has anyone thought about the idea of letting armys move more than one province at a time? i mean think of it like this: the bigger ones like the almos have are large and realy shouldnt be able to be passed more than one at a time, BUT up twords france we have these pidaly little countrys that would have brick roads. Doesn't it seem like these should be able to be passed over by more than just one at a time?

The turns should´t be a year at a time.
It should be divided in 4 seasons like in Shogun.
So your army sould ove 4 times faster

You are right in that they should be able to march further in a year's time, but allowing that would really hose up the strategic element of the game. Adding seasonal turns makes this better, but, whew, talk about a loooong campaign

Isn't that what we all want?

A game that goes on until we're tired of it?

(votes for monthly turns in R:TW, WITH tactical sea action)

I seem to remember CA's Gil Jaysmith saying that CA didn't think it a good idea to have customers dieing from old age playing the game, but I seem to hear from .org that it would be OK by US

Correct me if I'm wrong, people.

I don't agree with that. Seasonal turns, while keeping the overall time frame of the game from 1087 to 1453 would blow this game out of proportion. All build times would need to be rearranged or you would need to wait ages for your castles to upgrade, and if downgraded you would see fortresses all over the place around 1200ish. Besides, the number of provinces won't change so chances are you'll have finished your campaign before even approaching High Era.

I haven't been to the Colosseum that often, but I think there will not be turns in Rome, the time will pass continually, so you probably have a slider to increase or decrease the passage of time.
