But Robert, look at CivStats! The people at War are just about the most active we have, probably that's why they are at War, and all of them had got their Turns in easily inside 24hrs. The ones who don't play regularly are the ones who always hold the Game up held it up this time.
@Japan. I agree 6hrs is probably a bit too short but 22hrs is way open to abuse when we are talking about people the other side of the World. Too easy to time your move so that your opponent will be fast asleep. Not so bad for Greece/Rome/Japan/Russia as we are all in Europe but I have no idea where Natives are.
You then also have no choice but to allow simultaneous movement! Imagine if Rome/Russia/Natives are all logged in together and focusing on a single Japanese City or Stack. Rome bombs it and softens it up with Artillery and we look to seek what's left. If it's really mangled then Natives can take it with older forces, if just badly damaged then Russia takes it so Rome can just move their forces on to the next target with undamaged modern forces! I doubt you would like that but that's what you'd get with only two hours left on the clock for there's no other way that three people could play in that time seperately.
