The last post in this thread was almost a month ago. Time to remove its stickiness I think.

the poll is continuing though, and people are voting, so.....

I think this poll is useless.

Obviously since 50% of the civ community plays duels they think it should be turn based. The other half play multiplayer and they think it should be a combination of sim turns and turn based for when war breaks out.

Ask the question differently and see what kind of response you get.

Ask if playing sim turns is a good idea, then switching to turned based for those colors which are at war... for instance with a 7 player game if the germans and romans are at war, the romans move first then the germans but everyone else moves at the same time

Is that possible - if it were i would vote for that everytime but slightly modified. I would say anytime any 2 units have the potential of moving into the same square it should become turn based (i.e. 2 horsemen of different civs see the same hut)

Also who goes first should change at the end of each encounter - kinda like a possession arrow in basketball - otherwise the romans, from your example, would have a huge advantage. They, in effect, would have the same advantage that the host has now, which is exactly what we are trying to avoid

no because when war is declared, turn order is observed until peace is signed.

It doesn't matter. It's really simultaneous, yet still turn based.
