But people can and will disagree, it's probably just a matter of opinion.

That's why the battlefield turn limit should be an adjustable game setting set at the start of the game.

THUS EVERYONE IS HAPPY.


Another painful point is the auto-kill which should be changed to an auto-retreat.
The game shouldn't be auto-killing mages, commanders and SCs just because of a battlefield turn limitation.

Each game turn is several months? What makes you say that? I don't think we have any information at all on how long the game turns that isn't related to seasons, do we?

After all 4 seasons have finished one year passes. Each season is has three game turns... roughly 1.33 months for every game turn.

I favor the changes. If there is an army of mages spamming skellies, then use different spells to targets the mages.

Or have an sc cast the spells you want to cast so he does not need to flee from skelly spam.

There are many options to using tactics that are already banned in many current mp games.

1. Why do you think they have a 16 month year?

2. How does 1.3 = several even if they do?

Edit: Seems I was lagging behind a bit here and you've already said your math was off. Question 2 still applies. I feel like you're trying to strengthen the impact of statements in support of your argument. But saying a turn is 'several months' when you thought it was 1.3 goes beyond the usual hyperbole.

Discussed in previous post... it's actually 1 month per turn as pointed out by Tifone.

Night without sleep. Thus I shouldn't have used the word 'several'. Again... last night I had no sleep.

A game turn is one month... still a huge difference verses 50 turns on a battlefield. Literally the attacker(and sometimes the defender) are sometimes fighting against a game clock during large battles because of the 50 turn limit. Increasing the game turn limit helps remove this unrealistic variable for battlefield strategies.

without a new game engine, i imagine increasing the length of battles may make the delay between turns unbearable in large games.

But that is just a guess.

Depends on the computer, which is why an adjustable battlefield turn setting would work best.
