How to play a Large Game

[Zantetsu]

Wow this was a fantastic read. I feel that much of what you wrote applies equally to smaller games and it would benefit anyone playing any game regardless of size to read your post. To some experienced players this may all seem elementary (not me!) but regardless the presentation is so thorough and concise that it's a great starting point for those unfamiliar with large games, unfamiliar with strategy in general, or really anyone who just wants to see a crystallization of many of the game aspects that we've become familiar with into one coherent post.

Really excellent work. If you wrote a book on the subject, I would read it.
