Long turns?

[Alexander's Horse]

Deity says his modem is slow. There is an obvious solution to that problem called upgrade. Does he want us to take up a collection?

I went through some very long turns. Fortunately,never saw 1h turn but I had to wait 6x half an hour when playing KenThur in same session (we played 30 min. time limit). Then I finally went crazy,turned off PC and never showed up to continue.

I just waited for Alexanders Horse to have a one hour turn.

What are some of the longest turns you have ever had to sit through?

This is absurd. One reason I'm very particular about who I play with unlimited time.
MOVE ONLY. More games might complete if time trolls would show some consideration.

Oh chill out Slowwhand, it was the decisive turn of game - knocking finbar out. I warned the players it was going to be a long turn. I launched a seaborne invasion using about sixty units and took 8 cities. It was an intricate manoeuvre.

Finbar only stayed in the game for 2 turns after that, so there's a time saving for you

I look forward to doing the same to you one day Slowwhand

Yeah, I didn't have a particular problem with the time he took. I could see what he was doing. There's no way around taking an eon with that sort of invasion force. Which isn't to say I didn't join Hydey in taking the p*ss out of Horse for it. After all, not to would've been unAustralian.

A couple of other things in my defence

. It was the first turn of the session so there was the usual hello blather and farting around.

. Finbar dropped and we had to restart. That cost about 20 minutes.

So I think the actual turn time was 30-40 minutes. Turns before and since have not been as long.

But its a nice troll on Horse

Has anyone ever played a MP game complete with a low time limit? Something like 5 minutes a turn - no matter what.

It would give CIV some RTS feel. Also the defender has a chance to defend before 20 cities are gone. If you have a 100 units to move you better move the important ones first!


oh, and long turns... that's why I don't play MP anymore. All night for what? 15 turns that in a SP game takes me 1 minute. CIV II is not a MP game, not a good one. I hope the AI in CIV 3 is a lot better.

[markusf]

yes all the time. Most of the games i try to join are 30 second max... We used to have a really good group going, unfortunately nearly all of them are gone... Although me and arii can finish a game in about 7 hours... launch a spaceship that is, with no tech trading etc

You listen to "You're So Vain" by Carly Simon a lot?
I wasn't particularly talking about you, only about long time in general.
But bring it whenever you want. back at you

[Alexander's Horse]

No, I listen to "man with a slowhand" more.

Vain? Moi?
