quick normal or epic?

[snoopy369]

So, shall the game be quick, normal, or epic mode?

There are good reasons for each ...

Quick: Allows a more 'military' game, also progresses down the tech tree faster and thus allows more of the complexities of the game to happen at a later date.

Normal: The Civ4 experience, for real; no shortcuts or extensions.

Epic: Allows more of our time to be spent in the early ages, which means more interesting horseman/swordsman/maceman/whatnot fighting, which in quick or normal might be lessened.

In a lot of ways, what we're really asking is:
Do we want our major battles to use Tanks, Cavalry, or Horsemen; Infantry, Musketmen, or Archers?

I'll suggest we hold this to a one-vote-per-team, but there's an unofficial nonbinding poll on top ...

Normal.

Although an epic would be interesting.

[Rhothaerill]

Well if it's a nonbinding poll I'd say 'normal'

Vox hasn't weighed in yet, but I lean towards normal or quick.

Normal. Epic would take too long, I guess.

[Krill]

Quick is balanced, and would help to greatly speed up the game.

Normal is good, I guess.

Epic, we would all be dead before the game finished. That or computers that run CIV would have expired before the game finishes.

Put me down for normal or quick.

Is this a team or an individual vote?

[Krill]

It shoudl be individual, and not be binding. All binding polls should be done by hand, to make verification easier.

Normal is my vote. Epic is okay as well though. I've never actually played a quick game, so I'm not sure how those go. Normal just feels... normal. .

Normal, Aby

[Googlie]

Normal, with quick as a second choice

[Arrian]

Normal. I *might* be convinced to play quick. No way Epic - let's try to finish the game before Civ5, ok?

You planning to leave us some time soon? No, I did not think so.

Yes, I voted for Epic.
