Someone I met on BGA & I are teaching each other various games... When we're not done, but want to stop for the night, we change it to turn-based, so we can finish it another time, (& play real-time games with others.) Changing it gives us the +8 hours per turn (maximum 2 days) timer, but keeps it on training mode.
Instead of changing to that timer length, without being able to change it, if a timer has to be added at all, I think the length should either be players' choice, or the +2 days per turn (maximum 6 days) option, since the game started with no timer at all.
