I've only run out of time once and it saved the day , temporarily though...

same...the brutii were seiging one of my cities (i was the julii) and the timer ran out just in time. A full stack of preatorian and urban cohorts arrived the next turn!

I dont use timer. I would like to use it but whit much larger tome limits, this way, timer off is great for me.

I find medieval better than Rome for now. Rome is to easy, there is no enemy that I cannot win even ehrn Im 1:2 outnumbered and I play on normal....maybe because of generals....I have many "8stars generals" and AI dont because AI isn agressive.

If they improve AI (greatly) and resolve those bugs related to AI and everything else this game will be (maybe) better than M:TW!!!

I never use the timer and never will. The timer artificially compels you to play faster than you may want. It should be an easily disabled option.

RL permitting, I never pause a battle and only let tactical situations hurry my game.

OK. It really is historically innacurate.

Grrrr.......i feel like having a good moan about the timer, so i'll tell y'all what happened yesterday: i was playing as the greek cities, and all i had to do to conquer all of sicily was to capture the carthaginian town, and sicily would be mine, the perfect base for ruling the mediterrannean!! But no, instead, the stupid timer runs out, just as i was about to kill the last two carthaginian soldiers. That really pissed me off!!

As a side note, what factors determine the length of time assigned to you at the start of a battle? I've had anywhere from 13 mins to 34 mins for an assault on a city, and it doesn't seem to be really consistent.
