I'd be interested in thoughts from players about why the game lasted as long as it did. I played in TWW and we were all surprised at how long it took to come to a conclusion. It seems as if this iteration of the game also took longer than I would have expected. Any thoughts?

TWW took so long to come to a conclusion (well, in fact nobody really "won") because of all the diplomacy, there was no "survival of the fittest" (by that I do not mean fittest in "diplomacy skill" Wink ) ... It felt to me almost as if races were kept alive artificially ... What was truely surprising in TWW was that so late in game almost every race was still alive! I expected a much more agressive play ... and that's what I got in TWWT!

TWWT lasting this long was much more natural since along the way several races were killed off and the conquerors could actually grow.
Without a chance of allying races were more build to go for a kill. Players took out their neighbours and grew into their space (as Iztok mentioned he took out three players) and than the two big monsters (J and Roar) met eachother ... not an easy battle at that point because they both owned multiple HWs. There was room for manouvering, better: there was time to do so ...
