I'm a new player and just curious. In single player, how many turns does the average game take on the different size maps? And the same question for multi-player?

Also, is there anywhere I can see not just a general 'after action report' but an actual turn by turn account of a decent game?
In answering your question this depends on the size of the map, skill/knowledge of the game, the nation you play, the strength achieved by AI opponents via middle/late game and whether or not you've setup the game with some type of victory conditions. With multiplayer add the variable of time limit setup for the hosting of each turn which can change each week.

The game takes about 30mins to learn all the basics, but the game has great depth so even after several months you'll recognize new strategies. And as more months pass you'll feel confident enough to provide the AI opponents with great advantages such as setting them up as allies or providing them a strong set of scales.
