    My intention was "inclusive of battles" (although its an interesting question either way). I guess what this leads me to is the follow-on question, "how many hours /week do you play"? Because I'm only on my 3rd campaign, and I wish I was on my 10th. Lots of posts about units, etc., that I've never even started!!! I play pretty slowly, and only a few hours on Sun night usually, so I guess its not that surprising.

    Late in the game, I'm going to say three per hour, not including battle time.

    I'm only on my second campaign, and I started playing in February! I just don't get enough time to play.....I'm torn at the moment because I want to start a new one, but I just got the "world is round" and I haven't been to the New World yet...so I think I'll hang on for that...

    Yeah like some above me have said, it really depends on the situation in the campaign and how far you are through it. I have had anything from 2-3 minute turns to 3 hour turns due to fighting large critical sieges. On average I would say about 5-10 turns a hour.

    I find you get quiet periods when nothing much is happening except crusades marching etc. and those can go pretty fast.

    But then if you're using all the game elements to the full, including Merchants, Spies, Diplomats and Princesses it needs quite a bit of time to actually check through everything and make sure you haven't missed an opportunity.

    I suspect that those who blitz the turns are relying heavily on military conquest for income and success and only involve the other elements when they are needed to overcome an specific problem.

    I personnally try to make the most of every signle turn, being a micro-mgmt freak...
    Turns when i'm fully militarily-engaged can last about 2 hours or even more...
    A Battle lasts almosts 20 minutes and sieges may last as much as 30 minutes with the clock on...
    I like to make the most of my diplomats, spies and so on...

    PS : One thing that buggers me is why can't a diplomat try to negociate with more than one faction at a time like it did in RTW... Seems logical that you could have a MTW2 "G-8" with plurilateral talks....
