    They didn't give us a choice in Rome. They backed us into a corner and forced us to play 2tpy.

    I think you're talking about the long and short campaign choice. They're both 2tpy anyways...

    I have to say they are rather slow on letting the information flow, I expected a bit more to come out of the old website. I cant help feeling they are enjoying our suffering and speculation a bit too much

    Exclamation Re: Number of turns?

    I am inclined to agree. Moreover, I believe they are running behind schedule and don't have time to give us our rightfully-earned salt's worth of information. That, or they could just be whipping together a demo. Come what may, this lack of information is killin' me.

    4 turns would fit very well the limited timeframe in the game and make most sense gameplay wise, being intuitive, allowing for greater variability in the weather and climate and makes a campaign not overly long.

    I would also like the ability to use 2 and 6 turns, if possible.

    I wouldn't mind either a 4 turn seasonal campaign as per Shogun. Terrifying Monks in Fog or Rain.

    Or one that has more turns in the 'nicer seasons'
    Winter 1 turn.
    Autumn & Spring 2 turns.
    Summer 3 turns.
    For 8 turns in total.

    Food and logistics would be nice to have, after all winter had as much to do with defeating Napoleon as strategic decisions.
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

    Since ETW will be covering a much shorter timespan than M2TW (only 100 years apparently), it only seems to make senese to have more than 2 turns a year in ETW so the game will last an appropriate number of turns. Four seems good.

    Tada!

    At this moment in time 2 turns and 12 turns are tied in the poll with 6 votes each!

    And 4 turns per year only has 39 votes!

    What ever are we to make of that? Hummmmmm!?
