Often over one hour, but in Dom:PPP. And Alexti, Illwinter already has multiplied the size of lab-inventory from Dom:PPP... I think there is space for 16 items in there. And it's a pain...

Default Re: How much time do you spend per turn?

Usually about 1 hour per turn. When playing SE4 I noticed my turns were taking far to long while I fiddled with all the settings. What was happening then was that my turns were very effective, but a single game was taking weeks to complete. I finally opted to have quantity (of games) over quality of turns. So I bought a chess clock to improve my pace. I'd limit my start game turns to 5 minutes, mid-game to 10, endgame to 15. It actually works well! It also helps some of the weaker AI races that I was beating easily otherwise.
I'm still learning the basics of Dom2 so haven't tried the 15 min host function yet.
