36 hours is bad as it means host time shifts by 12 hours every time, so people with a schedule(work, school, etc) need to find different times to do their turn each time, instead of reserving a certain period of the day whenever its available to do their turn each time. we're late enough in the game to warrant 48 hour turns anyway, heck some games would be on a 72 hour schedule at this stage in the game...
I don't understand this reasoning. You would need to submit the turn ASAP, but if you do, you could still play the turn at the same Time of day with an 36 Hour shedule.
Sometimes you would need to wait for the next day, but you could do it, if you want.
why would you need to submit the turn ASAP? that's a huge limitation already... sometimes you don't have the time right away, and need the delay. a 36 hour schedule basically means that once every 2 turns you lost a good 6-8 hours of potential dominions time due to sleeping. also for people who are used to do their turn each time at the same hour, these 12 hour shifts really make a difference. there's really no reason to keep turns away from normal whole day intervals, so 24, 48, 72, etc.
