How long does 1 turn take?

Post by mbMike »

Just curious. I've gotten some red flags that the games built in long campaign is very short. Is this true?

Thanks for any assistance.

larger turns normally take me around half an hour to do although PBEM can take me a lot longer.

Unless you have extraordinary amounts of time up your sleeve, the campaign games will keep you occupied for ages - oh, and once you're done with the AI, the game takes on a whole new meaning via pbem.

As far as the built in campaign being short have no worries. At 30+ turns its anything but short. A turn can take me upwards of 2 hours to play (especially during PBEM).

If you're looking for something even bigger a mega-monster campaign will be available shortly (76 turns[X(] )

I'm playing 2 PBEM games. It's early on and I'm still learning, but, it takes me a while. About 2 hours per turn at this point and I still always feel like I've forgotten several things when I click on "end turn"!

It doesn't seem like an issue at all now. Thanks. Just one notch closer to making the purchase.
