Ok, So there's a new 'feature' in ptw that some may have noticed,
when you finish a game, it tells you how much time you've used. So my first PTW game (std world size, random everything, Monarch) ends (with my victory by domination) and this stat comes up 26hours and change!!!!
So the question is, how do I get a satisfying game without all that time. i figure i spent most of it moving artillary, cavalry and tanks around. How much fun is that?
So, what settings, modifications to rules etc etc to shorten the overall gametime without impacting strategic play?
BTW, I like having at least 8 civs for the chaos effect, so thats my one rule, at least 8 civs...
regards

have a nice day |
Why should there be an option to turn this off? Does it bother you to know how much time you spend playing a game?

But small or standard maps, no islands, and accelerated production, plus some automation (governors in some places, workers automated, rally points) might do the trick for you.
I prefer loooong and detailed games, but YMMV. |
This is the problem, while I'm moving all the military units about, and the bombardment takes soo long, it's not fun... Maybe I should turn off the animation...
But I do like the strategic planning part, but not so much the city managing, stupid stuff like when your fp city doesn't have enough tiles to work because the neighboring cities are using some of the good ones...
The other thing I was mulling, and am now putting into a mod is to make the military units 2x as expensive with 2x the hit points. I don't know what this will do to the AI but I'll see. I've also thought about making armies available from the get-go, but I haven't done it yet...

That's pretty much the game, isn't it? 
If you are not enjoying it, turn the computer off, wash the dishes, take out the garbage, do the laundry, scrub out the tub AND the toilet, change the cat litter, etc. You know: REAL LIFE!
After that, moving your units will seem a lot more fun!

Well, there's always peacetime: cleaning pollution, correcting the governors' production choices, confirming city worker allocations and ending the turn. |
Well, I was going to add this as well, but I didn't want to rant...
But I know there's a fun game in there somewhere...

I love that clock though. 17h, 48m, 8s for my first game. It helps you understand the opportunity cost of an addiction like Civ.
I love this feature and it is key to shortening the game time.
