So, I am in a game in which everyone else has gone inactive and I have about 330 of the 770 Victory Points required for Victory. I am bored out of my skull fighting non-elite AI. How much gold would I get if I grind my way (a.k.a. 
) to 770 vs. just ending via voting to end?
(Also, for some reason, I don't see such a vote as possible like normal. This was set up as a team game, but the other team doesn't even exist anymore as I wiped them from the map. Am I missing something? More interested in the first question about grinding to 770, for what it's worth.)
Unless your time is not very valuable the amount of gold you would gain would not be worth the effort. I think the gold is supposed to be 2 x VP. They recently added additional gold for ranking well anyway which is independent of VP: Oh, Sweet Victory - Higher Winning Rewards!
You have 12 more days that count towards your ranking after everyone else leaves a game. You could continue playing after the 12 days. If you continue, I don't know if it counts your effort up to that point towards your ranking or if it just doesn't get counted. If you continue, I don't know whether that affects the gold for VPs that you had earned up that point either. Does any one know? I retired just to play it safe.
I too am in a game down to last 3 players and we want to retire, but no button to do so. Is that not allowed anymore?
If there are only 3 actives at day change there should be a retire option at the bottom of the newspaper. If it's a team match you might have to capture all the other teams land to end it.
It doesn't happen that day that you eliminate the 4th player.
Are you sure the 4th player doesn't have one island somewhere? If an active player still has one province it won't trigger.
While on the subject: In a recent game our coalition of 3 finished off the enemy. No retire button that day. Next day there was a retire button, but two of us clicked it, third did not. Following day one member of our coalition was declared inactive. The language of the article said: 2 players left, 2 of 2 have voted to retire, but it did not trigger retirement. Following day I had to withdraw my vote to retire and select it again to actually get the game to retire. It might not be a bug, just throwing that out for any future visitors to this thread looking for answers as to why they can't retire.
I think that's the way it works, it's not a bug. I had to do the same a couple of times in the past.VorlonFCW wrote:

Well the exact bug is, that only the event "clicking the button" triggers the procedure "Check if everyone retired" (1/2 going to 2/2). It should also be triggered by the event "Player going inactive" (2/3 going to 2/2). Thus you need to generate the first event, which you can only do by withdrawing and re-clicking the retirement.
