I don't play simultaneous multiplayer, which is what Norfleet was talking about. Hence his "first pass" comment, and mentioning that the other players are not finished yet (Norfleet is a maniac player and fast, though). I play PBEM and single-player, which is I think what Lintman was thinking about when he asked.

Personally, I tend to take as long as it takes to be happy about what just about everyone is doing, which takes a long time. But I do that because I enjoy it a lot (and partly because I'm a perfectionist), and not because I need to. I could probably be 85% as effective by spending 25% or less the amount of time, if I wanted to. I play quite quickly when I'm trying something out rather than "roleplaying" the whole game.

I do start to find things a bit unmanageable in my larger games by turn 110 or so. I still enjoy playing, but often do one or fewer turns per game session. I haven't timed myself but I think I may have spent an hour or more playing a single turn sometimes. It's still a whole lot of fun for me at that point, but it becomes somewhat of an effort to remember everything that was going on everywhere.
