how many games at a time?

[Bartleby]

Hello everyone
I'm just interested to see if other people have more than one game gong at once? I used to start a game and stick with it to the end but lately, since I've been concentrating on beating my own high scores I find I've developed a tendency to start new games before finishing the old one. Now I have two Monarch games and three Emperor games going and not one of them has really gotten off the ground yet. Now I started another game on Chieftain, this time setting myself a silly victory condition.
What do you do?

Most people pick one victory/difficulty, but play several games at once to get the best start. You might play 5 games to 1000BC, then pick the top 2 and play them to 10AD.

Just like what Dave said.

100% AGREED!

BUT, I only have ONE game going at the moment........the reason is that this game is a "Throw-Down" experimental game.....that WILL be submitted to the HOF because there are either none or very few games submitted for this category! (I "hate" to see "empty" slots in the Lists!) .......However, I still used Moonsinger/Dianthus' MapFinder utility program to get a good start position!

If you are going for an HOF NUMERO UNO spot, as DaveMcW & Moonsinger usually are, do something similar to Dave's suggestion!

P.s. I hope DaveMcW doesn't mind my assumed "informality" with his handle!

Thanks for the advices
I'm going to try and finish the games I have going at the moment and from then try to get back to one at a time. I already use mapfinder (belated thanks Moonsinger & Dianthus) and some of my "games" consist of ~30 maps played to between 1000-500 BC. Each time I'm playing one I think "one of the others might be better..."
Anyhoo, thanks again

p.s. nobody need worry about their no. 1 slot! :-D
