    I said it elsewhere but I think four is minimum for weather at sea IMO. They haven’t seen it that way though.

    12 turns would give you much better detail but it would make for a long game as I said.

    I have a distinct impression, regardless of what the victory conditions are that you will be hard put to accomplish what may have been done historically.

    Exclamation Re: Number of turns?

    I, also, love to turtle. Although I will expand, it will be over a long period of time and well within reasonable bounds (i.e. not a Napoleon blitz). I love working together with the AI, maintain vassals, and just play it like a political tutorial, not a game.

    4 turns. 200 turns is not enough. Hopefully we'll have the option to continue playing past the end date even if we handn't met the victory conditions...

    Wink Re: Number of turns?

    I would say 6 but it's not on there Martok could you ad it?

    Reason why is 12 would be to much altough it will give a bigger impact in the game, they could even make it so that certain months would have heavier snow or colder etc.

    4 would give you just the seasons, and is defintly better then 2 . But then you could say Oh it's december I'wont invade Russia because it's winter a bit to predicatable I think.

    That's why I'ld say 6, you could have a winter peak already November, December but less in Jan and Feb. Just to give a example. Or droughts in certain summer months that would give bad crops or shortage of water for troops, and people. and just troop movement will be even more realistic.
    It will be less of on impact for a to long gameplay then 12.

    But I will be already a realy happy camper with 4

    I'd like to see more turns, but inevitably every game seems to have less turns then the last one (or maybe that's jus thow I feel)

    4 sounds good cause of seasons. Yes you would have the inevitable, mass attacks in spring and lack of attacks in Winter, but there could still be some surprises.

    Though as this game is done, and heading out the door I think this pool is a mute point...maybe in the expansion.

    Someone in another thread said that there would only be 2 turns a year, i hope its 4 or 6, but people can mod it anyway.

    I'd like to see four, this in combination with having the opportunity to see what the weather will be like on the campaign map when going into the battlemap.

    This way, you know what you can expect from the weather conditions before you enter a battle which could lead to fighting or not, what units to use etc...

    Would add alot towards gameplay imho.

    As someone mentioned in another thread. I'm sure someone will mod it, however I personally just prefer the original material.

    I save mods for like....crazy stuff...which I can't think of right now....

    I believe we will be able to, yes. However, there will be no more in-game events after 1800.
