Is this game even doable in turn based?

Post by Pelleban »

Never played this game but as I understand it is quite long to play? Is it even doable to finish a turnbased game, it must take like months?

It depends on the player count and how often those players log in to make a move.

I think I have played as fast as 1 week with 3 dedicated players, or in rare cases a game might last many months.

If players are in similar timezones for play hours, I would roughly estimate 1 month might be normal.

try to play with other people who have successfully completed games. when a game does finish note the ppl in it and invite them to future tables you create.

Hi, this is a long post for me to say it’s long but amazing for me.

I’m a dad and no way can I get any more than an hour dedicated to myself, so turn based has saved my life. I check my phone from time to time and put in my moves then move on with my fatherly duties.

With that said, it takes a long time. In my fastest game (with people I have played with before and won’t leave) set to the fastest timer. It took us a month and a week or two. If the turns are slower, like one move per day, then it would take more like 2 months or more. This also depends how fast people are scoring their objectives. So far my longest game was round 6 status phase.

Also, when first playing, you might come across people who just stop playing or time other players out right as their timer hits zero. I try not to play with those people. Usually if they’re active on the chat, they’re good to play with.
