    Default Turn lenght in Kingdoms?

    Does anyone know if the turn will still be 2 years per turn in Kingdoms? or are they going to fix it?
    I´d say 0.50 timeline would be good When thinking that Britannia campaing would receive gunpowder very soon in the game if it would be 2.00
    And timeline would anyways be quite up in other campaings too. Since all of them consist smaller timeline than MTW2 itself.

    Probably 0,50. I would like to see a 0,25 but that seems a little impractical the more I think about it.

    Well, colonization of the Americas was roughly 1500-1650 (150 yrs). The rise and fall of the Teutonics was (again, roughly) 1300-1450 (again, 150 yrs). The Kingdom of Jerusalem was established in 1099 and, depending how you consider it, fell in either 1187 (fall of Jerusalem) or 1291 (fall of Acre and final dissolution of the Kingdom), for a median of... surprise, 150 years. And I'm not sure about the Britannia one, but I'd wager the period in question covers the same ballpark figure.

    So... 75 turns-long campaigns ? 150 turns ? Or 300 turns ? My money is on 1 turn/1 year, with characters still aging every odd turn because of the way the Rome/Med2 engine handles aging and seasons.

    Anything wrong ? Blame it on me. I'm the French.

    75 turn-long campaigns? The campaigns have to be longer than that!

    My guess from the size of those maps is 2 years /turn and because Alexander also was a very short campaign.

    Since when were the turns broken in the first place?

    Didn´t say so but it feels unrealistic when you age 1 year every 4 years, and in 2 years you can´t move a .
    I should have said change it instead of fix.
