Games per player poll

[Xietor]

I am presently in 3 mp games:

Alpaca-MA Pangaea
Big Game-MA Ctis
Epic Heroes-MA Shinuyama

Alpaca is late game. Five players left, and total war is about to ensue. So that game will be over i think in next 15-20 turns. I spend 30 minutes a turn. Not much diplomacy left.

Epic Heroes-Game is on turn 50 or so. I spend 10 minutes per turn. My war is going smoothly. Little diplomacy.

Big Game-turn 60ish. I spend about 1 hour per turn, and maybe another hour doing diplomacy. By far more time spent on this game than the other 2 combined.

But being at war with 5 people tends to require your "A" game for survival.

After Alpaca wraps up, I will not join another game, though I may sub some. I think 2 games is my new max.

But I do plan another flurry of work on the Epic Heroes Mod after that game wraps up, then hosting one more Epic Heroes Mod game, before releasing the final version of it.

I'm playing in Perpetuality and Hydrant. And two is as much as it goes for me, I don't even know why I took up the second game while still going strong in Perp.

I answered 30 minutes which is way too small for time I use with Perp. On the other hand, I can't consider that a representative example since I've never had that big an empire - and I doubt I will soon have another chance. I'm just glad the game's going 72 hours soon...

You're in HYDRANT because it looked like way too much fun, and I begged.

I am in two currently, and I think that is my max. Two games takes plenty of time for me.

I'm in 4 games atm:
Nuance - late mid game
Jaguar - early late game, only 3 human players left
DoomChicken - early game
Perpetuality - late game

Generally, i'm trying to keep between 3 and 4 games running, with no more than two in mid or late stage. I don't micromanage often, so i can keep early game time per turn to 5-10 minutes including diplomacy, mid late game time to 15 minutes to 45 minutes a day (per game) including diplomacy.
That assumes 24h timers - most games go to slower timer once in middle stage so that's a turn per 2 days usually.

I am in four games at the moment

Hydrant- Early/mid game
Dolphin- Early/mid game
Mods over Europe- Mid game
BARK- Mid to late game

[Sombre]

I'm in 2 games.

NeoXenkinima and Mods over Europe.

I'll probably be in a third game when lch returns.

About 15-30 minutes for a jaguar turn: Early late game, for two of the players. Third will get a nasty surprise if his research doesn't pick up soon.

About 15 minutes for a chinchilla game. I'd say its in its late-mid stages, for two players. Everyone else is really just entering middle (few summons/powerful evocations)

About 5 minutes for my other games. (Chupucabra and Mara).

I will say my turns are longer before bed and quicker after a nights rest. A good half-hour of time is easily eaten up by indecision after a long day's work. I'd say in midgame, on an 8 player map, micromanagement doesn't take that long, as much as deciding whether and when to break a siege.

Though I don't know if you can call it midgame when I've got Earth Blood Deep Well (agartha) and have a large golem army, R'lyeh has Forge of the Ancients, and Pythium has elemental royalty. And thats only with regards to my immediate neighbors and myself. Not many nations have been eliminated (2, 3), but at least a couple have gone AI as well, so the threat level is lower and the tech level is higher.

I am in:

Allegiances - Mid Era Team Game
Perpetuality - Big Game
Sophistry - EA Game
ModsOverEurope - Mod Test Game

But my sinister influence extends much farther, with tendrils of malice buried deep in the black, secret heart of every player in every game, whispering obscene blandishments of hatred and betrayal.
