Increased first round timer

Post by HetKwaad »

Hi all,

Not sure if it was posted before but I couldn’t find it. Is it possible to increase the timer, but only for the very first round, where you pick corps, preludes etc. ?

Currently I run out of time in like 80% of my games, but only on this first round. And quite often people immediately want to kick me.

I like fast games, because almost always I have enough time to think in my opponents turn. But specifically the first turn there can be many strategies to consider and calculate, which you don’t always have the time for. Combined with the fact that on mobile, selecting cards can be a bit clunky and can take some extra time. It would be nice to be able to add for example 2 minutes to the first round.

Is this currently possible? And if not, do other people have this problem?

Also, happy Christmas everyone!

I strongly agree with this suggestion. I play mainly turn based because of this, but if there were just a little longer on the opener only I think I’d prefer real time.

This forum is not the right place to search for suggestions, which probably explains why you didn't find it. :)

Suggestions are posted and can be searched for in the bug forum for a specific game.
