Turns per year?

[Cesare diBorja]

I currently play a game that is twelve turns per year. It's great. I actually get to know and have some(duh) affection towards my family members. When one dies I am actually kinda sad(meef). In twenty-two years, I have had almost 175 battles. As the Dacians, I have conquered most of the Slavic lands I hace Germania, the Romans, the Greeks, and the Sarmations/Scythians as enemies and my other allies have abandoned me. I hold the line with veteran units as my income is way down. It's like, yeah man, survive or die. Most generals have been with me from the beginning but they are getting up there and new blood is arriving. I have two really remarkable young generals and they whip on everyone. My game rocks socks and if you feel my game is too long(270B.C.E. to 366C.E.) you know what to do.

Don't knock it 'til you try it.

A game without season's is dumb.

I would have no problem with this at all. The seasonal turns of STW have been the best IMO so far. One turn each year sees the game fly along at too great a speed to form any 'relationship' or become really immersive. RTW and two turns each year was a little better but still the years can fly and every decision feels like cramming. By ending each month as you suggest it becomes very realistic and I am all for realism. I doubt this will be the case, most gamers are impatient, but at least with four seasonal turns you get greater control and of course, your best generals and family members do not come and go in the blink of an eye
