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.Haven't seen any "not historical" comments yet......

Re: Some suggestions for timer problem
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.
Re: Some suggestions for timer problem
On the battle field I've never been granted more than 20 minutes whatever the size of the armies...whereas it varies on length when I assault a city. Each time it was according to the settlement size, not the garrison in it.
Re: Some suggestions for timer problem
I've never ran out of time, maybe once or twice now that I think about it, but I always have plenty of time...useually about 30 minutes...
I pledge allegiance to the underworld One nation under dog,There of which I stand alone,A face in the crowdUnsung, against the mold
Without a doubt
Singled out
The only way I know
Stepped out of the line,Like a sheep runs from the herd
Marching out of time,To my own beat now
The only way I know
One light, one mind,Flashing in the dark
Blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts
"For crying out loud" she screamed unto me
A free for all,Screw 'em all
You are your own sight
I want to be the minority,I don't need your authority
Down with the moral majority,I want to be the minority
Re: Some suggestions for timer problem
I've turned the timer off and there's no way I could be persuaded to turn the stupid thing back on again.
The game is much more enjoyable without the silly thing.
