenging and educational game, to both newb and adv player alike.

--> Other game specifics up for grabs, these being the core ideas/basic though.

--> Provides 1 on 1 tutoring for begginers, giving personalized attention, while yet having fun.

What do yal think? I think I'd enjoy this personally, just because I'd learn so much from a person helping me every step of the way. I'm fortunate Kotk has been helping thus far.

I actually like the idea of mentored game more. For example:

Medium, normal.
5 teams of 2 races that start close to each other.
CA-s banned.
Winner is team with biggest sum of score at 2475.

Each team consists of 2 beginners + one advanced player... advanced player makes one race for each his beginner and does not play... just looks from the side and possibly helps with the external diplomacy.

Since it is quite tight environment the game will be interesting. Also it will be within reason quick... 5 turns per week makes a bit over 3 months.

It is safe to say that beginners who win such game can play on intermediate level. Others who participate will also receive valuable lesson .. no doubt.

Excellent idea! The root core of this idea is that an Adv player can be in the same game as a beginner player, assigned to help him through the game and teach as the game goes.

Being in the game together allows Mentor/Beginner alike to be on same page constantly, plus the fact that each beginner get personalized attention from someone who knows what thier doing.

I'd be willing to play such a game. Smile However, I'm just participating in my first game, not going to host one.

I would love to help with this project. I have done a few of these in the past (team games with 1-2 beginner/intermediate and an expert on each team) and thoroughly enjoyed them. If you get this off the ground please feel free to assign me to a new player or two Smile
