13) I would love to have a real time feature.
Real time BAD. Turn based GOOD.

What I mean by that is, the game does not require me to conduct a turn. It does it automatically. From what I gather, the game's date indicator is set up for this feature, but it has not been implanted yet.
The benefits to this added feature are great. The game would continue even if you walked away. Everything would progress as you have ordered, and the game would take on a more real time feel.
The only benefit I can even imagine for this is testing AI mods in long games. To quote someone else in an old thread I can't find, "Do you want to play a game, or run a sim?"

Games with such a feature:
Rebellion
AOK
AOE
I found Star Wars Rebellion to be unplayable because of this feature, and decided not to buy the other two because of it.
Being forced to make decisions in an arbitrary time limit about things that take months in game time is ludicrous.

Cap'n Q
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"
