First Turns Fast! poll

[joncnunn]

I'm failing to see the point for anything other than deciding if the first turn should be strict or not.

On turn 2, a non expansion civ has all of one order to give to one unit. (Generally the worker, but could be the settler if settler started on bonus tile, in which case the worker is busy improving the starting tile and settler will just found now.)

On turn 3, a non expansion civ has nothing to do other than hit enter. (Worker could not have finished improving the tile it started on in either case.)

i thought so too at first, but don't we have more than 1 settler and worker?

Looks like exactly 2 settlers and 2 workers. Doesn't change my vote any.

3 Settlers, 3 Workers, 2 Warriors.

correct

so 3 turns 1 for each settler/warrior and worker

The first turn is the one that needs the time. Once we have that screenshot, we can easily prepare several turns in advance, allowing us to move things fairly rapidly after turn 1.

So let's go easy on turn 1 only. After that, 12 hours is plenty of time.

I voted for 3. But 'whatever' is good too.

Small teams. Talk fast. Make a decision. Press Enter.

Part of the point here I have to say is to allow teams to get organized. Some of the teams here are well organized, experienced players; some are inexperienced with DGs and will undoubtedly take more time to gel... I don't think we should penalize them.

I understand your points Jon, I would just add that the initial turns allow the teams to get some organization etc. Afterall there are a number of new players within the teams, and most teams have members scattered all over the planet.. is all

thanks
