Well, 100's of hours and straight away are both extreme ends. I don't think I would want the reforms to happen in 2 hours of game play.

My biggest problem is the 3 mintutes it takes the cpu to make it's moves in the mid to late game. It's very boring waiting around. I often play my guitar during this wait. Or read a book or go make some tea.

Infact, I don't play RTR or EB without my guitar.
