Some suggestions for timer problem

[Mikeus Caesar]

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.

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.

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'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.

The re-setting of the timer, when as little as 1 routing inf runs straight through an urban cohort and reaches the square, has got to go IMO.

In 5 campaings, I have not lost a single battle due to the timer.
On the other hand, I won a few because of it.
So, I like it.
