Default Re: Time to play

One thing Im afraid of is that the devs will give in to the solo players abit and pass-up on things like AI improvements in order to gain faster host-processing. PLEASE dont do that.

For one thing, the game is a great PBEM multiplayer game and there are few enough of those. For that type of a game long hosting times are supposed to be not a consideration.

But mainly, if hosting speeds up, Im gonna die! Yes these are long games. And yes this is a very addictive game. Im eager to see the next turn often trying to convince myself that Im "just going to glance at it to see if xxxxx worked the way I planned". If this game processes faster then I will starve, or die of dehydration, or exploded bladder.
