Phase completion times

Post by Dancing Bear »

Hi all
I was wondering if over the Christmas Break, you guys might be able to help with some data collection. I'm interested in knowing the relative completion times of diplomacy against the other game phases to see how effectivce sim dip has become. I'm sure some of you retain your commin files for short periods of time. Can I ask some of you to look in that folder and report the creation times of the first and last file in each phase, i.e. for Game year 1805 the December dip phase started on May 5, 2010 at 12:30 pm and was completed on May 6, 2010 at 6:45, the December 1805 reinforcement began at May 6, 6:45 and ended on May 10 at 10:30, etc.,
Thanks
DB

not sure of the exact details, but it's now by far the fastest phase now. Usually only taking a couple days to complete.

Your experience is the same as mine. Sim dip takes at most two days to complete (usually about 24 hours), any other phase will take about 4 days. Sim dip is a good 4 times faster than any other phase.

Marshall, this has to be one of the best fix/improvements to the game that has been made.
