Has anyone else tried playing a campaign using a synchronised timeline of 1 Turn = 6 months.

I'm currently trying it out and it makes a hell of a difference if you prefer a more roleplay oriented game, rather than blitzing it.

Obviously, events take a lot longer to appear so you have time to fully develop your empire before the plague, gunpowder, mongols and timurids turn up. Might be a bit too easy for some players but I prefer it simply from my gameplay interests.
